John Marston Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 CF definitely deserves to be in contention. It's the only sequel to increase after the first movie hit 400m. If not for Frozen CF would be the talk of the forum except there were at least some people predicting that. Frozen is beating pretty much every single person's prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people did like kitspierre, fishnets, the futurist, noctis, MGS and many others. Look at all the people who were in the over 450 club.

kitik Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My top 5 are: Interstellar, CA: TWS, Apes 2, Godzilla, and GotG. The people bashing 2014 need to get over it. I'm looking forward to: Godzilla Captain America The Winter Soldier X-Men Days Of Future Past Interstellar Guardians Of The Galaxy Transformers Age Of Extinction Amazing Spider-Man 2 Edge Of Tomorrow Monuments Men Robocop Sabotage Neighbors Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit Big Hero 6 A Million Ways To Die In The West Transcendence 22 Jump Street And even Expendables 3 and Sin City A Dame To Die For, though there's a huge danger of that Sin City sequel being a major disappointment. Plus there's other stuff like HTTYD2, Hobbit 3, Hunger Games 3, and POTA 9 (or whatever the number is). There's bound to be disappointments in that big list, but anyone worried about a lack of movies or a lack of big moviesjus t isn't paying attention. Just because there aren't any movies with $500M potential in 2014 doesn't mean there won't be any big films next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 2013 has been powered by the strength of its mid-budget films. You really can't make an accurate assessment of a film schedule at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 So when it comes to this years box office surprise who won. Some contenders are Iron Man 3, Gravity and Frozen. I'm actually writing an article on that right now. I'd have to say Frozen, World War Z, Conjuring, and Gravity. Biggest negative surprises are White House Down, the month of Feburary, and Thor and Star Trek missing the top 10, which will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 It's Gravity without a doubt. Even up to a week before its release there was still fear it would be too cerebral and small-scaled for a blockbuster audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) So when it comes to this years box office surprise who won. Some contenders are Iron Man 3, Gravity and Frozen. Frozen all the way. 1. Gravity nearly doubled expectations but it was a very unique film, shot in space and had a great director. So there was at least a tiny tiny room for a surprise run. Frozen was just another non-Pixar Disney computer animation. It was not supposed to do what it did no matter what. It took DM2 to be a sequel to a 250m movie to cross 350m and that was considered a surprise. 2. After Gravity's amazing 2nd weekend hold, it's great run started being predicted. Frozen on the other hand opened above expectations kept on surprising everyone week by week, hold by hold. Till 3 weeks after, people were saying 270+. As recently as this Monday folks were like "now 300 is a lock-in". Now it's 350. Edited December 27, 2013 by a2knet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the number of screens is out of our hands and the number of shows then depend on running time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Frozen's performance is impressive, but it was always going to be at least a decent hit. There was a lot of concern that Gravity would actually bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
