They aren't the biggest studio for this year or last year. When they do win it's because they release double the amount of movies. So what? They should be blamed for actually releasing original content and not relying only on their franchises (also, if you'd take a look on BOM you'd see that bad years for Warners are the equivalent for an excellent year for any other studio.) As for not being on no. 1, no worries, they'll be back next year. Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

We'll see if they can compete with the biggest studios now that they have DCEU and Fantastic Beasts. Huh? They are the biggest studio. Like they win 2 out of every 3 years. Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

Exactly. Next year they've got LEGEND OF TARZAN and KING ARTHUR, so who'll be laughing then? [emoji185] I actually think Tarzan will do well at the BO. As for Arthur, we have nothing yet to judge it from. Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

Yeah. And LOTR made 100m back in the day. And then TH barely managed 20m. The point is SW making 80m again I think would be a miraculous win. Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

The OW cant come soon enough. Swear to God, if any one of you that predict these insane numers flip when this makes way less and says it's perfectly understandable I'm gonna be mad. This wont have the biggest OD, OW, midnight or DOM or OS or WW run. Mark my words.

Under AOU? You haven't been following box office long, have you? Wow, your condescending tone really makes you seem right... No worries friend, I dont hold grudges against fanboys who overpredict their movies. It's understandable.

You think this won't beat Avengers' OW? That's adorable. It might not even be in Top 3 OW's. [emoji23]

Lol at the 90% rate of 200m+ predictions. The meltdowns will be epic. Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

OW - 180M DOM - 595M WW - 1.45B

Nice. I want Fantastic Beasts do dominate 2016. Bodes well for it.[emoji2] Trimis de pe al meu SM-J100H folosind Tapatalk

At this point I think it is bound to happen for some people. The hype is just too high. I love JJ's Star Trek. If SW is able to come anywhere close to that I'll be thrilled. But some folks want way more than that.

Well, tracking has just been shit lately, from this to HG to Spectre. I only expect that to continue with SW, BvS and Civil War.

Huh? Man, just take a good look on the BOM studio section. Considering the fact they had none of their major franchises, they had an unbelievable year. With Creed and In The Heart of the Sea they will likely close the year with almost 1.7B. That is bigger than any year Disney ever had, except for 2013 and 2015, also bigger than any Universal year, except for 2015, bigger than any Fox year, except for 2014, bigger than any Paramount year, except for 2011, bigger than any Sony year, except for 2006. The fact that they had no massive hit is irrelevant. They are simply in a league of their own. Just consider that an average year total for the Warners (1.7B) is a fantastic year total for any other studio.

900m OS. Mark my words. It will happen. This will be hyped to obscene levels.

I don't think he's kidding. Just look at the Chastain one. Sometimes I really wonder who the fuck approves this. I mean, these movies cost 100m+ to produce. You'd think they would hire someone who has even the slightest idea about what looks good and what does not.

The official thread for news, forecasts and data regarding the Romanian box office.

WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE First of all: it's good to be back. Second: we just had a great weekend, boosted by decent newcomers and some great holds. - Spectre maintained it's position at the top in it's second outing by sliding 41% and reaching a huge 210.106 admissions and $987k. While that's a steeper drop than 'Skyfall's, it's weekdays were stronger, so the gap between them actually increased. 'Spectre' will have no problem topping 'Skyfall's $1.54m and depending on how it will be hit by the last 'Hunger Games' movie next weekend (it's last major competitor till 'Star Wars'), it might end up over $1.8m (Top 10 All Time seems like a possibility). - In second, Hotel Transylvania 2 had another incredible hold (-22%). After 3 weeks in play (including the 3rd biggest opening weekend for an animation ever), it reached a mighty sum of $858k and it will have no problem clearing $1m (easily the highest grossing animation of the year, aside from 'Minions', of course, which is the 8th highest grossing movie of ever in Romania) . - Snow Queen opened in third with a bigger-than-expected 27.843 adm and $129k. That is very good for an unknown (and probably cheap) animation and with the Christmas season up ahead it should end up doing decent business. - In fourth, Goosebumps debuted with an ok 22.010 adm and $114k and if the WOM is good, as it appears to be, it might get close to $400k by the end of it's run. - The Last Witch Hunter continues it's strong run, easing a measly 16% and reaching $706k. By the looks of it, it should near $900k by the end of it's run. A great and expected result (this type of movies, medieval fantasy, is probably the strongest genre in this market and this year we had very few titles like that). - The Martian dipped only 19% and the total is now $1.11m. It already beat 'Gravity', even though it has no chance of coming close to 'Interstellar's $1.66m. Still, the yearly fall sci-fi blockbuster tradition continues. - Burnt eased just 11% in it's 4th weekend and the cume is $259k. - Legend actually increased 2% in it's 5th outing and is now at a very good $420k. - The Intern also increased by 9% and total is $454k. - And after 9 weeks, Everest is ready to leave the Top 10. It fell 23% for an amazing cume of $850k. TOP 10 Next week's openers: - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 - By the Sea - Papa ou maman - Le tout nouveau testament Last year, the previous installment of the 'Hunger Games' franchise opened with around 63k admissions. While I don't think the last entry will be able to break the 100.000k adm border, even with the finale factor, a debut in the 80.000 adm area seems likely. As for the other three titles, I don't see any of them over 10.000 adm. 'By the Sea' may have a chance, but for now I doubt it. 2015 TOP 10 *The bolded titles are still in theatres

I like pretty much anything space related. Loved Interstellar and found Gravity ok-ish.

Really, really enjoyed this. I liked the second book less than the first one so I had doubts, but I ended up liking this better than the first movie. Great acting and some insane VFX considering the budget. A

Ah, this made my day. Hope Bay sticks around for all of them.

Ok, so ended up seeing Maze Runner 2 instead of The Martian because we got at the theatre too late and our booking was gone. But it was for the best. Everyone seemed to enjoy the movie (I liked it more than the first one and much more than the book) and our showing was surprisingly full.

In about 3 hrs I'll see The Martian. Better be good. I hyped up my friends for it a lot

Pretty great weekend for returning to the forums Seen a hell lot of promotion for The Martian around here so I'll probably see it soon.

Yeah, Adele still has the best Bond theme. Pretty disappointing.
