MrPink Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 For all of you laughing hysterically at the podcast predicts, those guys on occasion absolutely nail a movie... especially one that's driven by lots of online fan buzz. So.... beware. So...Mad Max? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmnerdjamie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Remember when everyone was so sure Pacific Rim was gonna break $200M+ domestic? Mad Max? Thinking Tomorrowland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don t get the serious " people, AOU isn t doing under 500m dom" thing. It s possible.

John Marston Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Remember when everyone was so sure Pacific Rim was gonna break $200M+ domestic? Most comparable film to pR this summer is Mad Max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Remember when everyone was so sure Pacific Rim was gonna break $200M+ domestic? Thinking Tomorrowland. Not to mean but each year one film for some strange reason gets hyped up because it looks different even though it likely be a generic blockbuster . Last year it was Godzilla and before Pacific Rim.

Avatree Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Remember when everyone was so sure Pacific Rim was gonna break $200M+ domestic? Thinking Tomorrowland. I wasn't on the forum then, were lots of people really confident in Pacific Rim? Tomorrowland does star George Clooney, that's a pretty major difference.

Chewy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 For all of you laughing hysterically at the podcast predicts, those guys on occasion absolutely nail a movie... especially one that's driven by lots of online fan buzz. So.... beware. I specifically recall them talking about Avengers 1 potentially being a disaster that would sink Marvel in their podcast that year so... that goes both ways But yeah, a lot of these movies are gonna hit or flop much harder than consensus would suggest. Wouldn't call many of these #s laughable Other than that 200m Tomorrowland prediction 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for that Neo, I didn't see that post Some of those predictions are absurd. Ted 2 100M? Mad Max 70M? Jurassic World 170M?! Mad Max doing $70 million is completely normal. It's an R-rated mid-level tentpole sandwiched in mid-May between Avengers 2 and Tomorrowland/San Andreas. Anything more than $80 million DOM is a win for it. But I agree that Jurassic World doing anything less than $225 million at this point would be a shock... it's got the month of June to itself, Chris Pratt is becoming an A-lister, Universal likely attached JW trailers to almost every showing of Furious 7, and the studio is on a hot streak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmnerdjamie Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Most of those reasons are nonsense though Not really. You just don't agree with it. Doesn't make it wrong or "nonsense," which again is a very fanboy thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattW Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The youtube video had 139 for Shawn's Ant-man prediction for that segment's summary, but he actually said 130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Their wrong and there nonsense.. not to go all grammar nazi but it's impressive that you used two different, wrong spellings of 'they're' in such a short post 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) You're acting like a fanboy, period. Doesn't matter if its about Marvel or Nolan or Whedon. Don't think so.
