Box Office Freak Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I like how last year everyone was putting Batman V Superman in the top 3 for the year, now many of you won't even put Justice League in your top 10 for next year. Oh how DC has fallen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixar's summer releases have a sterling track record at the Oscars. It couldn't hurt anyway. Bottom line : If people love it it'll do well, if they don't then it deserves what it gets.

AniNate Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 So Grinch got shifted to 2018. Good news for Coco. Still think MLP's chances are better in its new date, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ugh, grinch being moved to 2018 sucks. 2017 is already pretty lame outside of Star Wars/Guardians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was spaced 12 days away from Coco. It was definitely for the better. However, that doesn't mean its current spot is much better. It's only a week after an untitled Disney fairytale, and a week before Fantastic Beasts 2. Either the fairytale movie gets moved and Fantastic Beasts doesn't offer much competition, or The Grinch will move to a spot that December (before the animated Spider-Man and Mary Poppins Returns of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Studios have been conspicuously avoiding the week before that Christmas to set a date. They must be anticipating Avatar 2 being set there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 MLP is fine where it is, even if Deadpool is on that date there's going to be very little audience overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possible audience overlap would be nerds who happen to both be Bronies and Marvel fans, so yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superweirdo87 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Two thoughts on Justice League. 1. A lot of people were expecting or hoping for better out of Man of Steel, and a number of observers argued that BvS was meant to provide a shot in the arm for box office. Yet, a lot of these Justice League predictions are basically where Man of Steel was. Maybe from a long term standpoint, it is strange that Justice League is seen as doing what Man of Steel was. 2. BvS' trajectory was noteworthy. Record OW and huge drops. It seems like JL should still be able to get a killer OW, if not as good as BvS. But, say it is like 140-150M. A 2.25 multiplier gets you to 350-375. That does not seem implausible if the movie is better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same creative team, specifically Snyder, so it'll still have steep drops only slightly mitigated by the holidays. I think it'll be doing really well to match Man of steel's opening and then hit a 2.1 or 2.2 multiplier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 With all the sequels underperforming this year, we might reconsider next years top10 Right now, 2016 top5 has three overperformers that are not direct sequels. Besides Guardians, Star Wars and Spiderman, I am not feeling that confident with the rest of the sequels. Also doubtful about Beauty and the beast. I am feeling we will get an under the radar original juggernaut. Dunkirk and Coco are the original films with better chances to sneak into top5 1. SW8 - 675M 2. GotG2 - 350M 3. Coco - 330M 4. Spiderman. Homecoming - 320M 5. Dunkirk 310M Still thinking on the rest of the ranking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
