[kayumanggi]

Will be in the top 3 again for sure.

[Neo]

Will be in the top 3 again for sure.

Disney #1

WB #2

Battle for #3 between PAR/UNI.

Sony #4 (last).

 

FOX could be #3 as well, no? Alvin 4, KFP3 both as December releases, Peanuts and 2 other animated movies. The race for #3 will be fierce.

They really should push one of these back... I don't see why they'd put two R-rated comedies with big box office potential so close to each other.

[samsha22]

their 2015 slate s huge..they can finish either No.1 or 2 with that list of blockbusters.

2015 will be Disney - Universal fight for No.1 unless WB comes with some more gravities ..

[hegemony]

I don't think WB will get #2 spot for 2015. Maybe if Warcraft didn't move.

Not sure about WWZ ll and TINTIN ll.

Why not? Last word was Christmas 2015 for Tintin 2. Supposed to after PJ is done with TABA.

I can't remember where I read it, but one article said the planned December 2015 release isn't happening.

Since the final entry in The Hobbit trilogy, There and Back Again, is set to hit theaters in Decmeber 2014, one wonders just when we’ll see a second Tintin movie – Jackson’s comments are a signal that it’s happening, but it seems unlikely that the nuanced, detailed VFX work needed to flesh out the motion-capture performances could really be finished by then, given that there is no indication of a timetable for shooting exists.

Thats from the website (their opinion). The fact: As soon as I’m free of ‘The Hobbit’, I’ll be going back into doing ‘Tintin.’ It was held up by ‘The Hobbit’, but we have every intention of doing another Tintin movie and it’s just waiting on me to be done with these ‘Hobbit’ movies. This came from Jackson. So looking at this a Christmas 2015 date is possible.

Especially with Blended in the middle.Neighbors is fine though, it's first and is getting good press. That's primed to break out.The second though...dunno...it's funny, really funny but not sure the subject matter and Seth starring will encourage a huge opening. But...it's funny.

I'm not even sure (if it gets made) if it'll survive December 2015.

With Alvin and KFP also VII and Mi5 would be a struggle.

From a studio suit perspective it really doesn't make sense to make it...but if it's truly Jackson/Spielberg pet project hey it might still happen.I'd like to see another...the first was surprisingly entertaining.

Made roughly 3.5X its budget.

It's one of those things where the first film did well enough, but not sure it garnered enough good will to justify a sequel, especially this long after the first.Even though it should it was good. Hoepfully people remember. Granted, it's strongest international territories are good return territories(France, Uk) so that works in its favor. US underperformed though, though I suppose it's understandable...not a known US brand. Edited December 24, 2013 by kowhite
