Well, ya see, I'm also taking my mom with me.  And the tickets are gonna be more like $15 since I'll be seeing it in Cinemark XD, and if it doesn't come there, then I'll still be seeing it in 3D anyway.

 

So how about we go $30?

30 BUCKS!!!

The INCREDIBLES 2 is simply over 10 years too late and really, nothing is going to touch INFINITY WAR: A Culmination of how many MARVEL movies to get to this point??? It's going to have a shit load of Superheroes along with the GOTG added to the mix, so no way this loses to any movie next year, not even MEG will beat this, but it'll be close..

Han Solo is moving, wait for D23

I don't think so. Disney wants that spot in May away from Poppins.

[The Panda]

I'm thinking Infinity War goes sub-400m actually.

[Ethan Hunt]

yeah Dea2pool is decreasing. it's more a question of how much

Yeah right after GOGT2 made $380m

[GiantCALBears]

Asgard over estimated a bit for WW? Hmmmmm the $25.7m club is still in play. Something like 7.35/10.15/8 could be a win for the under.

No matter what...the fact that Wonder Woman will finish close or maybe even top Guardians 2 is mindblowing.Tell me...who thought that this would even be discussed a month ago.

I'm glad that worked out for you but some guys have resentment and commitment issues because they settled down too early so my advice was more male-centric.

 

I know a few guys who were promiscuous for almost a decade but became great fathers and husbands because they learned to appreciate the limitations of a selfish, hedonist lifestyle and realized how rewarding family life can be by contrast.

 

Some guys have to get their fantasies out of their system before they can become happily grounded in reality.

 

I can only advise people based on my own experiences and after traveling the world, experimenting with soft drugs and having sex with dozens of women, I can safely say I'm glad I did those things BEFORE I became a loyal husband and father.

 

Those experiences gave me a broader perspective and a certain amount of wish fulfillment needed to completely close that chapter of my existence and I can happily and confidently do so because I conquered those demons and mountains already.

 

Like I said, I'm glad your way worked for you but I know I wouldn't be as happy if I married a church girl and had kids during my early adulthood. I needed to explore/discover some things about the world and myself first.

 

My spouse was the grad student (so he has me by 3 years:), so he had sewn some wild oats...funny enough, if you ask him his one regret in life, it would be that he did sew those oats - I tell him, why regret it?  It made you who you are.  And who you are was perfect for me:)...

 

When I met him in college at a Halloween costume party (with some drinking of some hard stuff that won't be mentioned b/c not all may have been of age), my friends (both male and female) warned me away from him b/c he was a "player."  He managed to get that rep in just 2 months of dating and discarding undergrads:).  But I knew me, and knowing yourself and being confident in yourself and your choices is important.  I wasn't one to fall for guys "plays"...I fell for the guy himself once he was the right one:)...made a few guys sad over the years, but made myself (and my current spouse) the happiest in the end:)...

Infinity War is just another Marvel sequel. It will not win the year.

 

Dory kicked Civil War last year and The Incredibles 2 will win the summer.

 

Finding Nemo =/= The Incredibles

 

Cap 3 =/= Avengers 3

 

Finding Nemo and Avengers are bigger franchises than both Captain America and The Incredibles.

Well see how stand-alone Wonder Woman is handily beating Bat+Sup+Wonder Woman. So sometimes less is more. But I too don't think Avengers will fall below 400.

you're right. it will do less

[YM!]

IW will be over CW since this time it has all of the Avengers and potentially characters like Strange and Guardians and Thanos which will help attract more people. But it's locked to do under Ultron. I think like CW most of the GA will flock OW to see it giving it something like $200M-$210M OW but then collapse and do $430M-$450M.

I don't know if it will fall under 400m or not, but it won't beat Ultron. I think there is a CBM fatigue in the sense that the ceiling has been reached. They still draw massive numbers, but unless there's an ultra new gimmick to them, they won't go over 500m. 

 

Also, I soooo doubt The Incredibles is making over 400m. It might be the most overpredicted movie I've seen around here in a while.

 

Deadpool will likely end up around the same as the first one, maybe a bit higher. JW should easily win the year, DOM/OS and WW (with around 1.3B or so).

 

Also, question for anyone who knows: will MEG be a big budget movie like JW? Or a cheap horror flick. I want to make a prediction for that.

[Maitch]

I just realized that WW is on is way to beat TDK's fourth weekend. That just nuts.

An SM2 from SM1 like decrease will give it 335. I don't think DP2 can do much better than that.

Civil War was Avengers 3 in all honesty. And the GA saw it as that.

I don't see how adding Strange or the guardians is more of a hook than literally the two most popular avengers "fighting" each other
