Post Which will do more The Girl on The Train or The Accountant?
Both movies seemed to present a mystery and are opening very close to each other.





Which of these two movies will do more?

I think the comparisons to Gone Girl won't be in favor of The Girl on the Train which could lead to poor legs.

The Accountant has a bigger star power and the trailer good and its something that should bring in good adult audience resulting in good legs.

My pick is The Accountant.

Sparrow slipped up. Usually he waits until there is a consensus, then posts a summary of that as his prediction. But he's gone rogue in this thread!

I feel comparisons to Gone Girl would make this look lesser version of that and thus critics will give lesser ratings. The same for audience when the WoM is its ok but Gone Girl was much better, casual/on-the-fence audience would wait for Home Media release.

He only believes what he posts could be right. Also tree no point in arguing with him, he will twist it into something stupid or turn it into something negative. For instance this sentence summarizes, if I post late I copy from others and if I post early I am anyways an idiot, so....

Girl on the Train (the book) is a huge seller I believe. I see that translating to over $100m at the BO.

The Accountant should have moved further away. I suspect it will do sub $75m.

The studios have a knack for overloading Sep/Oct with a ton of adult appealing films resulting in mediocre grosses for almost all of them. Never changes.

Too many assumptions.

So it looks as if me and Jack Sparrow will be correct.

And Magnus and MadGez will be incorrect.

Look what's coming back!

Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons & Cynthia Addai-Robinson all returning For 'The Accountant 2.

It made $155M worldwide ($24.7/$86.3 domestic) in 2016 however, it was the most rented digital film of 2017!

I feel like this could do big business but it's coming from MGM this time (Amazon) so let's see if it gets theatrical or not.

It will do less than the original. The original is mostly forgotten.
