    and everyone knows armageddon is garbage.

     

    Better example would be Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line.

    True, but I wasn't talking quality. I was talking box office success. Also, Thin Red Line wasn't really a box office hit, especially compared to Ryan.

    Out of curiosity, whenever we've had two movies in relatively close proximity that cover the exact same material (an adaptation of a public domain story, a biopic of a real person, etc.), has it ever turned that they both became successful in the end? Or has one of them always been the red-headed stepchild?

    Well there's Deep Impact and Armageddon.

    Can't wait to see how many screens Hardcore Henry loses next week. Hopefully that allows for some of the smaller movies to retain their screens. 

     

    That's two misfires in a row for STX after a strong start with The Gift. 

    The Boy was a misfire?

    I bet Disney gonna be pissed when Tarzan bombs this summer, because they ll have to wait another decade to do their version. WB is practically trolling them with their fairy tale megabombs.

    Well Disney's doing a Peter Pan live-action movie despite Pan bombing, so...

     

    Also, count me in on the Mulan train. It would be pretty killer in live-action, if it's done right. Just get Jamie Chung, and I'm there!

    Hello guys. Joined today because I am super hyped for Jungle Book. Disney just keeps bringing them. I honestly only follow box office for their incredible movies. 

     

    Randy Savage is better.

    Come on, that's just too low.

     

    You haven't seen the freaking movie and yet you predict it on the lowest degree??

     

    I don't buy the "Oh, but Zootopia will make KFP3 gross lower, because that's Disney" crap. I just don't!

     

    Both movies will be big hits.....but let's not overfavor that movie and underline this one. Be more realistic than this.

    I'm sorry, when was $135M a bad thing? Is it a fantastic number? No. Do I completely agree with Han? No, as domestic-wise, I feel a couple extra million can be added in, due to an entire month to its own with zilch family competition. But that's not a bad number at all. It's only just below the production budget, and with $545M WW, that's 3.75 times the budget, which even including marketing means that it made a pretty hefty profit. So why are you getting on him for predicting something that is both logical and still profitable for the studio?
