    Yeah, but... does anything have breakout potential? The Girl On The Train was the one thing people were pointing to the most when the discussion headed towards "October breakouts", and now, not so much. If it finishes w/80-90M, it'll have done well for itself (under Gone Girl is a lock at this point). Besides that, what else you got? Jack Reacher? Ehh, I see no buzz for it, with or without Cruise. 20M OW, 25 tops. The Accountant is the only one I see legit breakout potential, tbh. Inferno could do ok on OW and then sink like a rock, simply thanks to Tom Hanks' momentum coming off Sully. I'd love for Moonlight to do well, but hardly.

     

    What I find funny is how, since 2013, the big sci-fi blockbusters of the fall have all come out in either October of the odd years (Gravity in 2013, Martian last year, Blade Runner next year), and in the pair years, November is where they fall (Interstellar in 2014, Arrival this year), leaving October to major novel adaptations instead (Gone Girl and TGOTT). That means Arrival under 200M and BR over 200M is confirmed :ph34r:

    I don't think Inferno has a decent shot of breaking out per se, but I believe it will do better than what a lot of the forum thinks. It's still an incredibly popular book, and Hanks has a strong audience of followers. It has even more chance of doing better now that every other adult-skewing movie minus Sully has underperformed. It won't do phenomenal, but I think it'll do above $90M, and there's a chance that it could do above $100M.

    I agree with this.  Although, September and October rarely have Youth skewing movies, as it's not an overly popular time for that age group to go see movies.

     

    What I think could really blow up is Fantastic Beasts.  Harry Potter is still very relevant in pop-culture and I could see a 100m+ OW and 300m+ DOM.

    Why that's very interesting *cough*Go to my club*cough*
