Looks like WeneedtotalkaboutKevin will get another Warner Bros film wrong yet again!  It'll do $100m in its first week much like WW did over $130m in its first week! 

WeneedtotalkaboutKevin is against IT? 

$1B OW confirmed

My $42.5M+ OD club can live.

It's sold out at both of my theaters from 4PM on 

I was hoping to catch it after class but that's looking like a no go now

He was surprisingly reasonable for Ninjago: $30M/$100M/$200M but technically that's a underestimation. So... maybe $150M+?

30/100/300m was his prediction! Although TBH $300m WW would still be profitable for IT. I think it's going to do $200-250m OS. 

[John Marston]

I remember before the trailer came most people would have predicted 80m total at best

New Line should split from Warners again! Would that be possible?

New Line anyway is, was and will be part of Time Warner. So, no reason...

What the hell is Ninjago?

With New Line's resurgence, WB gets Bond and if WAG can do a $200M+ domestic film (non Lego), they might be able to keep up with Disney.

A Lego Movie spin-off based on their popular lines. It looks decent although it won't hit the heights of Lego Batman or The Lego Movie in terms of gross.

The film that outopens IT

Jesus, that evil clown is fucking terrifying.

 

But enough about Donald Trump. IT was alright!

I think finding another WAG franchise that can do $200m domestic won't be easy. The budgets are $70-80m so they don't need to huge numbers. I imagine Smallfoot will be a modest hit and Scooby will do over $100m for sure.

Maybe Scooby can but it'll have to break the whole "been there done that" of animated tv show/movie to film like Spongebob 2. Less Dragon 2/LB/POM.

 

Smallfoot will do decent ($70M-$100M domestic) but in order for WAG to be a decent player in the animation world, they should be having more $400M WW hits.

I think 70M will be fine for this movie.

$400m WW isn't easy, even DWA which is well established have only had one $400m WW hit in the last few years since HTTYD2 and that was The Boss Baby, likewise with Blue Sky where Ice Age 5 barely went over $400m WW and that's established. 

 

WAG at the moment has a better average than SPA and likely will overtake Blue Sky one of  the top animation studios.

My "IT over Get Out" club was apparently pretty ballsy when I made it. Now it almost seems like a given

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Watching a new House Hunters (she's looking for the farmhouse style in Phoenix, where do they find these idiots) and during the commercials they're running these advertorials for Home Again. The director was showing off the house in the movie and discussing the atmosphere she wanted to create with it, interspersed with movie clips and a voiceover saying the movie opens on Friday. The movie is sure to flop, now I really just want to see if the daughter of Nancy Meyers has inherited her eye for gorgeous movie houses.

Interesting WB just ran an ad during the Patriots/Chiefs saying after the game go see It

2 you forgot Kung Fu Panda 3, but Dreamworks has had consistently had $350M+ WW grossers too. WAG although is doing solid domestically with a Lego Movie, a Lego spinoff and an underperformer, has a $170M+ average I think:

I saw one review that said even the kitchen (a hallmark of every Nancy Meyers movie) disappoints.
