    October 12th - I didn't think Black was confirmed yet? Probably wise to lock him in now after Jumanji.

     

    www.deadline.com/2017/12/jack-black-goosebumps-2-alpha-new-release-dates-1202233292/

    The article says "starring Jack Black" so I think he's coming back. Honestly, I'm confused as to why Sony would get rid of him in the sequel to begin with.

  2. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/12/28/avengers-infinity-war-black-panther-lead-fandangos-most-anticipated-poll-2018/985485001/

     

    I didn't know where else to put this, but considering it's about 2018, might as well put it here.

     

    Anyways, Fandango just released their Top 10 Most Anticipated polls again. As always, it's important to understand these need to be taken with a grain of salt and don't automatically gurantee a movie will be a hit or a bomb, especially as there are dozens of films out that don't have any marketing yet to excite moviegoers. Also, remember that Zoolander 2 was #9 in the 2016 list. Hopefully, Fandango will do what they did last year and give us the Top 30.

     

    Anyways:

    1. Untitled Cloverfield movie

    5. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation

     

     

    Quick thoughts:

    -A Wrinkle in Time appearing in the top 10 could be because it already has marketing, but the fact it beat out films like Ant-Man and Ready Player One seems relatively impressive.

    -LOL at Cloverfield being the most anticipated horror film. Hey Paramount, I think you should start your marketing now. Also, New Mutants not making the top 5 is disconcerting. Unless Fandango put it in the superhero category instead of horror, so...

    -The lack of representation of RPO outside of Tye Sheridan and Olivia Cooke is a touch disconcerting.

    -I know it's because people were introduced to him in the first film, but Depp over Jordan, Chastain, and Castle is just...ew. (dcasey, don't you even dare try to make a flame war here)

     

    But again, take all of this with all of the grains of salt in the world.

    Why do you people think, that Ready Player One (a movie, that filled with cultural references and easter eggs, that spans several decades of generations!) is not a lock for 100m yet? Lol Its like you can't see people going into the cinemas just to see Freddy Kruger, King Kong and Chuck The Doll and Iron giant while main character drives Delorian around! Don't be ridiculous! This thing isn't only making 100m, but it will open as big as your typical Star Wars saga movie, then it will do Avatar bussiness later on!

    As people know I was gone for several months.  Well I just finally noticed that Sad Ben is gone!


    Where the HELL is my Sad Ben, dammit! :rant:

     

    Yeah, yeah, so late to the party that I actually arrived at another one.  Long hair, don't care.

     

    ...

     

    ...

     

    If someone has Sad Ben stored as a gif that I can put on my imgur account, I'd appreciate it. :ph34r::lol:

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

    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. :ph34r:

    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

  9. 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.
