 Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner You might want to remove that Expendables 2 review and accompanying photo.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner Talk to me. Why do we not come up on google searches for box office? Or come up real low?

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner Before I joined, I would always google "box office predictions for M/d to m/d",, and this would always be on the first page of results.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner I wonder how long it takes for Excel to lose his motivation.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner Among others, MadGez, biggestgeekever, Magnus, publicenemy#1, trixster, and Alex Y. also think Jurassic World can do $140m. So it's not just "Excel predicts".

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner I just read Excel's article. He needs to proofread. It's not a competently written article. It seems to have an agenda ("We are better than Box Office Mojo and other sites") which professional resources should not have. Sorry Excel, but if you ever wanted to make your grand plan work, you'd need to hire a writer. Someone that can structure your views and make them suitable for its audience. Your article is "forum level" at the moment.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner Quote: Though films like MAD MAX and SAN ANDREAS overperformed expectations, neither proved to be a large scale hit (neither films total will come close to AVENGERS opening weekend, for instance). There are at least three mistakes in this paragraph alone (depending on your tolerance level). Quote: The brilliant box office minds from The World Of KJ, who in years past have successfully called many box office break outs and dissappointments, This is just horrible. And THE World of KJ? Since when did the site have "The" preceding it? You wouldn't see this type of mistake on The Box Office Mojo and TheBoxOffice.com. I actually didn't read it in full. The first three paragraphs were just too badly written for me to want to continue. It doesn't flow well. You try and jam too much into a sentence and/or a point. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner The "of" in World of KJ should also not be capitalized.
And it should be "large-scale hit," not "large scale hit." Unless you are describing an oversize "scale hit".

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner Though if you're serious about this I would highly recommend not writing anything about Ant-Man or BvS for the near future. That is where you lose your credibility and become more of a fanboy, like me.

Re: WoKJ Needs A New Owner I think our next article should be about the power of millennial/1990s babies. They're about to show off their box office clout with Jurassic World. Next up is Independence Day 2.
