I'm more interested now. It should still do $100m+.

Yeah. People did not go see A Star Is Born with an R rating.

I figured it would be "R." The filmmakers had no intention of editing it even though apparently the studio wanted them to. Advanced WOM is great so reviews will really help. Trailer has been showing with every movie since it released. No way it's not a 100+ grosser. With your prediction half would be 58.5. Do you really think it will do 60 or below just because it's rated R?

Maybe I'm just the only person who thinks the movie looks way too light and goofy to be taken seriously by the adult R-rated crowd that came out for Star is Born. Plus October is a very different time to release a prestige-y, R-rated drama than the heat of summer.

I could be wrong (and it'd work out nicely with my prediction if I was!)

It definitely doesn't seem like a serious drama. Does seem more fun. Makes me think of Great Gatsby in a way.

I feel like Elton John is a Katy Perry/Bruno Mars type of pop star where their songs are hits because people like the songs, not because of the artist. I think Queen is closer to a Taylor Swift where people are huge fans and devour anything by them. I think this will make a big difference because technically Elton John had far more chart success than Queen ever did, but doesn't seem any better remembered.

They're absolute morons if they don't change the release date for Child's Play. Hell Christmas would be a better date. At least it takes place around Christmas and they can play up that angle. Annabelle is going to kill it. It was always going to but with that moving up to Wednesday it won't even have an entire week before that opens. If it doesn't move though I'm just happy to have the lowest prediction.

There's definitely something hilarious about 2 different killer doll movies, both deep into a franchise nonetheless, coming out less than a week apart, lol.

So a lot of those Top 5's will be wrong because of Pikachu. Me, David, and stuffp are still in it! WTF happened with BK? He's usually fairly pessimistic with trash movies but he put it as the #2 choice!!!

I was banking on a repeat of Transformers 07.

I guess Pokemon really can't expand its fanbase even with the crazy amounts of people who played Pokemon Go even for a little bit. Thought the trailer would be enough to convince them but it looks like it really didn't work. I really have no idea why.

Anyway, I'm kinda annoyed that Poms and the Hustle bombed so badly as well this weekend. Like honestly WTF haha.

It seems like these types of movies - whenever I think there's no way they do well in some of these games, then they get that average gross. And when I predict some generic average gross that these flicks normally get, $30-40m etc. they bomb to hell. Come on. :funny:

Uglydolls too, I think I may still get points, but not sure how other crappy looking animated flicks of yesteryear or even something like Wonder Park, grosses that much and then this one tanks. They both look equally bad.

Pokemon GO was a fad. Anybody should've been able to see it. And it wasn't because of Pokemon. It was because of the nature of the game. It could've just as easily been Transformers GO or Doraemon GO if they'd got in first. The same as Pokemon cards. That was also a fad.

Nah, you needed a base of characters for it to work.

Pokemon had at least 151 that many people knew to get it started. Nostalgia etc.

Jurassic Park tried it but that game is minuscule in comparison. Transformers and Doraemon? Like I said before, I doubt 90% of the audience for TF knew about the characters and the majority of those even now don't know them aside from Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. I don't even know if Doraemon has characters besides the titular character.

Hard for you to say what's a fad or not because it feels like you underpredict across the board even more than I used to do.

I can't believe that even mid range films can't even get anywhere near 40 million let alone 50. Hustle, Dog's Journey. Shaft is probably gonna tank at 35. Child's Play and Dora probably gonna tank too.

Looks like the top 4 will be some combination of Avengers, Lion King, Toy Story, and Spiderman (my guess is that order). 5th place will likely be SLOP2 or Aladdin. I'm rooting for a top 5 spoiler though. Hobbs & Shaw could break out to near 300m and take 5th.

Luckily I'm still getting points for Godzilla even though I revised my prediction upwards.

Trailer didn't look too bad, but no one asked for a sequel + bad reception.

Really sad that Avengers sputtered out so badly. Yeah, it's not like my new dom #1 was a safe prediction, but it could've been a lot closer to SW than Avatar.
