1. Star wars - 1.39B
2. Transformers - 1.08B
3. Despicable me 3 - 1.06B
4. Beauty and the beast - 1B
5. Guardians - 960M
6. Pirates of the Caribbean - 950M
7. Thor - 920M
8. League of justice - 850M
9. Fast 8 - 800M
10. Spiderman - 750M
11. Coco - 725M

Let's see how I did this year:

1. Star Wars: It's kind of early to say, numbers may go as high as I predicted, tho

2. After many films, people finally got tired of Transformers and POTC franchises, I over predicted them

3. I tought Fast 7 BO's last year was because of Paul's passing, but it seems people really like this franchise, and unlike Transformers & POTC they are not tired yet

4. Despicable me 3 & Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 were my closest predictions; Transformers & Fast 8 were my worse

5. An asian movie called "Wolf Warrior" made it into the WW top 5, there's no way I could have seen that coming tbh

Don't see that happening, SS may be a GOTG style breakout, but WW won't make 200M. Still, the best that JL1 can hope for is only a minor decrease from BvS.

LOL, ladies and gents, this is what you call "DAJK fucking up"

January:

 

Hidden Figures - 10/30

Live By Night - 22/85

Cars 3 - 25/75 (already explained why I think this'll be a massive flop)

Spider-Man - 160/405

Dunkirk - 100/400 (I'm predicting this to be absolutely massive and be perfect counterprogramming)

CHiPS - 45/115 (after TMNT, Straight Outta Compton, and Sausage Party, it seems like the second weekend of August is a place where it's likely that a movie will overperform)

It - 30/100

The Solutrean - 15/80 (I feel like this is gonna get crazy good WOM)

Blade Runner - 70/200

The Snowman - 19/90

The Star - 30/87

Justice League - 140/280

 

everything I highlighted here is pretty hilarious in retrospect.  especially the Justice League one because I PREDICTED SUB-300M BEFORE ALL OF YOU

Under 300mil predictions for JL are silly and are only made out of bias and not actual potential.

(Ranked by DOM total)

 

Sorry for necrobumping, but I realized I never graded myself on 2017. 

 

Green text indicates I got the prediction within 10%, Yellow text indicates that I got the prediction within 10-20%, Red text indicates that I got the prediction wrong more than 20%

 

1. Star Wars: The Last Jedi, 220 (Perfect)/770 (+24%)/1570 (+18%)

2. Beauty and The Beast, 140 (-20%)/450 (-11%)/1070 (-15%)

3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, 160 (+9%)/400 (+7%)/1000 (+16%)

4. The Fate of the Furious, 130 (+32%)/305 (+35%)/1155 (-7%)

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming, 115 (-2%)/305 (-9%)/875 (-1%)

6. Justice League, 140 (+49%)/300 (+31%)/850 (+29%)

7. Despicable Me 3, 100 (+38%)/290 (+10%)/1040 (+1%)

8. Thor: Ragnarok, 100 (-19%)/260 (-17%)/810 (-5%)

9. Wonder Woman, 90 (-13%)/240 (-42%)/740 (-10%)

10. War for the Planet of the Apes, 80 (+42%)/215 (+46%)/715 (+46%)

 

Not predicted: Jumanji and It. 

 

Verdict: I still suck at predictions.
