It looks like a film that going to be horribly outdated within a few years. As much as Illumination gets slack, they're better than SPA.

 

 

 

Both companies use cheaper Foreign animation, but at least Illumination isn't trying to follow popular trends.

Yes. A thousand times yes.

I can easily see it ending up at number two. Still struggle to see it beating Jurassic unfortunately.

JW2 will rule the year.

Incredibles2 and TA:IW will tussle for #2. (edit: TA:IW has the edge here).

BP can target top 5. Not top 3 imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ready Player One ends up in the top 5 highest grossers of 2018 although that does depend on both the trailers and the marketing.

Even if BP does 235, it will have beaten all SH origins except SM1, WONDR, GOTG1 and MOS...unless I am missing something.

I think O/U MOS would be a great target.

I think O/U MOS would be a great target, just cause it's close to 300. GOTG1 is a bit too high.

Fuck Despicable Me 3 is going to hurt me in the derby, I shouldn't have overpredicted it like I did, then again few expected it to drop like it did.

 

 

To be fair that WW club did seem like the right thing at the time. Despicable Me 3 was tracking for at least 100m at that point, few people actually expected it to underperform like it did. 

 

Yeah, I had my DM club typed out and then I thought "this is too loonie, I'll do a WW club."

If anyone said that DM3 would have had the opening weekend that it actually had, they'd be dismissed as a mindless hater.

Oops.

[baumer]

When doing updates in the title, can you please please please put the page  the numbers are on?

 

Thanks you.

[The Panda]

Wow, my showing of Baby Driver that's in an hour is sold out.

[The Panda]

People are underestimating Han Solo, id give it the best odds to win the year, then JW2

[baumer]

My 4:45 show of BD was about 3/4's full.  DM3 had some early sell outs.

How many seats?

[miketheavenger]

Sorry, but Black Panther won't make anywhere near enough to win next year. That's gonna be between Infinity War, Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World: Return of the Goldblum and maybe Han Solo (though I'm not sure on that). BP could crack the Top 5 if it has a WW style breakout. But to be honest, even if Panther "only" does 200/500 it will still be a success and will get a sequel (provided it's good), so don't be disappointed if it doesn't break out.

Most of us were so very wrong. I almost feel cheated.
