So close, and yet so far.
Predictions for next year:
1. Fifty Shades Freed
2. Black Panther
3. Ready Player One
4. New Mutants
5. Rampage
6. Infinity War
7. Solo
8. Deadpool 2
9. Oceans 8
10. Incredibles 2
11. JW 2
12. Ant-Man and the Wasp
13. Hotel Transylvania 3
14. M:I 6
15. Venom
16. Halloween
17. Dark Phoenix
18. The Grinch
19. Fantastic Beasts
20. Ralph 2
21. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
22. Aquaman
23. Mary Poppins Returns
I'm a little shaky on a couple of them, but if there's one or two breakouts in the mix (The Post, Wrinkle in Time, Nutcracker), maybe it'll be broken next year?

Has anyone on here done a winners and losers list for box office before on the site?
@cookie did some unfinished retrospectives on 2015 and 2016.
And I heard through the grapevine someone with a Daisy Ridley avatar is planning on doing one for 2017.

I did a forecast on Saturday with it finishing at 297M, but with Sunday and Monday surpassing all of our expectations, I think it'll easily cross 300M.
Hopefully it crosses $305M. Then it would be Sony's biggest non-Spidey flick ever.

Sorry if you already did this, but what do you think Jumanji's run will look like? I was looking at BOM, and if this beats Night at the Museum, it will beat Men in Black and be Sony's biggest non-Spider-Man/non-Bond film ever.

All the new characters were great and strong additions to the SW Universe.
Simple as that.

Sony / Screen Gems 1/12/18 Peter Rabbit Sony / Columbia 2/9/18 Alpha Sony / Columbia 3/2/18 Paul, Apostle of Christ Sony / Columbia 3/28/18 Slenderman Sony / Screen Gems 5/18/18 Sicario 2: Soldado Sony / Columbia 6/29/18 Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation Sony / Columbia 7/13/18 The Equalizer 2 Sony / Columbia 8/3/18 Barbie Sony / Columbia 8/8/18 Cadaver Sony / Screen Gems 8/24/18 Goosebumps 2 Sony / Columbia 9/21/18 Venom (2018) Sony / Columbia 10/5/18 The Girl in the Spider's Web Sony / Columbia 10/19/18 Holmes & Watson Sony / Columbia 11/9/18 Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (3D) Sony / Columbia Venom will do it easily I think
Hotel Transylvania and Spider-Man also have a good shot at crossing it too.
The rest are LOL

If you want to avoid SW discussion and circling arguments about the film, join me in talking about the other movies:

Because Clay mentioned this thread and debating Star Wars is no longer fun:
I'll gladly eat crow on my original predictions that Jumanji was going below Journey 2 adjusted. NATM numbers are in the bag, and while $300M is a longshot, that would be absolutely amazing to see. (Or maybe it won't be that hard. Paddington 2 seems like the only real hurdle for the film)
All the Money was a little disappointing to me. I thought the Plummer/Spacey switch-up and good reviews could have gotten it above $5M. But I guess it would have made far less with Spacey in the role, so it's all kinda moot.

Symbolic. Fate of the Furious and Jumanji teaming up to keep JL out of the top 10. Family indeed.
The one thing Rock and Tyrese are both equally happy about.

Should've told them to bugger off.
I wish I could. I had family with me and I knew my mom would get mad at me for making a scene.

All the Money in the World was decent. Now, off to eat some lasagna.

All the Money in the World
X-Mas Day, 3:30 PM, 80% full
Trailers
Black Panther
Annihilation
Fifty Shades Freed (Kinda appalled that there was no "Crazy in Love" in the trailer. C'mon Universal, that's practically a tradition!)
The Post (The people next to me immediately went "Oh, I definitely need to see that" as soon as Hanks and Streep appeared)
12 Strong
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
Sicario 2: Soldado (For some reason, the people next to me gasped when del Toro took off his mask)
The people next to me were pretty annoying. When literally anything bad happened in the movie, they would gasp or say "oh no", and many times they would talk with themselves. Not a fun crowd to be at.

Pretty decent film. It definitely feels overlong, particularly in the beginning, and Wahlberg and Charlie Plummer didn't really do anything great, but it's still pretty captivating and there's some pretty solid performances from both Michelle Williams and especially Christopher Plummer. I'd say it's worth a watch.

It's a trash book. I have one more week to read it before it's due, but I might just return it to the library tomorrow. I hate not finishing books but don't know how much more of its wankery I can stomach.
Okay then. Hush Han.

We got rid of it and replaced it with Doctor Who, because...well, Affleck's kinda been in the news recently.
