Holmes and Watson | Dec 25 2018 | Sony | Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly

[kitik]

Not the funniest trailer of all time, but I chuckled a few times and that's going to be good enough to make this a hit over the holiday season. Not sure what all you highfalutin snobs are hoping for in a Ferrell/Reilly comedy movie. I think some of you were just determined to hate before even seeing it.

 

100M is going to happen with holiday legs.

[Cap]

What can I say, I'm a sucker for Holmes.  There opening night.  

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

I liked everything except the selfie stuff at the end.

Maybe we compare them to their previous movies and we come to the conclusion that their schtick looks stale now. I wasn't expecting higher for this, but it still looks bad.

$100 million is dead. $50-$60 million domestic total would happen if lucky. Also no one bring up Father Figures ever again, that was fucking ass 

[xxoo]

This is a definite 100 MLN

[DAR]

Eh

[Scubasteve716]

John c Reilly is usually always in good movies. Looks like not this time 

[Zakiyyah6]

It could get 100mil but the premise doesn't seem as broad as Father Figures so I don't think that's a guarantee. I'm thinking more like 60-75mil. 

[DMan7]

I think it looks decent, I don't know what you folks are complaining about now. 

[Curtis1986]

This got a very bad reaction in theaters. Barely any laughs at all at the trailer. 

[Napoleon]

This looks fun

ANd the competitioin, even with Alita ouf of the fight, is just murderous.

I am betting it won't be as much fun as the late great Gene Wilder's "Sherlock Holmes Smarter Younger Brother".

This will surprise. 100M is on the cards

I can't help but be curious now about the PG-13 Deadpool and how that affects it.

The film would have gotten beyond hurt by opening the same day as all of those other films. I still think it's only going to do okay at best.

[kitik]

Smart move. Let the franchise-and-fanboy-driven movies get their dedicated opening weekend crowds out of the way, and then swoop in and be a second or third choice that families can agree to when they go out for a holiday movie.

[dudalb]

If a film is depending on being a "second choice because the movie you realy want to see is sold out" for it's success, it's not a good outlook.

Biggest problem is that the film just does not look all that funny.

Holmes has moved to Christmas Day, but even it had stuck of the 21st PG 13 Deadpool would have had little  affect . Don't know what the hell Fox is trying to do with that,except throwing something up in the pre Christmas season just to preserve their pride.
