Is Terminator 2 supposed to be T23D or Genisys 2?

 

I assume T23D - no one's anticipating Genisys 2!

 

Having said that, there are probably more anticipating that than Avatar 5, considering Cameron's only going up to 4!

Speaking of Jungle Book, it's quietly had one of the most impressive runs of a blockbuster this decade. Alice level opening and Maleficent level legs, hooboy, Disney must be loving this. I think it'll fall short of a billion, but this is a simply insane run.

Yeah, and Disney's track record of non-sequel live action fairytales is insanely impressive when you look at them all (though Oz isn't as impressive as it should be thanks to that ridiculous budget).

And look what's topping the list of 'Trending Movies' on The Numbers!

AVATAR 5 before we've even seen a 2nd movie and probably won't until the earliest in 2020.. Who posted that?? Kal?? Ironjimbo??

 

The list is on the right hand column of this box office page!

I still think Favreau gets a Star Wars spinoff based on what the JB did.

I looked at The-Numbers and it is indeed Genisys 2 that they're listing as "Terminator 2".

 

Though it probably is more anticipated than Avatar 5.

CONJURING needs to do less than 90m. Bring on the continual 60% drops.

Why The Conjuring 2 has by far been one of the better movies of a really lame summer? If James Wan doesn't come back, I don't want a 3 but I don't think it deserves to be doing badly.

Movies that I'm glad are doing badly are Warcraft, TMNT2, Alice: Through The Looking Glass, X:Men: Apocalypse and Neighbors 2.

Because I need to win some Casino bets.  (And sub-90m wouldn't really be that bad for it).

No doubt the finals had an effect on the actuals,  imo

So be honest: Was the Conjuring 2 any good really considering that drop OR were all of you so sick of superhero movies at this point, you'll take just about anything???

It was a good sequel that is overlong and has a few out of place CGI areas. 

It's far better then the majority of movies that have come out this summer excluding Civil War.

[Jonwo]

The Conjuring 2 is already profitable, even it ends up only $250m WW there will be a third film. New Line's summer release have been successful with all three scoring solid grosses and all will be profitable and Universal has the OS rights to CI so they'll be happy as well if it does $80-100m OS

hahaha oh the games

I thought you personally disliked the movie. Quality wise I liked it better then Finding Dory. It stayed mostly true to what it was.

Both lost me in the third act though.

 I haven't seen it.

TC2 is obviously still a huge success if it stops making money today. Already nearly at 5x its budget.

Best movie of the Summer. It will end in my top 10 of the year for sure. Likely top 5.

Yeah, all of the Warcraft players decided that they should go to the movies because the theaters wouldn't be crowded.

The Studio Estimates vs Actuals page is an actual War Zone 

 

So many movies out-performing estimates by >10%, and many of them under-performing by >7%
