When @The Panda is finished his ridiculridiculously awesome countdown, ill be starting "baumer decade of decadence....the 50 best films if the last ten years" in the Speakeasy.
I hope a lot of you check it out and I'm pretty sure there will be some WTF films on the list and there will be some films that you guys love also. Unfortunately there will not be too many Pixar films although there might be some LOL
List overload lol.

Oh man, the Star Wars are gonna be hilarious here, like this is gonna be stuff of legends.
I predict suicide watches when Episode 8 "only" opens to 208m OW and drops to a dismal 600m ...
I predict a higher opening than that but worse legs. $600m seems about right as of now.

Civil War isn't a disappointment but it's not exactly breaking out to new levels of success either if we do consider this movie another Avengers clone. It's doing in line of expectations, profitable for Disney but not letting the saturation arguments go away either. Welcome to the forums btw @Johnny Tran.

Nice Guys (90% on RT) opening a week after Hot Pursuit (8% on RT) from last year and making ~ $4m less OW just shows how much impact RT actually has opening weekend.
This can't be serious right? Clearly it has an impact, just not to the same level for every film.

Who didn't see Neighbors 2 & The Nice Guys flopping (although I expect TNG to at least salvage legs while Neighbors will just crash)?

Remove Deadpool, BvS & a fabulous looking leak available 7 days after the US release and Civil War had gaz to go over 500m dom.
Like I said market saturation is a real thing.
Apocalypse s fate is gonna be ugly.
Futurist you know I am a big saturation guy, it's coming whether CBM fans want to admit it or not. Your movie better be highly well recieved or prepare for disappointment.

Don't worry, Boxoffice.com will predict a 220M long range forecast and up it to 250-700 the week of opening and everyone will go crazy again.
I think it's very possible part 1 and/or 2 does similar numbers to AOU or Civil War or even close to IM3.

that's because they assumed better reviews automatically would expand the audience.
I was one of them, didn't think it would expand the audience crazily but have better legs than we are seeing. Shows there is a clear ceiling & that any massive Infinity Wars predicts should be taken with a considerable amount of skepticism.

420- 430m or so
Not bad but pretty well under what many on here predicted.

Is Independence Day 2 under $300m considered a bomb? If so, bomb.
Lol come on, like I said above it will be a considered a bomb in the $100m range. Obv the lower the bombier even though that's not a word haha.
-
How is Warcraft a potential bomb exactly? Seems no one is expecting much of anything from it.
-
Going to throw ID2 in there, seems very possible it goes in the $100m range somewhere. Apocalypse will disappoint but not sure we will classify it as a bomb.

That doesn't look like a flat stock market over the past 5 years.
I was referring to my last post where I was talking about the last couple of years man.

Just now, cannastop said:
China has been growing a little more slowly than it once did, but it's not like its economy shrank recently. No telling what will happen in the future, though.
Deaccelerating growth is why our own stock market has gone no where over that time period (& it's performing better than most) so it clearly matters. Of course they are still growing, when they stop our global economy better pray India is ready to take over that perch.

Those headwinds were mainly a factor 7 years ago. It's been mostly a story of growth since then.
And it's mostly due to China, especially in the case of Zootopia.Canna there has been a global slowdown the past couple of years even in China, talking about economies in general not specifically the consumer or BO related. Makes the continued growth in those BO totals all the more impressive.

I didn't check the last page and I assume the reason this thread gets bumped is not because of some sequel related news?
This thread is 555 pages long & you think any of it based on actual news? I'll go with <1%.

Hey man, I'm broke. Lol.
Dory absolutely has a chance of taking the summer crown, unless CW stabilises. I don't think it will particularly.
As for IDR - some are predicting it'll barely do $100 million total. I think it'll be a sizeable hit. I know plenty of people that are really excited about it.
Friendly bet lol. FN I'm more unsure about, because IF it's great it's definitely grossing a ton. Just not so sure that's going to happen. ID2 without Will Smith seems like a bomb waiting to happen.

If people wouldn't have cared, the movie wouldn't have made the money it did.
We'll find out for sure whenever the first sequel is released. I have my doubts.

Just now, Elessar said:
Spectacle is nothing without a story that draws you in and characters you care about. Jim knows this and he pretty much delivers every time.
No one (very few) cares about Jake Sully or the Na'vi, why I have serious doubts this will be the next SW like franchise.

It does seem like the stage is set for Dory to win the summer IF it's great.
Plus I still think IDR is going to be way bigger than most of you expect.
I will gladly bet against both of those theories.

JC's movies are full of strong characters. He's one of the best storytellers.
Hes a technical artist first, the main draw to Avatar, Titanic, Terminator is the spectacle aspect to them. This discussion could go in circles forever so agree to disagree.
-

That's an opinion. What is fact is that Avatar is the biggest movie ever worldwide. Chances are, the sequels will do just fine.
I doubt JC gives a shit what we want and why should he? If an artist's first concern is what his audience wants, he's doing it wrong.
Its more of a consensus actually, not to mention JC has never been known for his strong characters or dialogue.
-
The 3D novelty was the main draw in Avatar 1, anyone who says differently after the immediate success of Alice is kidding themselves.

There was some pretty heavy bashing of people with mixed/negative thoughts on TFA, I'd say they are just as bad & I love the whole saga in general.
