  1. The Last Witch Hunter and Riddick didn't do great but didn't affect Fast. I guess Vin has to do one bad movie in the years that a Fast film is released.
  2. I'm thinking Lego Batman will have a $85-90m OW though $100m wouldn't be a surprise. It'll do much better than The Lego Movie OS although I'm not expecting a huge increase.
  3. Rogue One opened very well, it's still the second highest December opening of all time which is not to be sniffed at
  4. I wonder if La La Land will hit number 1 once it goes wide? I'm listening to the soundtrack and loving it so far, it doesn't come out in the U.K. until January which is annoying
  5. Buying Lucasfilm and Marvel helped Disney because their live action slate apart from Pirates wasn't up to much. Owning your IP rather than licensing it makes more money for the bottom line since you keep all the profits
  6. Closer to $300m but it wouldn't surprise if it just misses it. OS I'm thinking $300-350m since it'll do well in some markets but not others
  7. La La Land's going to be Lionsgate and Summit's most successful film in a while both commercially and awards wise.
  8. Amazon probably won't start streaming it until late March anyway, they're not like Netflix who don't opt for a theatrical release
  9. Amazon Studios have made some great acquisitions with Manchester by the Sea, Love and Friendship, Paterson etc they're one to look out for along with A24
  10. I'm curious about how Sing does because I'm thinking it'll be successful domestically but not so well OS similar to The Lego Movie and The Lorax.
  11. It was doomed when it was originally scheduled for March.
  12. I could see WB/DC putting a film in December but I think Disney will keep Marvel for Spring/Summer/November and Star Wars for May and December.
  13. Ghost Protocol did $15m on its limited release, enough for third place, it was risky putting it in December but it did pay off beating Sherlock Holmes domestically and internationally. I wonder if Disney or WB would put a superhero film in December? The last time we've had a superhero film that broke out big in December was Superman just under 40 years ago.
  14. It'll be interesting that Moana does in Germany, I could see it eating into Sing's legs
  15. I find Illumination hit and miss but I do think the review of Sing above does raise some good points about the studio's approach to their films.
  16. Itll still be the second highest OW of December and it still has Christmas holidays coming up.
  17. It can still get to £55-60m because of Christmas holidays, I don't see huge drops happening until Mid January £17m in December is still fantastic, only TFA has done better and that was an anomaly in terms of December openings
  18. To be fair, TFA being the first Star Wars in a decade plus the original characters returning meant it was always going to be huge, Rogue One was never going to match that, it'll still be the biggest OW of the year and likely the biggest film of 2016
  19. £4.8-4.9m would still be brilliant for Rogue One's OD and with Christmas coming up it'll have great weekdays
  20. Decent trailer, good that the Minions were kept to a minimum although I suspect they'll feature more in later trailers
  21. If it happens, they might decided to keep as a play
  22. Illumination don't have a hope at winning at the Oscars against much stronger competition from Zootopia, Moana, Your Name etc
  23. That seems the most plausible reason, it's interesting that the UK doesn't use the US title as its Fast and Furious 8 in the U.K but they've done that since Fast and Furious 5
  24. Bet Mirren is either Mama Shaw or the villain for Fast 9 and she just cameos in this one.
  25. Not just 3D but also PLFs like IMAX, 4DX etc we've seen an increase in the number of IMAX screens which likely had contributed to the increase in the average
