American Made: This is Doug Liman’s second film in 2017 after The Wall. I’d say that’s Doug Liman enough! What won’t be Doug Liman enough is this movie’s box office. This movie has been finished for a couple of months, yet it got delayed from January to September not too long ago. When a film is waiting in the wings for 9 months and it isn’t for a holiday, that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Of course, there’s the possibility it’s an awards contender, but I doubt it. Not even Tom Cruise will be able to save this movie after The Mummy grosses an ungodly amount. 10/25 (2.5x)

 

Flatliners: Here’s another sequel nobody asked for. This is coming out 27 years after the first film, and the original wasn’t exactly a smash hit. It also hasn’t reached the cult status of something like Blade Runner. Additionally, this is the first in a string of horror flicks releasing over the next few weeks. I don’t expect this to do well. 15/35 (2.33x)

This i agree with. Apparently someone on imdb saw it and it's not good.

 

But your Mummy prediction is still outrageous. You're gonna regret that one. :D

Blade Runner 2049: GIVE IT TO ME VILLENEUVE!!!!!! Denis is unstoppable. He’s made some of the best films in recent years and has a distinct style. His take on Blade Runner is going to be BEAUTIFUL. The GA probably isn’t going to fall for it unfortunately; the original Blade Runner wasn’t a hit and the sequel likely won’t be GA friendly. The trailer views are good but nothing that indicates a high total. 35/105 (3x)

 

Kingsman: The Golden Circle: Manners. Maketh. Box office. Kingsman: The Secret Service was a smash hit in 2015 both commercially and critically. Many think this film will stay flat or decrease, but I don’t see that happening. In fact, I think this will be the series’ equivalent to 22 Jump Street. Similar to JS, the first was an unexpected breakout, and the sequel increased massively. Additionally, there a lot of great names joining for the sequel. Although this doesn’t have the benefit of summer weekdays, the fall release isn’t as crippling as it would be for a PG-13 blockbuster. Since it doesn’t look like WB is moving Blade Runner, this might have to get pushed up to September. 60/180 (3x)

My Little Pony: MLP is still a popular brand, so I expect the film to do great. With proper marketing (COUGH LIONSGATE COUGH), this might be surprisingly big. 45/160 (3.56x)

I'm families will be driven away from this by the stench of 20 something basement dwellers.

The Commuter: Here’s a Liam Neeson action flick that sounds great. This is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who’s had his share of hits, and features great supporting players such as Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson (Conjuring reunion!), Jonathan Banks, and more. This will have some competition from Kingsman, but older audiences should flock to this. 30/120 (4x)

 

The Snowman: Maybe this can be the film that proves Michael Fassbender can draw in audiences. It’s hard to say if it’ll get overshadowed by the competition. Martin Scorsese was originally attached to direct this film, so that should hopefully be an indicator of its quality (or not). 20/60 (3x)

Annabelle 2 sounds about right, but I can easily see $200m+ worldwide for it.

"It" is going to do close to $100m IMO, the concept has already hooked several people I know who don't typically watch horror. Even my parents, renowned loathers of horror, are interested.

I can't see Kingsman, Blade Runner and MLP all opening to $30m+ on the same weekend. One of them (either Pony or Blade Runner depending on reviews/marketing) is going to flop hard.
