Enjoy these big numbers while it lasts, everyone. It's gonna be a month until the box office gets exciting again.

[FilmBuff]

Tupac would do huge number too! He's by far the most well known rapper!

1.6 billion dollars for a beyond horrible movie. Not bad! Lol

[Ethan Hunt]

What's the next big movie?? PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 55: GHOST PROTOCOL???

Scorch Trials

Maze Runner, Martian and Hotel Transylvania could all do 40+ before then. Plus Everest, Black Mass, Steve Jobs, Pan, Crimson Peak, Bridge of Spies, and Goosebumps could all bring in money in that time. This September and October looks very promising.

Rogue Nation is the film of the second half of the Summer

 

If you define it as the biggest film of July/August, that would be Minions.

Maze runner shit? Good God! Why do we need another horrible Hunger Games rip off?

I thought this until i actually watched Maze Runner. It's pretty good.

Rogue Nation is the biggest film of the last third of the summer doesn't sound as impressive though.

I forgot that movie existed six weeks ago.

A Tupac soundtrack would likely have a new song written and performed by Tupac. They could also use his Coachella hologram

[WrathOfHan]

I've heard a lot of good things about The Maze Runner, hopefully I get around to reading the books before Scorch Trials.

Anybody know what the biggest movie is by a black director.

Is it Tim Story's Fantastic Four?

Would ot be too much to ask for SOC to beat it?

Scary Movie.

I'm excited for September and October because it seems like huge misfires among award-season contenders, ala movies like Australia, Blindness, Nine etc are very rare these days. It seems like most of the major movies that are expected to be good ARE good. Sure, there's letdowns like Unbroken and War Horse, but even those weren't awful. And early buzz is already strong for Everest, Steve Jobs, Martian, Sicario, Danish Girl (which I have zero urge to see) and Suffragette. Really, except Black Mass and Bridge of Spies, word on most of the fall slate is pretty damn spiffy (even on Goosebumps!) and I have no reason to think those movies won't be good, too. So this should be a fun fall. Hopefully Spectre, Star Wars, Creed, Hateful Eight, and Revenant live up to it.

Yeah, the fall/holidays look awesome this year. Only downside for me is that I almost certainly won't get around to seeing them all (the promising looking/sounding ones, that is).
