    I bet Disney gonna be pissed when Tarzan bombs this summer, because they ll have to wait another decade to do their version. WB is practically trolling them with their fairy tale megabombs.

    Well Disney's doing a Peter Pan live-action movie despite Pan bombing, so...

     

    Also, count me in on the Mulan train. It would be pretty killer in live-action, if it's done right. Just get Jamie Chung, and I'm there!

    Hello guys. Joined today because I am super hyped for Jungle Book. Disney just keeps bringing them. I honestly only follow box office for their incredible movies. 

     

    Randy Savage is better.

    Come on, that's just too low.

     

    You haven't seen the freaking movie and yet you predict it on the lowest degree??

     

    I don't buy the "Oh, but Zootopia will make KFP3 gross lower, because that's Disney" crap. I just don't!

     

    Both movies will be big hits.....but let's not overfavor that movie and underline this one. Be more realistic than this.

    I'm sorry, when was $135M a bad thing? Is it a fantastic number? No. Do I completely agree with Han? No, as domestic-wise, I feel a couple extra million can be added in, due to an entire month to its own with zilch family competition. But that's not a bad number at all. It's only just below the production budget, and with $545M WW, that's 3.75 times the budget, which even including marketing means that it made a pretty hefty profit. So why are you getting on him for predicting something that is both logical and still profitable for the studio?

    I don't get what goes through studio heads minds. Out of all the games they could adapt to a movie and they pick this? With Warcraft due this year too, I guess video game adaptations will remain cursed for a least a few more years.

    What exactly is wrong with Assassin's Creed? I agree that maybe it should have come out a couple years earlier when the games were actually good, but it's still really popular. It's sold over 73 million copies, and the overall concept has potential for a movie, and I think if marketed right, it could seem interesting to the general public. Really, the issue I have is with the scheduling. Why have it premiere a few days after Rogue One?

  5. I don't know if this has been quoted yet, but this jab at Dirty Grandpa from Deadline made me laugh:

    Quote

    Of the newcomers, Lionsgate and Bill Block Media’s R-rated comedy Dirty Grandpa is in line for the No. 4 spot although it’s being hammered by the critics,including by our own Pete Hammond who called it “stupefyingly awful.” Audiences found it funnier than most critics by giving it a B CinemaScore. Could have something to do with the fact that the average reading level of adults in the U.S. is 7th or 8th grade.
