Want to make things light and delay the inevitable doom and gloom that's sure to come this weekend, so I'm gonna lock in my top 10 movies for the summer, so we have a fun thing to talk about. 1. Despicable Me 4: 415M 2. Inside Out 2: 400M 3. Deadpool 3: 335M 4. Twisters: 205M 5. Bad Boys: Ride or Die: 180M 6. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: 160M 7. Garfield: 145M 8. Fall Guy: 140M 9. IF: 135M 10. A Quiet Place: Day One: 120M Furiosa I sadly see bombing with about 95M and get labeled the biggest bomb of the summer. Alien Romulus probably about 85-95M, which would be great for a niche franchise dealing with tons of poorly-recieved entries. Fly Me to the Moon and Horizon will probably do somewhere around the 65-95M range movies of their kind do nowadays. I think Borderlands is still a big deal, so though it's probably just a fans-only thing, it can still do a fine enough 60M or whatever. The Watchers and Trap have good breakout horror concepts, but original horror and Shyamalan in particular aren't in great spots at the moment, so we'll see with those. And hey, as the resident complainer that original movies are dying and people only want NTCs and whatever, I do have Fall Guy and IF beating the 120M ceiling non-big IP movies generally hit. I actually think Fall Guy and Apes are a lot better positioned than you think, since they are the only PG-13 blockbuster movies for weeks. If you want to exclude Quiet Place for being more horror than action, the next big PG-13 movie after that is...Twisters. A whopping 10 weeks between that and Planet of the Apes. That's unheard of for a summer movie season, and both those films can benefit, barring any disastrous reception. This is a lowkey, but hopefully still fun and chill summer for all of us. I dunno.

I mean…guess it still met tracking. Could be worse? I guess?

“YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT WAS COOL, RIGHT” 😩🔫

Nah. There may have been a chance if COVID never happened, but that dream is long gone. People don’t care about theaters anymore.

Agreed.

Meets tracking, and it can still leg it like Beekeeper to get to the lower end of the 65-120 range most of the “big star, no big IP” movies reach these days. It’s fine (btw, I don’t care about this movie’s budget, so don’t even bother with me on that)
