Everyone is making their predictions for next year. To them, I say, "So what?" Are they predicting every single wide release? No, but I am. That's right; I'm predicting every single weekend of 2017! I will go in-depth on my predictions and explain my predictions in detail (when it's warranted  ). The countdown begins soon, so get ready to argue with me! Some notes:

 

I will not be counting wide expansions from 2016 in the final yearly gross but will do write-ups on them.

When I talk about trailer views, they will be based off of the most-viewed YT video unless otherwise noted.

 

I've done it at least three times in the Top 10 of 2017 thread

That is not really a horror movie, it is a thriller.

Power Rangers will be a bomb.

This better get more controversial before WrathofHan becomes the Geraldo Rivera of the box office forums.

Monster Trucks doing 10M OW would make my head explode. I am expecting 10M total.

That One Guy will get his parents to offer their house to Paramount before he lets that happen.

Paramount is filled with gods.  They have xXx 3 and Monster Trucks in the same month.  Hail Paramount.

And Rings the following month.

 

Actually, I don't think that's making its release date either.

I have a lot to say about that one. The writeup on Rings I'll post is my genuine reaction when I wrote it.

All this insanity. Lmao at Split doing 115M

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage: Vin Diesel asks, “Shorty what you want? I got what you need!” This movie has it all: a 50 year old man skateboarding and skiing in the jungle, cliché dialogue, and more. It looks like a hilarious film. Not only will this forum be laughing at the film, but we’ll also be laughing at its box office when it inevitably bombs. The market for this movie is incredibly niche, and Split will likely be sucking up all of the buzz this weekend. 20/50 (2.5x)

 

 

For true controversy, I'd give xXx $20m DOM total

Rings won't recapture the original's appeal, and it won't bring in any new viewers b/c it's generic 

 

$30m DOM

There's no appeal of xXx, it's an artifact from the early 2000s. It's an ultra generic action movie from an ultra generic film star (don't hurt me)

Great thread topic. Hidden Figures is too low and your January 13th films will be interesting considering the holiday but none are outside the realm of possibility. I am down for the Split 100m train .
