They could easily move Power Rangers or another big movie to August. I mean the biggest films in  that month are currently  Annabelle 2 and Emoji Movie.

 

Ooh, I forgot that Pitch Perfect 3 had moved to...December, alright. 

 

& honestly King Arthur was doomed no matter how you slice it, but I do hope it succeeds so WB can mayyyybe greenlight the Ritchie sequel we really want

Poor Hiddleston , I bet he wishes he was Bond.

 

Daniel Craig wishes he weren't Bond so Hiddles may yet get his chance.

I read somewhere that apparently he's backtracking on that. Sorry, no source, just remember reading it.

I thought Sherlock Holmes 3 was confirmed.

He very well could be. I read that the studio(s) offered him an insane, Downey-esque amount of money to do another film. It might be enough to talk him out of slitting his wrists.

If you want Sherlock Holmes 3 the opposite has to happen, otherwise we'd just get King Arthur sequels.

 

Also hope it fails so my club can succeed.

I was talking about The Real Rocknrolla lmao Am I the only one who still wants that? 

[amelin]

I wouldn't be surprised if this underperforms, but for Hiddleston's sake I hope it does well. He could really use a hit at this point.

[NoobSaibot]

I just want it to do well because this would mean more giant monster movies.

 

They are my cocaine, and I need my fix.

I just watched Kong 2005 and i swear Kong looked better in that than he does in this trailer, although i suppose the cgi may not be final.

 

Also i haven't been following this film so i'm guessing the reason why Kong is so ridiculously big in this is because they are going to be doing some kind of Godzilla vs King Kong movie in the future?.

This is my most anticipated movie of March, but I think people aren't as hyped for it as rest of the movies releasing that month. I can see this underperforming big-time. 50/150 won't surprise me.

 

50/150 would be underperforming for this?, how much do people think this is going to make lol.

The CGI probably isn't final. One of the complaints people had for the second trailer for Godzilla (2014) was that the CGI looked a little shoddy. In actuality, it wasn't finished. So that's probably why the CGI in the November trailer looks unfinished....because it is.

 

And yeah, the idea is to pit Kong against Godzilla in a 2020 crossover film.

[Cookson]

The talk about only a 50m opening and 150m domestic total kinda bums me out. I don't feel the hype for this like GODZILLA had..yet anyway.

 

I do think it's overseas gross will be better than G14 though.

[NoobSaibot]

I never expected it to make more than Godzilla domestically. King Kong has a beat up franchise that is mostly renowned for three films, all of which have the same plot and conclusion. How many times does a movie need to be remade?

 

Godzilla has never had that problem. It's easier to get excited for a new Godzilla film because he wasn't taken out of his natural habitat and killed like a wild animal in multiple films.

With how much of box office betting is feast or famine for openings, even on the "low" end of an OW prediction 50m seems underestimating it.
