Raegr's Controversial Box Office Predictions of 2018

[Random2]

As 2017 draws to a close, I think it's time to look ahead into 2018. I like @WrathOfHan's idea last year so I thought I'd do one this year.

 

I will be starting this extremely soon! Let me get all my ducks in a row first

 

So excited!

Insidious: The Last Key

 

January 5th, 2018

 

26M/68M/130M

 

(2.6x)

 

Seeing how much of a powerhouse Jason Blum has become, any movie he puts out is guaranteed to be profitable. His business model has attracted the likes Get Out, Split, The House and Happy Death Day. The Insidious franchise has been mostly financially successful with an average domestic gross of 63M. With 2017 wrapping up, I expect Insidious: The Last Key to perform better than it's previous installment since we haven't had a horror film since October. This also does not have much competition as it is January, which is prime real-estate for this film to succeed.

@WrathOfHan I sent you message but it says that you can't take messages, did you block me?

No.

Look at title, looks at poster of the topic...

 

 

Raegr/ck5111 - maybe you should choose one moniker and stick with it.

Raegr, just because I put your previous incarnation on ignore doesn't mean you had to go to the hassle of making another one.

I might do something like this but it’ll be my predictions all posted at the same time and I’ll do a self evaluation of how I did after each film opens

Paddington 2

 

Brits love this movie and with amazing WoM I expect this to break out not only domestically but also WORLDWIDE! As of December 6th, 2017 Paddington 2 sits at 38M worldwide playing in few markets. Unfortunately, Paddington is not a big enough brand to attract families and with Star Wars, Ferdinand, Coco and Jumanji, this will miss out on a few million. This would have played better during Thanksgiving... oh well!

 

17M/54M/210M

 

(3.17x)

Spoiler

Proud Mary 
 

Taraji P. Henson is a big actress and she makes her return to the big screen after Girls Trip and the small screen debut on Empire. Not only will this attract women, it will attract Black Woman (and some black men) who made Hidden Figures and Girls Trip a huge hit. This is very action heavy but based on the director's track record, it's fair to say it's reviews won't be amazing. Internationally this film may do well but international markets may not be too warm to the idea of a Black Woman  leading a big action flick, I'd love to be proven wrong. For now:

 

15.5M/42M/68M

 

(2.71x)

Awe man, you're the reason why I made this new account. Couldn't bare you not seeing my over predictions and meltdowns 

But in all seriousness I wanted a new account as a refresh, start new and make changes  

 

But you all know it's me anyways....

Oh no oh no, I'm not @raegr I just share the same IP address, speak the same way as him, sit in his chair, worship the same woman and use the same keyboard. Huge coincidence!

Den Of Thieves

 

Don't know too much about this but it sounds like it has a very interesting action packed plot. North America won't care but this will play very well internationally.

 

13.2M/34M/97M

 

 

Spoiler

21 Strong

 

Not much to say about this, very little buzz and it's an R-rated horror war movie. This looks like another throwaway January movie...

 

With that being said:

 

9M/23M/45M
