The Mummy: People on here are underestimating this film. The first trailer exploded online and has some of the highest trailer views for any 2017 movie. Additionally, the IMAX trailer with messed up audio exploded and got people talking more. Do not underestimate how much people love The Mummy. The first film adjusts to 260M, and the second adjusts to 303M. Even The Scorpion King adjusts to 133M! If they had 3D and large formats, the first would have grossed over 300M and the second might have approached 400M. Tom Cruise hasn’t had a big hit lately outside of the Mission Impossible series, but he can be a big draw in the right role. I have had enough of people saying these predictions aren’t controversial. Many have gone outside of the normal range, but people still blast me for this. You want some fucking controversy? I’ll give it to you. The Mummy is going to do to the Monsters Cinematic Universe what Iron Man did to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (I’m just realizing they have the same initials
). The biggest box office hits come unexpected, and The Mummy has all the right components to break out: a bankable star, buzz, and nostalgia. A Cruise Missile is incoming. You’ve been warned.

Wow, so much wrong with this:
1) this was not a non event in the US, plain and simple. This is Rowling we're talking about here, and the film is tracking to about 240 mil.
2) I damn hope you have never praised a marvel film or a Star Wars film in your life, to be honest, because civil war, and really almost every single marvel film, have been terrible films driven solely by action. Sorry that's what you wanted and didn't get.
3) Fantastic Beasts, and the rest of the Wizarding World brand, is sophisticated and creative in ways your fave superhero brands or Star Wars franchise is/are not. Those are light entertainment made to sell toys. I could not for the life of me even begin to comprehend how Civil War and Rogue One were anything but cute, toy selling mindless action films. They're always the same and they only take some risks, if any. Fantastic Beasts has pretty great acting, a complex and compelling story, amazing, huge-scale production design, a beautiful score, great costume and lighting design...Disney franchises typically go for loud childish bombast or nothing.
4) What Disney blockbusters have officially done is taken character away from film. The plot drives them and everyone cares about the characters because of what they do, even narrowing it down to how they move and what bad guys they defeat. A number of people on this forum obviously have been trained to not be able to sit through any form of cerebral/emotional/psychological character driven moments whatsoever, which again, are few and far between in franchises and branded entertainment today. Except in The Wizarding World. Which is why it's been shunned by so many tough acting 40+ year old man-babies
5) The films and books in Rowling's brand are about the only commercially viable piece of entertainment that gets dark, tragic, and takes risks, and says a lot, about war, murder, loss, coming of age, repression, discrimination, bigotry, Capitol punishment, depression, hatred, fear, losing innocence, education interference, political corruption, and spirituality, among many other things. Fantastic Beasts and Potter are some of the only effortlessly sophisticated, morally and thematically mature pieces of branded entertainment in Hollywood today, to a reasonable extent, and it absolutely pissess me off that they're constantly disses and patronized by 30 year old man-babies who love to play with their Disney Store(TM) toys and eat that SW branded GoGurt and try to mask their far more infantile obsessions with Lamentations on how "stupid and kiddie Potter is" and how "Star Wars is so Shakespearean". Ohmygodshutthefuckup. Shutthefuckup. Shutthefuckup. Star Wars is so light in comparison and young skewing in comparison as well I don't know why I have to fight with these people.
And of course, when patronization doesn't work, they just opaquely trash it (^you my friend) and continue to act like its a Transformers sequel or something, and it isn't the highest grossing franchise, highest selling book series, and second most expensive entertainment brand in the world with far more consistent critical acclaim than Star Wars or Middle Earth. Jesus, get over yourselves.

YUS at HOHW being in the top 5. It's a shame that every other film Ben Foster was in sucked eggs this year, because he was GOAT in this flick.

3. Beauty and the Beast
4. Wonder Woman
5. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Fist Fight is waaaaaayyyy too low. It looks like one of those crowdpleasing appealing comedies that overperforms.

Way too high on Lego Batman, too low on Fifty Shades.

Is this gonna be like all of those Lego Batman clubs yesterday where there are 5 people doing the exact same thing?

Solid stuff overall, outside of Live By Night being far too low. I don't see it being that huge of a bomb. I'd say around $50-60M. Obviously very poor, but this won't hit Nice Guys level box office.
