MovieMan89

Yeah, but don't you think that's kind of an issue? I mean BvS wasn't exactly a box office behemoth, so if JL isn't getting anywhere near the same hype that doesn't bode all that well. Could struggle to 300, which is bad for DCEU's Avengers film any way you spin it. Unless WW really is the new trend for DCEU and it has a not huge opening, but great legs.

Think a little more TDK, a little less Rogue Junk.

I'm legit not trying to start shit, but where is the hype for JL? I'm just not feeling it outside of the internet, and even in that area it seems a bit muted. We're like a month away, should be way more than it is imo.

It sounds like they upped the horror element this time, which could be perfect given the horror craze the box office is in this year.

I also got to thinking that Batman on his own may not be as big of a movie draw as it seems when you break it down. '89 and TDK both had the Joker, Nolan was a draw for TDKR at that point, BvS had Superman and Wonder Woman, and Forever had Jim Carrey at the peak of his box office draw power. So that leaves Returns, Begins, B&R, and LEGO Batman where it was basically just all on Batman with no additional big draw, and none of those movie's box office takes are all that huge.

I thought LEGO Batman would do anywhere from 300-450 lol. Though I still can't understand whatsoever why it didn't at least beat The LEGO Movie given that movie's good will, Batman's huge kid/teen/adult appeal, and the great critical reception LB got.

Most of them will be huge, but I could also see most of them underperforming the average predictions. New Mutants, Dark Phoenix, Venom, Animated Spiderman, and Aquaman are the ones in danger of poor performances if marketing/reviews don't go well. Their success hinges on that. Whereas the other 5 are pretty much locked to 200+ no matter what.

The multi isn't going to be that bad. 2.2x at worst, which would still be 500 if it pulls 225 on OW. Think it can match AOU's multi even with a massive OW as long as it delivers.

Anyone in here predict 400+ for WW? 500+ for BATB?

Agreed. That OW will hit 225m+ if marketing is on point. The hype will be massive. Maybe the multi sucks, but even if it does it will still hit 500.

The sorry state of the August releases when all I have to look forward to following this month at the BO is Wonder Woman. Ya know, that early June movie.

They should have taken that long running fan theroy that Winnie the Pooh is all about Christopher Robin being schizophrenic and the characters all representing a particular part of his mental illnesses and ran with it. Have it about him as an adult finally breaking down from all of it.

This was maybe the last summer where we might not have gotten a 400 grosser, but WW will make it happen now.

Kind of hilarious to talk about originals owning the summer in a box office sense when the top 8 are all third or further installments in a franchise.

Like I mentioned recently, I think Emoji actually had some potential to be a fun concept for an animated film in a Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs kind of way. And the opening in spite of the horrendous marketing and disastrous reviews show the premise had some actual appeal too. SPA just clearly were lazy in putting much of any thought into making a decent film.

I actually can't think of one possible worse casting choice than Kevin Hart for this role. Good job TWC.

The 4x multi may actually happen for WW.

You know the sad thing is I think there actually was some potential for a creative and entertaining animated film with the concept. Too bad the marketing and now early reviews are straight up poop.

65% drop coming for Apes it looks like with that Friday. Really horrible, has to be one of the worst performances for a movie that should in theory have had so much going for it in a long time. Maybe some amazing late legs will happen, but even still it's just not good.

That's insane for Dunkirk. I feel like Nolan is officially the biggest director box office draw there's ever been outside of Spielberg.

Another re-release seems a bit peculiar, since the 2011 one was already so successful and they didn't do this for any of the other animated classics ahead of their live action releases. Would be cool if they eventually re-released it enough to get it past Snow White adjusted for inflation, though it still trails by nearly 200m.

It's a miracle the land got built. If plans for it had materialized even just a year later down the pipeline, there's probably no way it would have ever happened. As soon as Disney got LucasFilm, they had their Wizarding World of Harry Potter killer and there was no need for an Avatar land. But thankfully it was already too far along to be worth stopping. I think it's fantastic it did happen because say whatever you want about Avatar but there's just no denying that Pandora is one of the all time best movie worlds ever created, which made it a match made in heaven to bring it to life in a high budget theme park land. It's some rare amazing Disney theme park luck that it actually exists.

It's going to be very interesting to see the crowd dynamic for what happens when two huge E ticket Disney coasters are located right next to each other. Nothing like that has ever happened in the parks.

Why do they feel the need to tell us literally every single year that another standalone Hulk film won't ever happen? It's starting to make it come across like it will.
