I originally left Alice off of my top 15 for the summer game but then everyone acted like it was crazy for it to drop so much so I put it at 14.

 

I need to stop listening to the forum when I predict.

LOL, I was thinking 120M which is still way too high but thankfully low enough to miss my top 15 *dance*

Who knows. Scott Derrickson doesn't exactly have the best track record.

In terms of quality he does . The exorcism of Emily rose is the best horror movie of the last 20 years and deliver us from evil is a way above average action/horror movie . Fantastic choice for dr. Strange .

[CJohn]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose sports an amazing 45% on RT and Deliver Us From Evil has a 27% on RT lol.

 

Whatever, Doctor Strange will still be great, I am 100% sure, I thought the trailer was awesome. But Scott Derrickson is very hit or miss.

Because MCU has had way more movies than HP? 

 

Right, not just any franchise can churn out 13 movies and make 10 billion.

 

If it were so easy Marvel Studios wouldn't be the only one to do so.

 

It's a major accomplishment that speaks to appeal of the characters and mythos.

Even then I wonder what could Fox do with the Xmen.

 

In the comics the Xmen could always do more than just Mutant rights. The Fox movies have been too narrow with the stories presented in the films.

 

Xmen comics always had them fight Mutant rights too, but the comic franchise has always managed to keep running by having the Xmen interact with elements Fox don't own, or with elements that would be completely jarring if introduced in the universe of the current movies (could you imagine seeing aliens like Gladiator turn up in the Singer-Verse).

 

Yeah they've essentially made the same movie 6 times. That's a big problem with a lot of franchises though, studios are afraid to try different things so they run their franchises into the ground. We're up to Pirates 5 and Transformers 5 next year and they'll almost certainly follow the same basic outline as their predecessors

 

I wonder how the 1 Star Wars movie a year thing is gonna work out if they just do spinoffs that are prequels to stuff we've already seen

After Deadpool embarrassed X-men Apocalypse, Fox is going to unleash the absurdity.

 

Expect aliens, magic, the savage lands, etc.

They spent a fuckton blowing up a city and it's gonna drop 150M from the last one, it ain't good. Prepare for the X-Men franchise to become Deadpool-centric

 

I would love Deadpool joining X-Men

Wow, genuinely shocked, at least for TEOER . It is a fantastic proper horror movie , a truly scary movie . Oh Well paranormal activity is at 83% so that speaks volumes, IMO .

Ah, just great!

 

Another forum where neckbeards thinks that a movie not performing for their expectations or a movie having some significant drops is sign of "superhero fatigue" and people getting bored of these films. While overlooking and ignoring that there maybe other factors that is causing this.

 

Smh.

You're on the wrong forum.

Garbage. Probably his worst movie  

 

There is one reason why Scott Scott Derrickson was hired to do Doctor Strange: Sinister.

Does Derrickson even have a fresh movie on his resume?

 

Other than Sinister ( 61% on RT ), everything else was hated by critics.

 

It's nice that Olivia Munn was in one of his movies ( Deliver Us From Evil )

They'll certainly poison the brand.

 

The films will look too similar. If I didn't know any better they could have told me that Rogue One is a new Episode movie and I would have accepted it. Star Wars spinoff s should aim to look completely different from one another, right down the sound of the music.

look at this fan cartoon right here. It's not perfect or anything, but I can honestly say at least it's different

Yes, that as well. But Sinister is also a good reason. 

 

That is why I have full trust in Doctor Strange being good. These directors are pretty much puppets.

Fun Fact: Sony had the Savage Lands in the Sinister 6 script. Once they found out that Marvel owns it they started panicking.

Exactly. The best thing that could have happened to Fox is an R-rated Deadpool that became as successful as it did. Because now they should be like "Fuck it, nothing is too absurd to put in the film." But again this is Fox so when I see them do something different with the actual X-men I'll believe it.

I thought X men Apocalypse was meant to be the beginning of seeing more wacky and alien stuff in the X men movies

So like all the major scenes from Civil War are on YouTube... Like the fucking front page too...
