While of course it's important to give credit to the other distributors and companies for their SH movies, it's honestly pretty impressive what Marvel Studios has done this year. Within just one year, they've managed to release three $300M domestic grossers, all from different "franchises." (I know the MCU technically counts as a franchise, but...y'know what I mean.) Has any other studio managed to pull three $300M domestic grosses in just one year?

I already admitted and made a club about how I think Jumanji will underperform for many reasons (family competition, PG-13 rating, unpopular brand, mediocre views and lack of awareness for its second trailer), and while none of these are as bold as that, these are just a few of the things I'm going bold on next year: -The 15:17 to Paris hasn't gotten a lot of $100M predictions yet, but I feel it has an easy shot to cross the mark domestically. While Act of Valor beat the movie to the punch in terms of casting actual soldiers to play soldiers, this has a true-story angle, so having the actors reeenact the events is something that can be easily marketable to the more patriotic Americans. Add on Clint Eastwood fresh off of two hits and an adult counterprogrammer for February, and I think the film will be another solid hit in Eastwood's repertoire. -The Incredibles 2 is something people are being way too high on. For comparison's sake, Finding Nemo was a cultural phenomenon that had unbelievable legs and was one of the biggest-selling DVDs of all time, making it one of those movies every kid has seen. Incredibles isn't up to that level, in spite of the insane Internet hype for the film. It'll still do very well, and I wouldn't be shocked if it hit $400M like many people here believe, but I feel Inside Out numbers are more likely for the film, which isn't bad in the slightest.

I'd also argue Christmas with the Kranks is up there. That film's creepy conformist message still gets under my skin.

How can this place continue to forget about this upcoming mastahpiece?

All teenagers act like goofy idiots on the Internet. No exceptions.

For the record, it's pleasant to see the film do so well, but WOM has me a touch worried it will cross the $100M mark (RT's audience score's at 62%), so it's nothing I can get super excited about.

What am I, chopped liver?

Welp, the meltdowns should be fun.

Having you as a mod was the greatest decision the BOT crew ever made.

For the record, you completely turned me off of everything and anything Dane DeHann related.

This is cute. Also @Squadron Leader Tele @CJohn @Christmas baumer Could one of y'all move this to the main thread?

I don't even think Goosebumps 2 is even happening. Jack Black's still in negotations with his pay, while Sony wants to keep the budget down. And since the first movie wasn't that big of a hit to begin with, it seems like a movie that will be quietly canceled.

I’m seeing double here. 4 Gibsons!!

You’re going to hell for posting that.

They didn't even bother. The end of the episode was just "Daddy's Home 2, Thelma, and some other movie also come out this weekend" without a single mention of it or any of the other movies' RT score. Sad!

Daddy's Home 2 248 2147 11.55% Orient Express 264 1269 20.80% Here's what the weekend including Thursday looks like. Again, don't understand why Daddy's Home has more timeslots, since Orient Express eclipses it on all days except Sunday. I'll probably do the other upcoming movies tomorrow.

I used to quote that episode so many times with my brother when we were younger. This Twitter thread is honestly one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen, especially when it comes to the feet stuff.

I personally can’t wait to see him in Secret Life of Pets 2.

I’d also add Denzel to the list.
