AniNate Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 They were all surprises to some extent. I wasn't expecting 300 mil for Zoo or TJB and I was still in doubt about Zootopia until about two weeks into its run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murgatroyd Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The hits this year have been coming like clockwork. Here are the top 7 movies so far: Deadpool was followed 3 weeks later by Zootopia, which was followed 3 weeks later by Batman v Superman, which was followed 3 weeks later by The Jungle Book, which was followed 3 weeks later by Civil War, which was followed 3 weeks later by X-Men Apocalypse, which was followed 3 weeks later by Finding Dory. This may bode well for Pets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, my "Under 400m" bet really isn't that far off.

It's not far off, yeah, but under 400M for a film featuring that many well recognized characters to the point it was a glorified Avengers movie in all but name? That was a little too pessimistic. Although mostly everybody else (myself included at a point) was overly optimistic as well, so it balances out I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Me and Tele calling under 400 for CW is a lot better of a prediction than those of you calling over 450. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those calling it under $325m (there was even a club for it) at first or even those in the camp of the "not increasing or barely from Winter Soldier" ? There were at first more people in that camp than in the $450M or even $400M as i recall clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying some accurately predicted Zootopia and Jungle Book (or even slightly overpredicted), whereas no one came within $100 million DOM of predicting Deadpool's $350 million+ run (highest I saw was $235-240 million DOM).
