MrPink Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Pixels should bomb pretty badly. Goosebumps will bomb as well, but they decided to delay that flop to 2016. I am still not sure if they will last much more... None of these are going to be bombs like After Earth or White House Down. They might not earn money, but they won't break the bank.

James Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) The truth is, looking at it, WB and Disney will become the leaders by far. Yeah, 2015 is weak for WB, but just look at their slate from 2016 onwards - it's crazy. Paramount will likely close the top 3 in the future.

Avatree Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ted 2, Pitch Perfect 2, Everest... massive year for them. I'm thinking OS they will come fairly close to Disney. ? Sony has an amazing year. They don't have franchises, but most of their movies were hits: 22 Jump Street, The Equalizer, Heaven is for Real, The Monuments Men, Think Like A Men Too. And those which disappointed DOM made up for it OS: Sex Tape (126M WW), Deliver Us From Evil (87M WW), RoboCop (242M WW). Pompei was their only big money loser. Monuments Men wasn't really a hit. RoboCop wasn't particularly successful worldwide either... Oh, and Amazing Spider-Man 2. That was the opposite of a hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacha Baron Cohen hasn't failed before and I don't think he is about to. Also don't completely count out Cameron Crowe's film (assuming it stays in 2015), we don't know anything about it so can't really judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) 710M WW. It was a hit. Not when $450m was spent on it. Edited November 23, 2014 by treeroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Pixels and Goosebumps have the same budget as After Earth. And they will all gross way less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Goosebumps was delayed into 2016. Chappie, depending on the budget, should bomb pretty hard. Chappie wasn't included in hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Chappie seems like the hardest thing to sell ever. I will be seriously shocked if it does more than 60-70M WW. And I assume the budget is also 60-70M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Not with $450m budget it isn't. That's with marketing. Even like that (although I doubt it's that high), it still made it's money back. And don't forget about DVD/Bluray, TV rights.

CJohn Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Pixels, maybe. I'd be surprised if Goosebumps has a budget like After Earth 125M is not that big of a number. And at least it should have a 100M budget. Jack Black's Gulliver's Travers cost 112M to FOX. Lucky for FOX, it did 200M OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty soon were gonna hear it cost half a billion dollars to make... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
