    Cleopatra almost bankrupted Fox which was saved a few years later by The Sound of Music being a huge successful. Had they split into two movies, it would been profitable. The original sets and costumes in England were reused for Carry On Cleo which is why that film looked like it cost more than it actually did.

    If Ninjago did HT numbers, they'd be more than thrilled. Even Cloudy 1 or 2 numbers would be fine.

    I doubt it'll hit $50m although if it did, it would claim the September record. I'm thinking $35-40m at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher.

    Ready Player One could break out but I think we'll need a trailer first. It has a plum release date and while Spielberg hasn't had a huge hit since War of the Worlds and Crystal Skull, the subject matter is ready made for a blockbuster. I imagine WB will be start promoting from Comic Con onwards.

    While $53m is a tad underwhelming, it's still a win for WAG, they've achieved an OW which most studios would be happy with for an animated film and with the strong reviews, it's going to have good if not great legs. WAG is still establishing themselves and the goodwill from Lego Batman will no doubt boost Ninjago, Smallfoot and perhaps Scooby Doo.

    I think $400-410m WW is doable, maybe $420m.
  7. Jonwo
    Big increase for Lego Batman and it got to number 1, that numbers is only slightly lower than The Lego Movie's OW Sing is holding up well although I think Lego Batman has dented it since its drops are high compared to SLOP which might make £30m tricky.

    I'll be curious to see the top 10 cinemas. I won't be surprised if Vue Westfield London has two entries with Fifty Shades and Lego Batman

    Dory numbers minimum, if it's really good then $500-520m
  10. Jonwo
    I doubt it'll Lego Movie numbers since it's being released in September or October. HT1 or 2 numbers would be more than satisfactory

    I imagine it's staying in 2018 but a successful Scooby Doo film would be a great start and will lead to other Hanna Barbera films

    I think one thing SCOOB has going for it is that WB is going to promoting it a lot because the year after is Scooby Doo's 50th anniversary so a new movie will be the start of what will likely be a bonanza year for the franchise. If I was WB, I might be tempted to move to 2019.

    I think RPO will be a hit but $90m might be too high, I'm thinking $70-75/$240-250m total. SCOOB I'm not sure myself but I'm thinking $40-45m/$145-150m, Smallfoot I'm thinking the same maybe a tad higher if it move.

    I won't be surprised if Ready Player One is a hit and maybe crack the top ten

    WOM must have spread to how good it is.

    Disney likely won't budge from Thanksgiving, the two can co-exist though Grinch will sink once Christmas is done but will have made enough before then. I wouldn't be surprised if it has a huge domestic but an average OS total as Dr Seuss isn't that popular. The original Grinch only made $85m OS compared to the $260m it made domestic.
  17. Jonwo
    I doubt HT3 will but Animated Spider-Man could do it.
  18. Jonwo
    Blue Sky have got close to $200m, I would say the OS numbers of the Ice Age films more than makes up for they haven't had a huge domestic hit. SPA is more mixed, I liked Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2 were decent but they do seem a bit directionless. If it wasn't for Smurfs, Cloudy and HT, they would closed a long time ago
  19. Jonwo
    DWA really fell from grace, they were top tier at one point and perhaps Blue Sky although outside of Ice Age and Rio didn't produce huge hits.
  20. Jonwo
    There's really too many great gags to list.
  21. Jonwo
    I lost it at Batnipples and Batman '66.
  22. Jonwo
    Lego Batman's numbers include last week's previews so its real OW is just over £5m. Still impressive, I imagine LB had a low Friday but a huge Saturday and Sunday and 50 Shades had a high Friday but fell on Saturday and Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if Lego Batman gets number 1 next week, it won't stay flat or increase like The Lego Movie did but a small drop wouldn't surprise me.
  23. Jonwo
    $35-40m seems about right for Ninjago, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher. Smallfoot is difficult to predict because we've seen no footage yet but I think it needs to move away from a packed February, SCOOB I think will move from September, I don't see $50m for it but $35-45m range wouldn't surprise me. WAG is building a solid foundation for their films and I wouldn't be surprised if their films start to outgross the likes of Blue Sky, SPA, maybe even DWA
  24. Jonwo
    WAG isn't at that level yet, both WDAS and Illumination took time to get that level i think Lego Batman will do over $400m WW, the OS of the first Lego Movie was $211m and I imagine it'll do more
  25. Jonwo
    WAG are already doing better than SPA and at $80m budget, the film is going to be profitable for WB. I imagine they'll be happy with $40-50m OW for future films
