14. The BFG
15. The Legend of Tarzan
16. The Secret Life of Pets
17. Jason Bourne

Let me know if I missed some.

LOL. Sparrow strikes again.

Nothing wrong with either of those being "candidates". Sure, they probably have <50% chance of getting to $150 mil, but so?

Jason Bourne.

Moana is a candidate and Doctor Strange is a lock.

The Secret Life of Pets is not a lock. It is very, very likely, but The Good Dinosaur proved that absolutely no original animated films are locks for 150 million.

The Secret Life of Pets will be moved to candidate list. I don't mind that because personally I don't see it a lock for $150m.

Deadpool slices $150m mark
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15

Deadpool surprised even highest expectations and got to this list which most thought would be great as its final total and not 4-day total.

Upcoming Films : None till March

Leaving the List : For now I would not put Kung Fu Panda 3 in this list

Had it not been Zootopia next weekend KFP3 would have been sure to reach this list. I think it still has a slight chance to get to this list.

Zootopia records $150m admissions
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15
2. Zootopia - 12 - March 15

Zootopia brings a great WoM and makes $150m in just 12 days. It also raced past the next list.

Upcoming Films : Batman vs Superman

Leaving the List : Kung Fu Panda 3

Batman v Superman battle reviews but still sneak into this list comfortably
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15
2. Zootopia - 12 - March 15
3. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 3 - March 27

Batman V Superman didn't overly impress over the fight-night weekend but it does enough to easily cross $150m mark. It should get to the final list soon enough as well.

Upcoming Films : The Jungle Book

I wonder if The Jungle Book will take more than Zootopia's 12 days to reach this mark. The later though had a beastly hold in its second weekend falling only 31.6%

Looks like The Jungle Book will reach earlier than Zootopia.

Jungle Book will reach 150 million on Saturday. Well before Zootopia.

Wow!! NEWS FLASH.

The Jungle Book runs deep and catches $150m
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15
2. Zootopia - 12 - March 15
3. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 3 - March 27
4. The Jungle Book - 9 - April 23

The Jungle Book impresses and gets to this mark in just 9 days. Another movie from Disney will join this list next weekend.

Captain America sprints towards $150m worth of Civil War
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15
2. Zootopia - 12 - March 15
3. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 3 - March 27
4. The Jungle Book - 9 - April 23
5. Captain America: Civil War - 3 - May 8

Captain America: Civil War opens great even though a little below over-blown expectations and crosses $150m in just 3 days tying with BvS.

Upcoming Films The Angry Birds Movie, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, The Nice Guys

I really doubt Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and The Nice Guys will get there. The original Neighbors movie did crawl to this mark and some people see huge opening for the later.

Well then don't put them in the list!

I don't know what is it with deleting the sentences/meaning and WOKJ. I gave my reasoning in the next line which you conveniently omitted.

Because Algren being sarcastic in joining Flava'ds outrageous club doesn't make it a 100 million candidate? If I were to make an outrageous club like The Darkness 100m+ and someone joined sarcastically, would it make it a candidate? No because me and that person would be ignoring reality.

Jesus who gives a shit. There is a precedent for a non blockbuster film doing 150 million. It's one dam post! Don't give it another thought and move on. We all know it's a bullshit post. You commenting on it and doing some silly way to reason it out is far more annoying. You're posting the same dumb thing in 5 threads

I don't think Flava made that TNG club sarcastically if you feel that than you either don't understand sarcasm or your disagreement is clouding your judgement.

No, he was trying to be gutsy. Algren was sarcastic.

I did not join sarcastically.

So according to zwackerm if someone is making a gutsy club then don't believe it will happen. People make clubs for jokes so at the least next time when zwackerm creates a club its bogus.

Finding Dory catches $150m worth of fishes
$150 million movies of 2016
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Deadpool- 4 - February 15

3. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice - 3 - March 27
4. The Jungle Book - 9 - April 23
5. Captain America: Civil War - 3 - May 8
6. Finding Dory - 4 - June 20

Finding Dory becomes the third fastest movie of the year to get past the mark beating Deadpool. Its also the first animation movie to do reach the mark in just 4 days.
