TMP Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 MI 7 over indy 5. Don't see what the hook for the latter will be AT ALL. Feels like it'll be the most over-predicted film of 2023 (either that or aquaman 2 - still don't know how that'll do as well as predicted without the benefit of holiday legs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The big thing that makes me unsure about MI7 is the ‘part one’ in the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a creative disaster, which I doubt (Crystal Skull backlash was so toxic and the creatives/cast behind this are so strong that it's obligated by law to be good IMO), I see zero reason why it wouldn't at least get close to matching that. Plus there's Harrison Ford back in his most iconic role one last time, legacyquels are all the rage, Indiana Jones is still a popular and loved franchise, and the 15-year gap from the last movie is both a good enough time where the bad taste isn't really in people's mouths anymore and long enough where people can feel nostalgic about seeing Indiana Jones again. Plus adventure movies like Indy have always had a market, and that's especially true today. Jungle Cruise, Uncharted, and The Lost City all easily zoomed past 100M even though none of them had great reviews. Really, this has everything going for it to explode at the box office. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a few weeks later it'll have hard comp from Mission 7, Oppenheimer, and Barbie before another Marvel movie end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily can be something akin to Top Gun Maverick (but likely not reaching those heights). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Prime Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Mangold is honestly what is selling me on the Indy dream. In terms of crowd pleasing popcorn blockbusters, he is one of the best at the moment. He knows what the people want 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p a p i Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If Blade is a great MCU movie, I think it has a BIG breakout potential. The most easy and predictable picks for the biggest movies of 2023 are GOTG Vol. 3 and Indy 5. Yet for some reason, I think it's going to be something else. Something that will breakout in the vein of Top Gun. Could that be The Little Mermaid? Barbie if it's really that INSANE zeitgeist? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p a p i Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I'm thinking Aquaman 2 will move to December 2023 and Shazam 2 will take its place in March. I don't know what that would mean for The Flash tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p a p i Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Wonder how many Billion dollar movies we will have in 2023. I feel like now more than ever, your movie needs to be good to reach it. I think we have some Billion potential in 2023: 1) Ant-Man Quantumania - If this movie is great, I think the breakout potential of this one is huge. Ant-Man is bigger. Kang is coming. It's BHM. Tell you this. If this is a GOOD MCU movie, this reaches 1B. Probably won't go 1.1B 2) Super Mario - If this movie is good, has a great entertainment value for children plus the immense fanbase of Mario and Nintendo and a China release, I say it gets there. 3) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - This to me is a SAFE bet. I think it's going to be a really good and emotional movie. The goodbye to this roster of Guardians. I say 1.2B 4) Fast X - Fast 9 sold me. With a China release date, movie theaters doing much better, I think the title alone adds something and with the huge cast joining...I think this makes a Billion. Unless this movie stinks hard, I think it makes a B. 5) The Little Mermaid - Memorial Day Weekend. It's going to be a BIG musical. Lin Manuel Miranda is on it. This feels like such a Summer winner. If it's good, It gets to a Billion. 6) Indy 5 - I was lower on this days ago but I'm starting to feel that this will be huge. Specially Domestic. If this a great Indy movie, it's a beast unleashed. Faith in Mangold. 7) Mission Impossible: DR P1 - Tom Cruise is hotter than ever. I sense a lot of good will and excitement will jump from TG to MI. Also, this is a big franchise already and I'm getting confident on a Billion on this. 8) The Marvels - If this movie is really good, I think it makes it. 9) Blade - Again. If this movie is really good, this could be a big breakout hit and bring the Black audiences in droves like Black Panther me thinks. 10) Aquaman 2 - I think this movie will replicate the 1st success. Or even more. Not saying all these will happen. But I think they have the most potential to do it. I wonder if we will ever have a 2019 again. That was madness. 2023 doesn't seem like another 2019 but it does look MUCH better than this year. Same for 2024 already. 2025 will be interesting. 2 Avengers movies. Another 2 MCU movies that could make a Billion just by default and hype carry. I also think we will definitely get a Star Wars movie in 2025 if there isn't one in 2024. And the other studios is something to be seen. It's very early. But 2025 more than 2023 and 2024, does have a real potential for the next 2019-like year.
