It'll probably finish with $160 million domestically. I'm rooting for this movie to win best picture, even though it wasn't my favorite film of the year. The beautiful visuals, powerful acting and intensity blown me away in the theater. If it wins, it'll probably be like Gladiator and Braveheart winning. My favorite film of the year is Inside Out and Mad Max (tie).

By flopping, I mean by producing disappointing box office results regardless of budget or marketing costs. It received wonderful reviews, but the public gave it little attention, thus it only grossed a small $25 million domestically. A similar type of film with a small budget, wonderful reviews and an unknown studio is District 9, which earned way more than Ex-Machina with $115 million domestically in 2009.

What I learned from 2015: Good reviewed films can flop too: Steve Jobs, Everest, The Walk, Crimson Peak, Ex-Machina Popular franchises/films can under-perform or flop too: Age of Ultron, Peanuts, The Good Dinosaur, Spectre, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Tomorrowland, Terminator Genisys, Ted 2, Fantastic 4, Poltergeist, Sinister 2, and Point Break.

This all started when Will Smith got snubbed by the Oscars. Will, with his wife and PR team practically stirred up this controversy about the lack of diversity at the Oscars for "revenge." Then, it got blown out of proportion by the media.

AGI was a producer on Birdman, so he also won the Oscar for Best Picture. Either way, he's not overdue in both categories.

This year is very hard to predict, so I'm going with the best reviewed film of the nominees which is Spotlight. Here's my breakdown of the strongest nominees to win best picture this year: The Revenant: By far the most ambitious film of the nominees, the filming was hectic, dangerous and really difficult, but they pulled it through. The 12 nominations and GG wins gives it a major boost. Nominated by all guilds, Bafta, and GG for best picture. The Big Short: It has great reviews and an excellent ensemble with A-list actors. Nominated by all guilds, Bafta, and GG for best picture. Starpower might carry it to bp with votes from the actors branch. Spotlight: It's well-made and has the best reviews. Nominated by all guilds, Bafta, and GG for best picture. Mad Max Fury Road: The best technical film of the year. This year's gravity maybe. The Martian: Managed to beat The Big Short, the frontrunner for best picture during the precursors, at the Golden Globes for musical/comedy. It's a crowd pleaser like Gladiator and pro-American like Argo, so these factors can boost its chances. It's the highest grosser among the nominees.

All the dumb Star Wars fanboys are begging China to gross $600 million, so their precious film can destroy Avatar worldwide. The weed is strong in them. Another question to ask is why would China's government let a foreign film dominate their film market, the domestic film industry is improving with domestic hits defeating their Hollywood rivals. The market is growing faster than expected which exceeded $6.5 billion this year, but with domestic films taking a larger share of the market. They would rather have their domestic films get rich, so one day a Chinese film company can rival Disney worldwide.

Since all Oscar contending films have been released, it's easier to see which films can get in by reviews and early precursor awards. Here is my updated list, it may seem too populist. Star Wars: TFA The Martian Inside Out Mad Max: Fury Road The Revenant Spotlight Brooklyn Room Carol Bridge of Spies

Wow, this has a potential of making $900 million+ domestically.
