http://deadline.com/2016/09/summer-box-office-cooled-2016-could-be-colder-2017-1201812031/
Deadline had analyst Doug Creutz talk about this summer and next summer, but here are the highlights:
-Rumors are that around 26 movies will get 2,500+ theaters for their OWs next year, below 2016, but above the historical average
-A lot of money losers will be on the schedule, since the number of action and animation films is at 17, much higher than the guideline rule of 9 action and animation movies being successful
-Disney's at medium risk, with GOTG 2 being big, but Cars 3 and Pirates 5 potentially decreasing from their predecessors
-Fox is at medium-high risk, as Captain Underpants will face big competition with Cars and Despicable Me, and Kingsman will face a ton of competition that could limit its potential
-Paramount's at low-medium risk, because WWZ2 and Transformers 5 are expected to do "reasonably well", but Baywatch could overperform due to it being a comedy alternative.
-Warner Bros. is at medium risk, as it has Wonder Woman, Dunkirk, Annabelle 2, and The House, but none of these are guaranteed to be in the summer's top 12, though Wonder Woman could break out.
-Nothing was said for Universal or Sony for some reason.

Wikipedia is really not reliable at all.
We re living it, right now, so all these paleontologists with their Phds got their dates wrong I don't know.

Premieres at the AFI Fest this November.

La La Land will probably be the only one nominated for BP. American Pastoral has a shot though, and I hope it does, going off of the trailer, and maybe Hacksaw Ridge has potential, but I feel Lionsgate will campaign harder for the first two mentioned.

492m and 213m (adjusted), that's why.
I just looked at Wikipedia, and the first movie did $300M WW in '77. How did I not know it was that big of a hit?

They made 3 Smokey and the Bandit movies? Why?

QuoteEven though Universal/DreamWorks’ The Girl on the Train boasts a social media universe of 29M and a viral rate of 10 to 1, many do expect this chick lit adaptation to post around $30M in its first weekend, despite some naysayers in distribution exclaiming, “It’s not Gone Girl”.
Looks like @ThatOneMorgan's curse might not work this time.

I don't get our obsession with budgets. Assuming we're interested in the movie in the first place, surely we want the best/most effort expended in making sure it's as good as they can get it, no?
I know we love playing with fantasy numbers to guess profitability, but sometimes I think we forget they're fantasy numbers.
Well with a lower budget, that means greater profitability and less of a chance of a movie to fail. A movie I like not failing = happier me.

Looks fantastic, as all A24 films tend to. Will this be the #OscarsSoWhite killer that The Birth Of A Nation was supposed to be (alongside Loving)?
I think it'll be Fences. It's based off of a Pulitzer winner, and it has Denzel and Viola. I do think Moonlight and Loving will get BP noms though.

If this gets great reviews, and subsequently great box office, I'll be so happy that Lego Movie wasn't a fluke. I like WAG's game plan of Looney Tunes-esque comedies, and I don't want to see just Lego movies and H-B movies as their entire slate.

Trailer's meh, but the Sundance and eventual TIFF praise will still keep me interested.

MAN THE PORTUGUESE PARAMOUNT FACEBOOK PAGE IS DESPERATE. Today they posted a Lin picture saying Are you ready for Justin Lin's new masterpiece? Beyond in theaters Thursday!. And I was like WHAT
At least Portugal's aware about the awesomeness of Lin da Gawd.

Could this movie win Best Original Song and steal Lin-Manuel Miranda's chance at an EGOT?

Welp, now I have to see Blair Witch Project now.
So I saw it. I'm a little wary about how this movie seems to have the witch do more stuff. I liked it more when the witch did very little, and only did the stick figures and the house, but I'm definitely still hyped for this.

I need this in my life now!

I'd say JCTJB can be used for emotions of shock or surprise.

He's like 90% of why I'm stanning for Rogue One.
The other 10% is reserved for Forest Whitaker's hairpiece of course.
For me:
50% The potential the Anthology series could bring to Star Wars and Hollywood
25% VADAH
25% Amazing and beautiful cast of diverse and unique characters, all of them either up-and-comers, or severely underrated actors.

Another reason to love Beyond.
John Cho/Sulu giving us that deserved Asian representation while other big franchises give no fucks.
Donnie Yen's gonna rock this December.
