I think it looks pretty good, but Fassbender is box office poison.

It has Mr MegaBomb himself as the lead tho.

I just read the premise for The Pact next year and that shit could be kinda funny!

 

"3 parents team up to prevent their daughters losing their virginities on prom night" starring John Cena

 

lmao that movie sounds hilarious from the premise alone.  I think it could be a hit and probably break 100M.

There's a good chance, that if Ninjago does a $40M-$50M OW, it'd do more than mother! domestic.

This seems hilarious. It could be the next Neighbors.

Worst Case is $25M, best case is $50M. There's been no big $250M+ animated movie this year outside of DM3 and that barely did over DM1, Emoji and CU have failed, Cars 3 is doing sub $160M, and TNJ2 and Leap combined should be around $55M or less. And even though Lego Batman was a disappointment, which although had hype was never going to capture superhero movie fans but the younger ones, the Lego franchise is still strong. Ninjago is one of Lego's bestsellers too.

Lego Ninjago has zero hype. In order to get a 40M OW, it needs to generate interest among older audiences.

Mother i think it can manage a 20M OW. Lawrence has a fanbase

[filmnerdjamie]

I love Fassbender but he (like Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Idris Elba and Ryan Reynolds) is an actor stupidly-overestimated by Social Media and the GA shrugs their shoulders at.

I'd attribute Gosling's lack of BIG hits outside of a few movies to the fact he goes a bit more arthouse.

Just like no hype for Boss Baby, or Trolls, or Peanuts, KFP3, Angry Birds, or either of the Hotel Transylvanias. WB will ramp up the marketing. The reason there was a huge hype for Lego Batman on here was that we thought it'd be the next $300M+ grosser since it had Batman as the lead and going by Lego Movie goodwill. It acted more like a superhero movie than an animated one. Even though, animated superhero movies except under Disney/Pixar never do well.

LMAO as I was leaving the hospital I saw Bee Movie playing on a TV.  What a classic

[Ethan Hunt]

I'm hyped for mother! J-Law is one of my favorites, mystery box marketing is cool, and Black Swan (the only DA I've seen) is vv good.

 

 

But like 15M ow has to be the best case scenario

Is everything alright?

Something I just realized with the JL thread being permanently closed: no RT watch!
