But why though?  It's much more apropos to say ti's the sequel to Lucy.

 

Phoenix is the grown-up Logan, Amy the grown-up Emma, and the grown up Ezra is....?

[Chewy]

But does your BSG preseason total reflect that?

I, uh, underpredicted PP2

[DeeCee]

Confirmed that Fury Road is actually a gravity sequel. there's no other way that the world would react to this.

Although dust storms still swept the planet eventually the debris field lost orbit and burnt up in the atmosphere.  This allowed for humanity to again return to space with the launch of the twelve Lazarus Missions.  Each mission carrying the seeds for the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.

[baumer]

Hmm.  What's the multiple usually like on disaster films?  They seem to generally be pretty good.  A 50-55m OW suggests, what, 140-180m dom?

 I think a 3 multiplier is in store.  So about 160.

We share a similar predicament.

[Lordmandeep]

As I said as much as people hype up PP2 and MM2, over time this will be way more widely watche film. 

[baumer]

I don't think many have Trainwreck in their top 12....hopefully it does as well as me and Chewy think it will.

You forgot the 13th tribe of Terminators that had achieved "human" emotions and thought.

Can you clarify what you are saying here?  I don't quite understand it.

Disaster movies are far more watched by the general audiences.

 

They are always on TV like 2012 and TDAT and WWZ.

 

 

My point is we think movies are mostly watched in theaters, however its becoming a small fraction of total audience for certain kinds of films.

I smell a big breakout with that one. Schumer's really funny + I think actor LeBron will have people curious

We're pretty similar with Spy and Minions, I think we got those down good.

[ddddeeee]

I can't imagine many others had Vacation in their line-up. McWeener said it's like the best testing movie ever or something.

[#ED]

Great for SA and The Rock. His pay in future movies will continue to skyrocket because of these movies.

Anyone else realize there's a shitload of new releases next week?

[Jandrew]

Numbers and Chewy, I share your predicament. Put $150 for San Andreas in the BSG. Actually lowered last minute from $160. Boo.

I think I put it there but I whiffed on MMFR.

[CJohn]

I have Tomorrowland in my top 15 but not Mad Max lol.

[#ED]

I completely forgot about Tomorrowland and Mad Max.

Actually, I think I thought Mad Max would flop.

[zackzack]

San Andreas' $50M OW & The Rock are getting all kinds of tribute :
