excel1 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 27 minutes ago, Cmasterclay said: Among my generation, Elf and Home Alone both seem like very easy legacy sequels to make that would be a license to print 300m domestic between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes I know Home Alone has fake VHS sequels but I mean with Macauley and Kieran and hopefully not Donald Trump. Again, I hope none of these things happen and we continue to invest money in original movies and create new memories and franchises, but I'm genuinely mind blown we haven't gotten an Elf sequel yet. Original is thermonuclear levels of iconic among people my age and a few years younger, and it seems like a very easy sequel to get people on board for except apparently the director and star. +1. Home Alone 3 with all 4 OGs Culkin, Pesci, Stern, and Ohara would make stupid amounts of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Strong weekend sales across the board 100M is likely locke, huge success. Now let’s hope is not a huge disappointment OS, that deadline projection was bad but hard to trust them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattage Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Wicked is a tricky case for me to judge hype, I know my friends who are former theater kids are mostly excited but of course they are. None of the ladies my age in the family has it on the radar yet but we're still months away. I'll see when we get closer.I think it'll do really good for itself, it having a bit of time for itself to build hype without Moana out at the same time will help, if it's well received it'll stick around alongside Moana as the other option. November I agree could be a huge month if all 3 movies perform to their best. It's September and there's already plans on how we're going to manage Moana with all the new children who are very excited, so I know that one is gonna be really big. I do think even though Gladiator is completely screwed with that rumoured budget, I still think itll make a lot of money and play well as counter programming. Also Red One is... there...my dad wants to see it. Idk if that speaks to its propsects but maybe it'll do alright and help out.

After seeing his pretty crap singing in Wonka, I'd only sign on if Elfman does the singing and he's just synced up mouthing it. I'd sign on for Sarandon doing to speaking and him syncing that up too. Doesn't have the voice for it. He'd fit a Corpse Bride live action though. He's more a Victor than a Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 (edited) I do feel like a Home Alone legacy sequel with O'Hara and Culkin is an idea too good to pass up. They've got all the ingredients. Easy gig for a Shawn Levy type. Edited September 6 by AniNate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly hoping that there's no discourse surrounding whether Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a hit or not because it didn't do well overseas. Unlike Twisters, the budget for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is lower, is set to make about $300M domestically, and at least another $100M from overseas markets (if not a bit more). $450M worldwide on a $100M budget is a great success for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and should not be labeled as a flop.

excel1 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Elf 2 should be done ala the way Legally Blonde 3 should be done - as an epic dose of early 2000s nostalgia. Everybody misses the precious time we had with cell phones but no social media so we had the perfect balance of contact and privacy 🥰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyJPHer Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Imagine if we got a proper Lion King sequel. There’s Simbas Pride but that is direct to VHS. Imagine a proper theatrical 2D Lion King 2. I’d die happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking about the OS gross and I think 150-200m is where it’ll land. Possible 500m WW gross if it lands OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Back to the Future sequel would be huge since it seems that series has crossed over to the following generations and is still referenced and talked about constantly. But it will never happen. Same with ET 2 (which I’m not sure has crossed over to the following generation) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean all of these sequel ideas are terrible, but Michael J. Fox deserves his peace and quiet instead of being given some thankless "passing the torch" role.

filmlover Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 How would a Home Alone legacy sequel even work? Kevin McCallister teaches his child how to elaborately take out burglars in the event of a break-in, criminals do such while Kevin's not around, hijinks happen, and then when it appears the kid is suddenly danger, he shows up in the climax to help him knock out the baddies? Good luck explaining all of that to the authorities when they show up without sounding insane lol. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible 500m WW gross if it lands OS I was thinking a few days ago $600M worldwide, but that's pretty much all dependent on legs both domestically and internationally these next couple of weeks. With those good PostTrak scores though, it seems like this is set for a pretty healthy run until the very end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that movie in my mind wouldn't be nearly as innocuous as a Home Alone revival would probably strive to be heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
