Get Out could surprise at the end of the month

Fist Fight is the only comedy in February so who knows what that's going to do

Lego Harry Potter would actually be cool.

JW3 is clearly a certainity now, really happy for Keanu. One of the nicest guys in Hollywood.

Logan is going to be weak too so don't get your hopes up.

Weak in terms of box office performance?

[Krissykins]

I'm hoping Fifty Shades can get $50m for the 3 day weekend.

 

Going to see it in 2 hours.

Weak in terms of XMEN outside of Deadpool is dead right now. The GA is done with this franchise for now (obviously there are plenty of Wolverine diehards that will show up but not much outside of that).

Logan won't be "weak". It'll likely do Apocalypse numbers or slightly higher. But anyone who's thinking $200m+ for it is going to be pretty disappointed.

I guess that depends on how you define weak. Xmen is so stale right now.

If they adapt the Cursed Child they should do it in Lego format. I could probably take the plot more seriously that way lol...

It is going the Deadpool route of marketing itself as something different than your average comic book movie. It's been generating a lot of buzz because of that, even outside of a normal CBM audience. If anything, it could be the jumpstart the X-Men franchise needs.

I doubt it'll ever happen. JK Rowling has strict controls over Harry Potter, it's one of the reasons we've never had comics based on the books

Meaning it'll make a nice profit. Something like $160m domestic and $400m-$450m worldwide would be great on a $127m budget. But yes, outside of the self-satirizing parodies, there's not much going for the X-Men franchise right now.

I like those numbers. And agree with them also

Looks like $75M for LEGO Batman, $45M for Fifty Shades, and $25M for John Wick for the weekend. Nearly $150M right there. The kick that the box office needed.

 

Those numbers would be great for my predictions in the winter game.

Changed my profile pic to the only February movie that anyone's excited about

[Cmasterclay]

I think Logan might probably finish under 55 OW and Kong could finish under 30. Who cares about these franchises anymore? Feels like internet hype is out of proportion. I also think BATB might hit 150 OW and Power Rangers could overperform and hit 40, so my March predictions are a little out of whack.

Even online, Logan is not putting up the trailer view numbers expected of a major breakout. Maybe it gets shining reviews and manages to overperform.

If it does over The Wolverine numbers, I think Fox will be happy.
