Interesting.....

It is not a terrible idea. It's just that the original anime character is so darkly contemplative, lotsa Blade Runner-esque soul-searching. But bottom line: The reason why GiTS is opening in the 20s instead of high 30s is not because of Scarlett, the setting, the ethnic issues etc, it is just Hollywood has already remade GitS with tons of mecha anime mixed in with HK martial-arts with far more success : The Matrix Trilogy.

$500M? I don't think it will surpass F7 total gross of $390M

China box office take $103.9M Mojo Kong's International page is not updated

When is live-action FROZEN going to be greenlit? Shooting in Iceland? Snow White live-action? Peter Pan? Bambi? Dumbo? Aristocats? Lady & the Tramp? Disney could be doing this till 2030!!!

No, what i meant: final tally $200M, surely it's locked.

US$200M is locked? I think so

Emma is too fragile to play Batgirl.

Winstead has the body but personality may not be so suited to cosplay

How about this guy?

Zemeckis is only after safe family dramas or prestige movies.

Mann is one of the few filmmakers in Hollywood who needs to get offered projects, no doubt about that. But Mann only works on story that can provide him with a basis for his moody characters and atmospheres. Mission movies are about plot, not contemplative dramas. Mission is all procedurial. I could be wrong of course.

Mann doing a Mission movie is like asking Scorsese to do a superhero movie.

That Dog just keeps on keeping on

Harris & Ferguson are back Looks like a sequel

Sorry, a bit of a brain fart there. There is no way Kong could overwhelm B&B

My guess too. Were it not for the crowded marketplace with overlapping demographics, Kong would have beaten the other beasts (Wolvie & that other Royal Beast) and do closer to $180M or even $190M.

But waitaminute, 2016 has 5 100M grossers before summer : Kungfu Panda 3, Deadpool, Zootopia, Jungle Book, BvS And 2015 has 7 before summer. Won't that be the record holder?

Lego Movie $257M + Batman $218M (Mojo average of all Batman movies) = $300M possibility

Told everyone...

Why Wick 2 is cancelled? Too violent?

Jungle Book is practically a CGI fest, an animated feature. Lion King is even more so then.
