Hart + The Rock in an action comedy from the director of Were the Millers? Sign me up You know, that's what I thought too at first. Were the Millers did great. And Hart and Rock are both very high profile. But, setting aside the Furious movies, the Rock's biggest BO movie was last summer's San Andreas, and #2 after that was Get Smart. Hart's best movie was, of course, Ride Along, but #2 after that was Scary Movie 3 back in 2003. Their movies don't do badly, mostly, but they actually aren't huge. Other than the Furious movies, last summer's TMNT is bigger than anything either of them have been in, and by a pretty large margin. Edit - As a final note, I strongly disagree with whoever it was that said this was a fairly narrow summer in terms of movies. In fact, I think its unusually wide open. People have movies in their top 5 that I don't have in my top 15 and there are probably 15-18 movies that can be reasonably argued to being top 10 movies.

narniadis Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wrath - after compiling all that data there is a very narrow range. Most years there is a wider disagreement but this year the average deviation is only 2 or 3 films down from the 5 or so that previous years have had. May not seem like much but it's a decent shift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. Well, you crunched the numbers so if there's less deviation than normal, I believe you. Doesn't feel that way to me, but it looks like my entries might be a bit of an outlier making the range seem bigger to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
