People just adore Gosling at this point, he is very much the new Leo and the closest we have to true box office draw power actor in 2024 imo. But yeah, the ceiling is still kinda capped for such a movie, so I expect no more than 225 or so at best. Yeah. Finally got around to watching Barbie on HBO Max last night. It was okay. The movie was not made for me of course. But Gosling just kills it. Just like Chris Hemsworth when you when you tap into their stealth comedic gifts watch out. And as long as they kept the budget reasonable for The Fall Guy 225 DOM and 400 + WW would be just fine. I think higher is possible though with that release date and no competition for a few weeks and hopeful good WOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know who didn’t care for Barbie all still caveated with “but Gosling was amazing!” The man has universal appeal right now, which is increasingly rare in a modern actor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 On 12/29/2023 at 4:40 PM, filmlover said: Really? Why so much? Given even the people involved are struggling to explain its connection to the 1996 movie in the press (if it's not a sequel and it's not a remake then it's...what to the original, exactly?) and disaster movies no longer being in fashion, it seems far more likely to pull an Independence Day: Resurgence, especially when absolutely no one from the original is returning for this. What's the problem there? It's a film connected in spirit with 1996 movie. Just that. The people involved want to distance it from the source material because they think it's more than just a remake. Regarding no original cast returning... Who cares? The real protagonists of that movie were the twisters. I know my prediction is very high. Twisters BO is a wildcard, but I perceive catastrophe genre has been dormant for years and it's about to come back soon with a blast.

Justin Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Domestic Box office Predictions for 2024 Deadpool 3 : 400m DOM ( I can potentially see this become the highest grossing R rated film DOM beating Passion of the Christ’s record of 20 years.) Joker Folie a Deux : 380m DOM ( Ironically enough it’s being released on the exact same date as the original almost 5 years ago. I’m going wild and say that I think this will break the October record. I think this could be the first film to make 100m on its opening weekend on the month of October.) Inside out 2 : 360m DOM ( I think this will make similar numbers like the original, not sure if I can see a huge increase from the first.) Madame Web : 50m DOM ( Maybe I’m highballing this one, it could probably do worse) Dune Part 2 : 175-180 DOM ( Honestly I don’t think it’s gonna be a huge increase from the first, it’ll make money but I just can’t see it increasing a hundred million more although I would like to be proven wrong) Kraven the hunter : 65m DOM ( similar numbers to Morbius, maybe a bit worse) Sonic 3 : 205-210m DOM Kong X Godzilla : 150M DOM Kung fu panda 4 : 155-160M DOM The Fall guy : 145M DOM Beetlejuice 2 : 190-200M DOM Edited January 3 by Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emoviefan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 God Jan and Feb look terrible. I can honestly say I may not see a movie from now until Dune 2 opens. Still hoping Argyle surprises but not holding my breath on that at this point. The marketing for that has been so strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emoviefan Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) The continued pessimism about DeadPool 3 around here. Whatever. Because Boo The MCU and CBM's right now. Like it can't go the route of ATSV or Guardians 3 instead of Quantamania or The Marvels. Edited January 3 by emoviefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooldude97 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Deadpool 1 and 2 were made in a pre Renolds becoming a major shill world, with Deadpool 3 it seems less like a passion project like the first 1 was and more of an Adam Sandler type deal where it's just Reynolds making a movie to hang out with his friends and Marvel is desperate for it to make the GA give a shit about their multiverse plans outside of Spider-man cameo's 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobSaibot Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think it would be a victory if Deadpool 3 made $650 million WW. I do anticipate a drop, but that's just because I'm somewhat of a pessimist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like reservations on Free Guy and The Adam Project, those legged it out just fine. My youngest cousin watched the former so many times it became a mainstay at home lol. The former had strong legs at the box office, and tbh if it didn’t open when people were still skeptical of going to the movies, think it’d probably do around upper 100s, maybe low 200s. Like I don’t care for Jon Watts Spideys but he’s a good journeyman that the GA usually eats up. Edited January 4 by YM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that to an extent. Despite it being a comic book film, I’m more excited for Joker 2 than for any superhero movie this year (yes that even includes Deadpool 3).

Relevation Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 50 minutes ago, cannastop said: 🤨 Yeah - People love the first Inside Out, it’s 9 years out putting it in a good time space for a big nostalgia boost - Pixar nostalgia direct sequels kinda have a perfect track record as of late (Toy Story 3, Finding Dory, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4) - The Pixar brand is still very strong theatrically (they launched an original fantasy romcom to global numbers bigger than 6/8 superhero movies last year, one dud with a whole host of unique handicaps is not emblematic of an entire brand’s strength) - I expect it to at least get very good audience reception with its touching on mental health and anxiety likely resonating big time with audiences and crucially with Gen Z and the 18-24 demographic, a major fueler of recent young skewing breakouts (Mario, The Rise of Gru, Barbie) - It’s in a wide open June with no other strong 4 quadrant blockbusters, and I expect it to have good legs - The anticipation and hype is very big, it launched to the biggest 24hr trailer views for a Disney animated film ever So yeah, all those factors combined are why I’m pencilling in a prediction of $135M OW / $540M DOM (4x legs) / $1.175B WW and by a significant margin the biggest movie of 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
