Just now, That One Guy said:
k explanation time.
HTGSC - Illumination has been on the rise and this has a prime pre-holiday release date that'll allow it to have legs far into the season. Also based on the huge book. The live action adaptation from 2000 was also huge, so imagine what an animated one could do.
Spider-Man - wild card prediction, but I think this one could really break out. Lord and Miller are making this one, and we've seen what they did with Lego and Jump Street. Also has a holiday release that'll help give it legs.
Scooby-Doo - scooby doo is a massive property, nostalgia is big, and if it's up to par with the other WAG release that have been released, then I can see it breaking out, albeit being a little frontloaded.
Mortal Engines - Jackson producing a quasi-original sci-fi flick is bound to get people hyped for it, and it has a holiday release date. And honestly at this point, I wouldn't be shocked if Han Solo stays put, so it wouldn't have much competition from that (my prediction will adjust though if it moves)
Ocean's 8 - I'm predicting a WWZ style breakout for this. It has a big ensemble cast and a recognizable property and a talented director.
Aquaman - out of almost all of the superhero flicks out there, this one seems like it'll suffer the most from fatigue. Would people really wanna see an Aquaman movie? Christmas legs will help it out though.
Gigantic - it just doesn't seem like it'd be that appealing to the GA. It seems like a Good Dinosaur redux waiting to happen, and I predict Grinch to still be going strong.
A Wrinkle in Time - Pretty sure BFG is a more well known novel than this, and we all know how that did, despite Spielberg being attached.
Grinch: Still, above $400M? Only 5 other animated movies have crossed that threshold, and of those, 3 were sequels to already huge movies, one got it through two other rereleases, and one got it due to absolutely crazy WOM that's a rarity among most box office runs. Not to mention how crowded November will be. I do agree though Grinch will cross $300M, possibly even $350M
Spider-Man: I guess, but I'm still hesitant. Spider-Man's going to be surrounded by a major superhero movie and a major family movie, and the last animated superhero movie is only making $175M, and it's fresh off of a huge Lord Miller movie people loved.
Scooby-Doo: Yeah the Mystery Machine gang is popular, but a $100M opening in September? Really? If Spongebob, the most popular cartoon amongst kids and adults today can open to only half of that number, why would Scooby-Doo double that? However, I can see it crossing $200M, but definitely not above $250M.
Mortal Engines: Jackson's only other non-LOTR blockbuster was King Kong which made over $218M, and that was a remake of one of the most famous movies of all time. I don't believe Mortal Engines is all that popular of a book series, there are zero stars, and Jackson isn't even directing the bloody movie. Does your average Joe or Jane even know about Peter Jackson's other movies?
Ocean's 8: Admittedly, I kinda see where you're coming from, although I would probably have the movie pegged for around $160M or $170M. (Is Ocean's that popular of a property?
Aquaman: The character will be fresh off of Justice League, and he's already considered a favorite in the marketing, at least here on BOT. It's also going to be the most recognizable brand for Christmas audiences, much like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. So why would it suddenly drop like a rock in comparison to every other DCEU movie?
Gigantic: In what world is a Disney musical based on a classic fairytale not appealing to the GA? Will it be a Frozen hit? No. Will it be a Moana hit? Probably not. But I'd still think plenty of people would be excited about the next Disney musical that it would make around Wreck-it Ralph numbers at worst.
A Wrinkle in Time: The BFG had zero star power and was the second-to-last collaboration Disney had within their deal to Spielberg and Dreamworks, which only gave Disney two or three hits I might add. A Wrinkle in Time is a Disney production through and through and has Oprah Winfrey, one of the most famous and most influential celebrities in the world, inbetween other recognizable names like Reese Witherspoon. Do I expect it to be a big hit? No. Could it miss the century mark in its total? I wouldn't be surprised. But I can only see around John Carter numbers at worst, and most definitely not below BFG.

It was an early night for previews yesterday with both Sony and Warner Bros. trying to respectively pull in kids and the elderly for showtimes starting at 5PM: The Culver City studio with Smurfs: The Lost Village and the Burbank-based one with Zach Braff’s remake of the 1979 George Burns-Art Carney-Lee Strasberg comedy Going in Style. This morning, WB reports that Going in Style knocked off $600K, crushing Smurfs which made $375K.

Who cares. The studios and production companies involved would love to make money immediately, but they know that eventually it will be worth it. Harrison Ford, Ridley Scott and Roger Deakins aren't getting any younger and it was a chance to grab the hottest director and great young actor and do something classic. We should all applaud them for it like we did when they gave George Miller a bag of money and turned in a masterpiece.
Don't worry, the real people at Sony and Warner Bros. who financed this churn out stuff like Jumanji and Emoji Movie and Justice League and Ninjago so they can justify making the really cool shit for the proper budget.
10 minutes ago, EmpireCity said:The stuff people should be rolling their eyes at is things like $170m for a throw away Tarzan movie or $200m for a stupid King Arthur they supposedly had to shoot twice. Those can be entertaining movies, but could have been done for a lot closer to $100m each.
Something like Blade Runner 2049 is worth any price they throw at it.
This is why you're our 2nd best Gawd.

I read the novella in one night. Got so caught up in it I never even checked the time, just kept turning page after page... and suddenly it was morning. And I had tears in my eyes from the ending.
Dammit, it's a really good story.
...that fuckin' miniseries.
Bronson Pinchot was a national treasure in that series!

RIP my Box Office Survivor game.

Variety published their final Buzzmeter for all the major CinemaCon movies shown.
Blade Runner, Dunkirk, and Red Sparrow are at the top, while Book of Henry, Geostorm, and The Emoji Movie are at the bottom.

I will be so happy if this and La La Land help create a resurgence in original movie musicals.
