It seems like moviegoers are spending less on films across the calendar year, and instead pouring the money into a couple mega blockbusters every year, leaving the remaining films to fight over the scraps. Helps explain why we have less and less mid-sized grossers every year.

It fits the narrative that people are using cinemas for the big movies they want to see and simply streaming the smaller scale stuff.

Why do you people think, that Ready Player One (a movie, that filled with cultural references and easter eggs, that spans several decades of generations!) is not a lock for 100m yet? Lol Its like you can't see people going into the cinemas just to see Freddy Kruger, King Kong and Chuck The Doll and Iron giant while main character drives Delorian around! Don't be ridiculous! This thing isn't only making 100m, but it will open as big as your typical Star Wars saga movie, then it will do Avatar bussiness later on!

Could Darkest Hour reach the 100M mark?

Lots of smartass replies with useless images, still didn't answer my question! What makes you think RPO can't become huge, outside of your prejudiced view on what people are hyped about? I bet you were all posting these kind of image pictures, that don't answer anything, just to mock people, who were predicting big things for Wonder Woman movie...guess how that turned out?

Because the source material is really really bad.

It is true and I can't really blame them. Movie-going is a really expensive and time-consuming activity.

I won't lie, I fit in that category as well.

[TJHooker]

GA do not care about source material, only hardcore fanbase usually do! (Which makes 70% of entire audience anyway! Most of them never heard of the book or read it, but they are hyped by the fact that all these characters get together no matter what the plot is!) Thats first and second, who cares anyway, where this is a movie where you see all these unlikely characters appear together on the big screen and team up to create battle hordes in a virtual world??! I bet you see Iron Giant teaming up with Ninja Turtles, Freddie Kruger and Chucky The Doll to cause some mayhem in every movie these days! Oh wait...

even if it does well, it won't touch Star Wars or Avatar which is probably what some of the people are reacting to in your post

Sooner or later Avatar record will go down! It won't be number one forever! Movies like this has "novelty" written all over it! Its not on,y about particular character like Iron Giant or Turtles, its about having more than 100 recognizeable fan and science fiction figures all together meeting on the big screen! If people aren't hyped for this, then i dunno what else could hype them!...

You're not actually suggesting that RPO is gonna outgross Avatar, right?

2. Maze Runner: The Death Cure: $103M

4. Black Panther: $365M(IMO I think this will be box office story of the Spring but RPO will be second surprise hit though.)

7. Tomb Raider: $155M
8. Ready Player One: $226M
