Every time a new Depp movie comes out I get more excited for Alice 2

 

Really think we're going to see a historic sequel drop

And then maybe another one when Pirates 5 opens right after.

I do wish American Sniper sustained and incredible success but I believe $500 million domestic is a bit of a stretch, even for an overtly optimistic individual such as I when it comes to box office predictions and such.  However, if it even does $350 million domestic, barring there are no other major competitors or other surprising break out films, that number is a possibility.  Then, there's that $400 million mark that AS can top if it sustains good legs and the movie just sweeps the nation such as Frozen but even Frozen took quite awhile before hitting that mark. 

 

Frozen's legs were bonkers, it was actually the slowest to 400M in a single run ever; 155 days, almost double the next closest (THG at 80).  Pulled an 11.5x multiplier from its pre-christmas weekend of 22.6M.

Man, if you added up the @RottenTomatoes scores of the 3 wide releases this week it still wouldn't equal one "fresh" rating. Ouch.

I like how BOM doesn't have a showdown for American Sniper yet. Because really, there is no good comparison for what it's doing right now. It's literally an unprecedented run.

 

Passion of the Christ maybe.

What if Orlando Bloom is the big draw for Pirates 5 by the time it rolls around?

And it opens against X-Men: Apocalypse. Alice 2 domestic total < Alice OW?

Alice 2 could be a John Carter/Lone Ranger disaster for Disney.

[Jack Nevada]

Alice 2 will be fucking massive overseas.

[MovieMan89]

Watch Disney significantly cut Depp's part in Alice 2 now that he's bordering on box office poison. They don't mess around these days with success, they'll probably find some smart way to make Alice 2 look appealing.

I'm glad it bombed. Premium Rush is one of the most infuriating movies I've seen. There's no one I'd want to root for less than a douchebag cyclist who thinks he's some fucking badass.

[ChD]

American Sniper's run is truly baffling.

[James]

Good. I can't stand his performances after the first Pirates aside from Sweeney Todd.

Get the fuck out.

They should have move it up to this year. We need one extreme historical BO achievement for the other end now that AS has already occupied one end of the spectrum.

[CoolioD1]

You know what's an overrated depp performance? finding neverland. unbearable film in general.

[Maxmoser3]

Mortdecai should've been straight to video or VOD because it has that quality

Watch him have as much screentime as he did Into The Woods. 

[MovieMan89]

Just make it about Hathaway and HBC's characters. I wouldn't even mind seeing that since they were mildly amusing in the first.

[Empire]

Get the fuck out.

He is right though. Well, I guess he was good in Into the Woods, but that was a small part.

[Jack Nevada]

Best Depp performance in a bad movie? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
