Why should LUCY be dramatically bigger than COLOMBIANA? I'll grant it's maybe somewhat bigger, but not tremendously so.

[rockNrollaDIM]

I can't wait to see LUCY.

 

Of course I'd rather the Dame had snatched it up, but it still looks very good.

The 'Morgan Freeman factor'.

 

Yeah, not a thing

It's getting a way bigger push and does have more appealing leads. Also isn't being dumped in middle August.

 

I could see something like 70-80 million.

[Hatebox]

If Lucy uses 100% of its brain there's no limit to what it could make.

[La Binoche]

There have been reports that Universal is confident in Lucy after strong test screenings. I think the movie will appeal to both genders and to whites and minorities.

Right there is why I'm unlikely to see it.

[Blankments]

I apologize for kinda starting the Frozen v. Lion King derail... shouldn't even have been a derail, but for some inexplicable reason, the diehard Frozenites attacked this thread when they typically stay out of the numbers threads *shrug*

[John Marston]

Lucy won't do they good1. It's rated R2. It doesn't look anything special3. ScarJo is not a draw

[Heat Vision]

Lucy under 60m, definitely.

 

[darkelf]

Well, LIMITLESS did make $80M and Cooper's and Scarlett's popularity levels are around the same level, so $60M because she's a woman  (more because it's the same film all over again)

Okay...but what makes Lucy didnt from Babylon AD and Transcendence?

[Blankments]

Frozen is better simply bcoz Anna and Elsa are a gazillion times more interesting and likable protagonists than Simba. Also, Olaf >> Timon, Pumba and their tired old flatulence jokes. 

I don't think I've read a post that is so much the exact opposite of my own opinion

[MrPink]

Okay...but what makes Lucy didnt from Babylon AD and Transcendence?

 

If you mean different, hopefully it's not pure shit like Babylon A.D. (or Transcendence from what I hear)

[filmlover]

Lucy actually looks like fun (if bizarre), unlike Babylon A.D. or even Transcendence. Won't be a massive hit but it should have no problem securing around a $20M opening.

[The Panda]

The Lego Movie isn't even better than Frozen.Must be dat Batman effect.

The LEGO Movie is a pop-masterpiece.Also about to see Snowpiercer, I don't know what to expect, I have seen lots of raves but a lot of casual audiences have hated it.

[La Binoche]

The box office analysts will be annoying if Lucy does break out. I can picture the headlines and articles about how women actually do go to the movies! And the writers of those articles will believe that they're actually saying something new and significant. 

[Fancyarcher]

Lucy will make around 65m.

[Blackout]

Lucy looks interesting, I hope it does well.

[Blankments]
