  1. Oh...boy. How do i follow the yuan currency numbers on these flicks? Also, how much money does these films translate in U.S dollars?
  2. I know.... But quality-wise...it would still be bashed by critics if they stick with Bay.
  3. Well..it's best for Bay, not to direct TF5. At least Paramount could find a director who knows about how to make the writing and script better in quality. You know....improve the quality. Cause again..its the Bayhem formula that makes his movies bad and hated. I know which director would be a better replacement. J.J Abrams...or Francis Lawrence. At least they know when to put a good focus on the script.
  4. Actually...I really loved the Hobbit trilogy. Yes...they may not be as a amazing as LOTR trilogy..but I could get invested with the story and characters in this. Yeah..I can see why the films didn't do anywhere as huge as many expected....particularly AUJ. Many people thought back in 2012 that Hobbit: AUJ was gonna be the biggest blockbuster in the holiday season that year. Well...it was one of the biggest..but not THE biggest. That movie turned out to be James Bond's Skyfall. Skyfall: $304M DOM & $1.108B WW > Hobbit: AUJ: $303M DOM & 1.017B WW. Who would have thought that a James Bond film would outgross a Middle-Earth film in all regions? Bond kicked AUJ's ass. Then there's Hobbit: DOS, which came out against HG:CF & Frozen. While DOS beat CF WW-wise...Frozen came out nowhere and beat DOS. Frozen: $400M DOM & $1.274B WW > Hobbit: DOS: $258M DOM & $960M WW. And then finally there's Hobbit: BOTFA, which we all thought was going to do $1B WW.....but then in January...that's where the exchange rates started to kick in..lowering its $1B chances. So because of that....Hobbit 3 only ended with $955M WW..despite increasing from China. Maybe..WB/NL will find a way to re-release DOS and BOTFA back in theaters....if only because they want these movies to get to $1B WW...like we thought they were going to before their releases.
  5. KFP3 is getting to $1B. No doubt about it. MAD4 could actually have a considerate increase in China. Penguins of Madagascar made $40M over there. HTTYD3 has an easy chance to outgross HTTYD2 WW. Cause by the time we get to 2018, China's markets would be much bigger and stronger by then. I think the goodwill and great WOM from Dragon 2 will have families, kids and fans be pumped up for the third one. The one smart thing they should do is to move it in January.. cause it's a more safer month rather than going in the crowded and competitive summer. But...has anyone mentioned The Croods 2? I mean the first one made $587M WW, two years ago..and the $63M came from China. That one could also increase.
  6. Well...about the year gap between sequels.....MAD3 had a 4 year gap from MAD2 and it didn't affect that film. Even the 5 year gap between MI3 and MI4..(although that franchise is a different genre)..did that stop MI4 of making $209M DOM? No..since that film had great WOM and legs. I think there's so much room for KFP3 to make more than KFP2.
  7. I would really love to see Disney do 2D animated movies to more children's fairy-tales like "Red Riding Hood" & "Hansel & Gretel". I miss 2D animation.
  8. Ah..Titanic. One of the most popular blockbusters of all times. A+ It's a really tragic but a warming film with so much heart and depth. Loved Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in this.
  9. Wow! Nearly $1.328B! Only $13M left to top HP:DH2 WW. And then it's celebration.
  10. Agree. I would also take the underrated Disney films over Frozen. Films like The Rescuers, Oliver & Company, Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, The Emperor's New Groove, etc... All those films over Frozen. And i wished Disney would have made a 2D animated "Snow Queen" adaptation back in the 90's.
  11. Agree. He is not that bad either... I mean at least he does help other characters as well in SW:TPM.
  12. It might sound insane....but Frozen ain't as timeless as the other Disney films in the 80's, the 90's and the 2000's. Also...DM2 & MU > Frozen. Not that i hate Frozen. I don't...since i do like it...but the other 2 films are more fun in my opinion.
  13. Unless AOU gets re-released in some OS countries...then they could say "AOU has beaten HP:DH2!" Wonder why they aren't re-releasing Marvel movies to theaters again?
  14. I have to wonder....which one of these "The Fast and the Furious" celebrities has the bigger box office draw to help the series?
  15. Japanese audience are sometimes weird with their tastes on Hollywood blockbusters nowadays.
  16. Oh boy.....Japanese Box office is really unpredictable for me to exactly guess. Either it's going to great or do horrible.....and sadly it's mostly the latter. I hope AOU does big business in Japan...but we can't say exactly how much.
  17. I think they already learned from Shrek the Third that they will make the third parters actually great threequels this time. MAD3 for example.
  18. Well...the thing is...it's mostly because they got mixed to negative reception.... But Madagascar 3 was not like those third installments. And it made $216M. Iron Man 3 also had an increase rather than a drop. (Granted it was the TA effect) But still, IM3 made $409M. Ice Age 3 didn't drop either from IA2. And it still made $196M. Toy Story 3 increased considerably. It made $415M. So yeah....not ALL third installments drop. Probably some of them...but not all of them.
  19. SA saw an estimate increase with actuals. Dwayne Johnson owns!
  20. Well..if it turns out to be just okay (a bit inferior to the first one)...then a minor drop would be reasonable.
  21. Ah...Ted 2. Another one of Universal's heavy hitters. I could see this opening similarly to Hangover 2...since it is the only big comedy sequel in the summer for men. Not counting PP2, cause that's more for women. Around $70-$80M OW. And $225-$230M DOM. WW-wise? Well..the first one made nearly $550M. So since its a sequel...I could see this one do over $600M WW. Quality-wise....it's a harder call. It could go either way. Either it's going to be an just okay to good sequel and still do pretty well...or is it their "22 Jump Street"...the sequel that could be better than its predecessor. I dunno. Universal is kicking ass this summer with their sequels.
