The internet really wants a new director to elevate which is why Brad Bird, Blomkamp and even Trank got the auteur label after just one good live action movie. 

 

Deadpool will do Kingsman numbers, good enough to make money as it is low budget for a SH movie. Worst case scenario is of course, Kick Ass. The internet seemed to go crazy for it, but people just did not show up.

Nolan is enough for us, Internet. Nolan is God.

 

Also, there is no way Deadpool makes Kingsman numbers Kick Ass numbers DOM and a bit more OS seems right.

Hail Brad Bird

Hail Brad Bird

 

Hail Tomorrowland.

Hail Tomorrowland.

Tomorrowland... another brilliant success story from this Summer. Fucking Brad Bird. 

[Ozymandias]

I feel that movie won't even move forward.

 

Alien 5 and Prometheus sequel are going into production next year I think.

 

Don't worry, it'll be a sequel to Aliens so they'll be neutering the franchise by letting her having the family she always craved

 

It'll be Aliens except with state of the art production values because fuck Alien 3!

There were like 6 hits this summer, a handful of movies that did okay and then a ton of disasters

I will believe in both of them when they start shooting. Edited August 9, 2015 by CJohn

Ted 2, Tomorrowland and Terminator Genisys are all going to make the top 15 for BSG purposes. Unbelievable considering how badly all 3 flopped domestically.

 

The number 5 movie of summer will be almost 150M lower than the #4 movie.

Brad Bird should be able to make a good F4 film, since he already did it in animated form. But Incredibles 2 is far more important.

I blame F4 and Pixels for this.

[Jack Nevada]

Quality wise the summer was pretty good imo.

[grey ghost]

Nobody believed in Star Wars, Lucas included.

Nobody in 1976 could have predicted what it became.

 

 

Lucas knew enough to grab the merchandise rights.

 

and nobody cared about merchandising rights back then.

It's actually the opposite. There were like 4 disasters and then a whole bunch of successes and a few mega successes.

I guess it is the difference between Minions and Pitch Perfect 2

[redfirebird2008]

 

 

Do you mean stuff like After Earth on Bluray steelbook edition? Dracula Untold? Need for Speed? Dwayne's Hercules? Into the Storm? Many others I don't remember? I agree.

 

Well I didn't figure it would be that bad. Geez. :lol:

[baumer]

Where is the post with Saturday numbers?

True, but inline previous years, I now appreciate holiday season. I used to think "YAAS ALL BLOCKBUSTERS ALL THE TIME" now I'm thinking "yup, summer has run its course. Until next time...!"

TL, Pixels, F4, T5. The real Fantastic Four

[Mojoguy]

Deadpool will probably be a hit. Then we'll get a bunch of articles about how Ryan Reynolds was always a misunderstood superstar.

Ryan Reynolds is a superstar? Since when? More like never.
