  1. I think its going to be close between DOFP and Mal. But something gonna break out and gross over 250M. I think TF4 is the only one left and it will probably do it. Apes could go either way though based on this summer run I dont see it gross that much. It will probably do between 150-200M. Otherwise I dont see anything grossing even 200M

    Although I think it's unlikely, it's certainly possible that GOTG breaks out big and passes that mark. Otherwise, I think Apes should do it because July is pretty empty.

  2. Take out Godzilla and we may have a deal.

    I know many people didn't like it but I really enjoyed it. For me the eerie atmosphere and the tension really worked great and the fight scenes were breathtaking (especially the final fight). Also, Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe were awesome. I do agree on ATJ being a weak lead and Godzilla not getting enough screentime.

     

    Maybe I should also say that due to my home being Germany I haven't seen HTTYD 2 and 22 Jump Street yet because they aren´t getting released here until late July (damn you World Cup). :angry:

  3. I just realised that besides Shrek, only three Dreamworks Animation films ever passed $200 million domestically: KFP, HTTYD and Mad 3. They are really in need for a big franchise, but I wonder what they have to do to reach that goal. Both KFP and especially HTTYD were extremely well-received and yet their sequels still decreased (or stayed flat depending on HTTYD 2's legs).

  4. Yeah, tentpoles didn't even exist then. Give me a fucking break.These days the OS markets are much bigger, especially China, compared to 10 years ago, let alone 15 or 20. Overall market expansion more than makes up for a more busy slate.It's simple - the movie failed to deliver fucking Godzilla. The marketing was misleading, thus huge opening, bad legs and disappointed moviegoers.

    I think they were in a bit of a dilemma with Godzilla. If they would have shown the "real" movie (Bryan Cranston being gone after 30 minutes, ATJ as the lead and more Godzilla) the movie probably would have had a smaller opening but better legs. In the end it probably would have made about the same anyway, give or take $10-15 million.

  5. Thank you all very much for the nice welcome. :)  I really hope Dragon 2 passes $200m. I haven't seen it yet (doesn't get released here until July 24th) but I loved the first one and from what I've been hearing, Dragon 2 seems to be on par with the first one. Also, pretty good week-to-week holds for EoT, DOFP and Maleficent.

  6. Hello guys! I have been following this site for about a year now and now I've finally decided to register. Although I am very interested in box office, I don't consider myself an expert so don't be mad at me if I make stupid predictions or such. :D I'm not sure how much I will post here but I hope it's going to be fun. :)

     

    Talking about the numbers, does HTTYD2 still have a chance at $200m domestically?
