Why?
2 year release date gap sweet spot. The best time to release a sequel is generally 2 years after the first movie. If it had been released in 2011, a lot of people (especially in overseas markets) would be more interested. In the meantime we have gotten other franchises to care about. People went to Avatar because it was supposed to be an incredible cinematic experience, in the meantime we have had movies like Inception, Gravity and Interstellar to do that for us. And at last, there is the decline in interest in 3D. Avatar started a 3D hype, but it's been on a decline since every major movie gets a 3D release next to its normal release.

This would actually leave more spots in other categories for other movies. Nightcrawler getting a best screenplay nod is pretty rare. Most major categories get filled with best picture normally.

Yeah, but that was a single movie. A great movie, true, but the entire history we knew of these characters was centered around that.
Toy Story 4 is including established characters from three prior movies, throwing out some of the primary relationship building established, going through a tone change, and being a tacked-on afterthought to a perfectly-ended trilogy.
I'm not saying this will be as great as Wall-E. I'm saying that making a romantic comedy is not per se a bad thing.
Toy Story 4 could still go in a lot of directions as we basically only know it's going to be a rom-com. To say this is just an afterthought to a perfect trilogy is beyond ridiculous. Toy Story 2 was made because A Bug's Life wasn't as succesful as hoped. Toy Story 3 was made because money. It's not like they wrote out the story of this trilogy before. Especially Toy Story 3. That movie, while it was good, was made of afterthoughts.
Who says TS4 won't become a prequel. Who says it will stray away from the first 3 movies as you are suggesting. Calm the beans, this movie will be fine.

I think this franchise is not big enough to handle the drop of a two-movie split for the last book. Scorch Trials will need to build a lot on the goodwill / momentum that the Maze Runner has. A two-movie split would likely cause to lose a lot of momentum that the final movie won't even outgross the first movie. In the end, that would still be a bit profitable, but for the long-run of their franchise (toys, diaries, bed covers) it would not be a smart move.

Wall-E was a romantic comedy and that turned out fine.

It's incomparable to T1 and T2's gap. We live in an era that's fueled by non-stop information needs. Humans constantly need new information and 7 years is longer now than it was in the 80s/90s. Avatar's hype died, just like Frozen's hype will die at some point. That doesn't mean the movie won't be liked anymore, it just means that the GA are not as interested anymore as they have probably moved on to the next hype.
Not saying Avatar 2 won't make money as it certainly will get some interest as 'the sequel to the world's highest grosser of all time'. It probably won't make nearly as much as it would have if it were released in 2011.

After seeing 50sog yesterday, I'm pretty confident that I'm not going to watch the next one if James writes it. Kelly Marcel did a wonderful job at adapting that piece of crap book to a somewhat strong story.

3 times 50 points. I bet Chappie ends up under 50m.

Europe is old-fashioned in sex so women are excited about this [crap] movie and as we can see Asia has more eventful sexual life xD
That's a horrible generalization. Europe is not at all old-fashioned in sex. France gave this movie a 12+ rating. In the Netherlands we are allowed to show breasts on TV (don't know this for other countries). While eastern-europe indeed is rather old-fashioned; western europe is way more modern than the USA in therms of openness about sex.

While I don't find Brand Routh's character to be fitting in Arrow, this is a horrible idea.

This obviously wouldn't be right now, but in about 10 years' time, I'd like to see Asa Butterfield as Paul McCartney in a Beatles biopic. He's already starting to look like him...
That's pretty spot on. Damn.

This whole season 7 felt like a hommage to the series. I guess this finale was great. The actual series finale (s06e21/22) was much better though.
-
Sounds quite interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing Linklater take on some more conventional type of movie.

I really dislike Ryan Gosling so I'd prefer a different actor for Walt Disney. Going with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (and some makeup) could never go wrong. I could also see Jon Hamm playing Walt. Edward Norton can't fail any role so I could see him playing Walt Disney as well, but they got to hurry because he's getting older.
More out of the box: Sam Rockwell and James McAvoy
I'd have this written by David Magee (Finding Neverland).-

Insurgent under 50m ow.... 100 points... 4 people
While it may not get to 54m again, I'm quite certain it can reach 50m at this point. I'll take it!

Slade was terrible in fighting against Thea. I'd understand him losing easily to Oliver who knows the island like his thumb. But Thea?!

The Incredibles. Don't want a 22 Jump street sequel anyway.
Foxcatcher or Whiplash?
-
My ranking of the BP nominees at this point:
1) Whiplash 10/10
2) Boyhood 10/10
3) American Sniper 8/10
4) Imitation Game 8/10
5) Theory of Everything 7,5/10
6) Grand Budapest Hotel 5,5/10
7) Selma 5/10
8) Birdman 4/10
Based on enjoyment, not on technical merits. -
Create a new one. I don't care about your comments on the ceremony, although I do care about your thoughts on the results.

I love that they have that 'razzie redeemer' award now.

And yet no one took either of our bets.
because everyone figured it would lower than that.
-
Less than 15 million is an awful bet? lol.
Yeah, it's got horrible reviews and comes 5 years after the first movie was just slightly above average received.

Pretty nicely put to words. I agree a lot with you on this.
