Speaking of how do you think Black Panther will do there?

It'll do well for the first month at least. Late legs may be an issue

Tomb Raider I think will be more of a $25-30m/65-75m film, unless it's atrocious

unless?

Tomb Raider looks like crap but what else is new? The search for the first decent film based on a video game continues.

Midnight Sun: Can Bella Thorne break free from the shadow of Zendaya? Idk, maybe, but this film will not prove it. Midnight Sun was originally supposed to come out last July and has been finished for about two years now. If that does not convince you that it’s a bomb waiting in the wings, I do not know what will. The trailer views are strong at 3.8M, but let’s be real; people were only checking it out because Bella Thorne probably linked to it on her Instagram. Nobody is going to pay for this shit! 3/6 (2x)

 

Pacific Rim: Uprising: GET IT ON TILL I DIE! GET IT ON TILL I DIE! GET IT ON TILL I DIE! HELL YEAH! The jaegers are back with absolutely none of the people you care about except Charlie Day and Burn Gorman, who have Tumblr fanart (search at your own risk). People kind of wanted a sequel to Pacific Rim, but Guillermo del Toro has become too sophisticated for this bullshit and is off winning awards. The trailer views are strong, but how much of it is curiosity remains to be seen. John Boyega could potentially be a draw in his first non-Star Wars blockbuster, but I don’t really buy that. This movie was made for overseas only, and Universal and Legendary could give a rat’s ass about what it grosses here. The interest is here domestically for an ok run, but worldwide is where all the eyes will be focused on. 24/62 (2.58x)

 

Sherlock Gnomes: MAKE THAT BOOTY JIGGLE, MANKINI! Just because this is the first animated movie since Ferdinand sure as fuck doesn’t mean families will see it. Legs will be strong with Easter, which will make theaters keep it around for a bit. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER PARAMOUNT! 10/37 (3.7x)

 

Unsane: It’s hard to make a prediction for this without a trailer (I also just realized I didn’t factor this into Strangers’ legs lol oops), but I think it’ll match Side Effects at the very least. Soderbergh shouldn’t disappoint regardless! 12/36 (3x)

Pacific Rim: Uprising has to have the most obnoxious trailer for any big-budget movie coming out this year (at least so far). Cringe every time I see it. I liked the first one but this looks completely interchangeable with a Transformers movie. Hard pass.

I get a feeling a lot of people will wait for RPO rather than see PRU.

That's a video game? lol didn't know. Thought it was just a goofy Dwayne Johnson vehicle.

Tomb Raider: 15/40 (2.67x)

Bold indeed.  I don't know if it will be this low, but i can't see people being interested in a Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander. People have no idea who she is.

Acrimony: This is the first non-Madea movie Tyler Perry has made since For Colored Girls back in 2010, which opened to 19.5M and had a sub-2x multi. Acrimony is headlined by Taraji P. Henson, who has undoubtedly gained a lot of popularity with Empire and Hidden Figures. Tyler Perry is always a strong name to bring in African-American women, and I don’t see that changing here, especially with the added benefit of Good Friday. Legs probably won’t be the best, but this will be another easy money maker for him. 22/53 (2.41x)

 

God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness: Well, at least it should beat Samson! If Paul, Apostle of Christ wasn’t opening the same week, I would have predicted around 15M for this, but both movies will cannibalize each other and finish around 10M. 3/10 (3.33x)

 

Paul, Apostle of Christ: See above. 3/10 (3.33x)

 

Ready Player One: From a shitty novel comes a new Steven Spielberg movie! Ready Player One is tough to predict. The book is popular among nerd circles, and the premise is easily marketable to general audiences. Additionally, it will be a good choice for families over the holiday. This is really more of a case on how high it can go, because I don’t think Spielberg can make a shitty movie that will collapse with a 2.2x or something. The range is big on this one, and I could see it grossing anywhere from 120M-240M. 50/160 (3.2x)

[filmlover]

I'm still waiting for the controversy. 

 

(that The Post prediction aside though. lmao)

Those seem like some pretty reasonable predictions to me so far. Well... sans The Post.
