Oh I love it, but it's been a long time since I saw it. Best thing to do is get cider, make popcorn, time it to be in the middle of the night when family is out, and sing along having the time of my life. I love musicals.

Yeah, I mean, I have the blu ray so I will definitely watch it at some point. Although, I bought Moulin Rouge on blu-ray about a year ago and still haven't watched it.

Oh wow, I just watched the trailer and read a bit on Wikipedia. I like experimental films but that does sound like it could get a tad boring...

Ghost Protocol is a bit overrated imo. I love Tom Cruise but I don't think MI4 is as great as many people think. Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas?

I got that on blu-ray for xmas haha it's got fantastic reviews, is it really that bad?

No, no, that's actually really interesting. I had always ignored X-Men, just looked a bit boring to me, but if they actually have some depth then I might well watch them. Being in a minority group myself, I'm sure I can relate. Thanks! No one's ever really explained it like that to me, I just figured it was another franchise of action-superhero films that happened to have a good cast.

(and the looks )

I like Julianne Moore. Just not in that film.

Can't argue with JLaw being a great actor but Julianne Moore was shit in Mockingjay.

I'm mainly responsible for that haha

I'm not a MCU fangirl but GotG is a hundred times better in my opinion.

I've heard some people say that 50 Shades will perform like Fault in our Stars. LOL. It's gonna be funny to see how wrong they are. I'm not sure where my total 50SG prediction should lie, maybe 250M. I'm hopeful for that 100M OW though.

Your half-term argument makes no sense. Its US release date was one week after half-term - if they wanted to utilise that, then surely it would make more sense to release it a week and a half early in the UK, rather than 3 months later. I don't get the competition thing either. There was no more competition in the UK in November than there was in the US, and there's no less in February than there is in the US either (there's actually more, thanks to our friend Shaun). I also completely disagree that we should just trust that Disney knows best and is immune to criticism. That's just silly.

Yeah, if it ends with around 215M, I think it's done pretty well. I think the issue is a more general one - this year has been pretty void of huge hits, and every film that is big rather than huge reinforces that idea. And, of course, this is getting compared to Frozen, which is crazy.

I'm sure they're nothing like each other in reality, but the trailer and all the pictures/memes that people share of it just make it look like a movie about partying and doing stupid stuff - which isn't my sort of thing at all. If it ever comes to Netflix then I'll watch it, but otherwise I doubt I will see it any time soon. And my #1 movie is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a film which I just loved. It's beautiful and inspiring. It was such a pleasant viewing experience. I wasn't a big fan of Stiller beforehand, so I went in with fairly low expectations, and came out having had one of the best cinema experiences ever. Loved every second of it and I'm not ashamed, even if RT says it's rotten.

Heh, I'm always scared of saying my #1 of 2013 as people tend to ask if I have brain damage. It's been one year since it released and I still don't know what it's about. As far as I can tell it's just a 3-hour Hangover movie - i.e. a snorefest.

I did. From what I saw, I thought the split was fairly even in who thought it would improve and who thought it would decrease. OMG. Why do you keep saying it will "probably" do 300M?

I want to see what all the fuss is about with WoWS, but it looks so boring to me. :/

Sounds like it's saved as a weird filetype (e.g. not .jpg or .png). Find another image of the poster and see if it's better.

Strange, I thought Wreck-It Ralph was released in December in the UK, I remember seeing John C Reilly promoting it in December in an interview. Anyway, it's all pretty weird. Films always face competition, BH6 would have been up against the same things it was in the US. Don't you think the point of this forum is a little undermined if we were to simply say, "It was a hit, leave it at that, don't talk anymore"?

3 are locked for 300M. Most years have one big surprise hit, next year has a few films that should earn nearly $300M, I'm confident one will make it past 300. I think there'll be 4, 5 if lucky. Yep, very possible. Jurassic World has a very good shot at 300M and of Minions/Furious 7/Bond, one of them could manage it.

Sorry, should have clarified. I didn't mean the record will never be broken, but that the chance of 2015 breaking the record is nil. 2015 having 6 $300M films is never gonna happen.
