WrathOfHan's Controversial 2017 Box Office Predictions

[franfar]

I would give Fifty Shades about $125m. The book trilogy is fairly popular. 

[The Panda]

Lol at that LEGO Batman number

[robertman2]

Lego Batman is hitting 350 at most.

John Wick is too low too

[MrPink]

WrathOfHan gonna put Dunkirk at 70m and he can fuck right off

Previews.

I feel like FIFTy shades is gonna be another twilight. The second film actually looks better than the first.

[Eevin]

John Wick I completely agree with, $75m is a great boost from a well-liked original without being Austin Powers/Pitch Perfect-level insane.

 

50 Shades will do something like $50m opening weekend, IMO, and claw its way to $100m. $400m+ worldwide is definitely possible, though. That OS performance for the first one was one of the most impressive I've seen in the past few years.

 

LEGO Batman will be huge, but legs will be pretty weak. I could see something like $100m/$300m for it. 

[Mr Terrific]

Jim Ross used to refer to Goldust as "highly controversial."

[The Panda]

Where are these 100m OW / 300m+ DOM predictions for LEGO Batman coming from?

 

I don't even think an opening weekend / DOM Total over The LEGO Movie is any guarantee at all.  In fact I think its target should be something like 60m / 215m.

 

These are crazy.

Any particular reason for why you think LEGO Batman's legs will be weak? I was thinking a run similar to The LEGO Movie, $70m/$250m?

Eh, mostly because of the March stampede. There's not too much demo competition until Beauty and the Beast a month after it comes out, but the amount of big releases coming out is going to butcher its screen count, IMO.

And yeah, $300m+ should not be the bar for success, and I doubt anyone over at WB will be displeased with $200m domestic, it's just that Batman being Batman makes me think it will gross higher. Idk.

Yeah, March is a murderers' row this year, but I think it will keep its screen count as the only true kids fare for a while.

Hmmm..

 

Me thinks

 

Lego Batman Movie- 155M Total

The Space Between Us- 90M Total

LEGO: 69m OW, 258m DOM.

TDKR: 161m OW, 448m DOM.

 

Average: 115m OW, 353m DOM

Are they, though? The Lego Movie was a crazy hit, fuckin' BATMAN - the most well liked character of TLM, for the matter - is the star of this one (and, other than the original Lego Movie, no major theatrical release with Batman in it since TDK has done less than 300M - Lego still came close at 250), it's a four quadrant movie (unlike Fifty Shades or John Wick), it'll have been two months since the last animated family film (Sing), and it has no competition until Beauty And The Beast.

 

Just saying.

[baumer]

Why so much vitriol from you guys? So what if wrathofhan says there will be controversy? Its his thread and if you dont want to read it then stay out of it but dont ridicule him mob style like a bunch bullies. Man some of u guys are being jerks.

[miketheavenger]

I feel like LEGO Batman could become the most overpredicted film of next year on this forum. I would be shocked if it made 300m+.

WW.

[Arlborn]

I like your Batman prediction, I see it going over BVS myself. Funny to see that one seems to be the most controversial so far and yet it seems very realistic to me.

 

Double your Resident Evil prediction.

 

Fifty Shades is doing similar numbers to the first one.
