Disney has had a crazy stacked year for theatrical releases. Next year will be a lot lighter for them.
Wkd Box Office - 7•12-14•19 - Sam Raimi Swings into Theaters with Alexandre Aja and an Alligator as World Prepares for the King's Return
- Thread starter Schlorgan
- Start date
- Status
WW84, Tenet, Dune, GvK, Bad Boys For Life, A Quiet Place II, Birds of Prey, The Kings Man, Bloodshot, Fast & Furious 9, Bond 25, Top Gun: Maverick, Jungle Cruise, Morbius, The Conjuring 3.
In before this bites me in the ass next year but I agree too. Disney's 2020 on paper right now isn't as strong as WB's. Now by this time Sunday that could all change but WB's movies have a higher potential.
I enjoyed Zatt's optimistic posts in the last couple of months and I would rather read their stuff than the weekly reminder from the same 3 negative Nancies that there is "no way Endgame will beat Avatar". At least Zatt never made it personal or mocked others for their diverse views (from what I have read). Thanks for believing and keeping the dream alive. ZattMurdock
Either way people will still be calling them a "monopoly"
And if I had to pick my most anticipated movie, I guess it'd have to be...Birds of Prey
Helps that it's coming out in February
We live in a world where Trump is President and the Alvin & The Chipmunks franchise grossed a combined $1.4B at the box office. Nothing's impossible.
Same reason LOTR was hyped going into 2001. It's is quite possibly the most iconic sci-fi book series of all time. It is to sci-fi what LOTR is to fantasy.
Wait, is this still actually happening?
The Invisible Man (2020)
And Universal is involved?
Interesting director, solid cast. Huh.
And not at the expense of Pokemon fans, just in general :P

Oh yeah for sure. Just saying that it would make me laugh a lot.

I expect articles comparing their gross from 2019 and asking with a straight face "Is Disney Dead?"
My prediction being "on point" was in reference to the estimates which is indeed what I estimated then the actuals came out and shocked everyone which is the reason why we had that "fudging" discussion for a bit. Me estimating, along with what a lot of us do here in this very thread, is just what we do. Now, I NEVER said I've been correct all of the time, I've actually in fact have said that I have been wrong in the past but I can count that with one hand.
I've been doing these BO predictions for 1 year and thus far have seem to be very good with my estimates unlike someone who claims to have 20 years of BO experience who makes outlandish claims backed by opinions.
Try harder.

Holy cow, how many directors are they gonna go through for this movie?
Oooohhhhhh shit, almost forgot about Familia 9. Changing my answer now.
Will it or wont it go through more directors than The Flash?
Im sometimes tempted to dig up old posts to rub into people's face. Fortunately I'm too lazy for that so I ignore these people instead. Life is much better.
and it will one day backfire into my face if I continue to dig up old posts lol
oh hey what is this, numbers in a box office thread? unpossible.

The Eternals
Black Widow
Dune
Tenet
Birds of Prey
WW84
I don't know, but I'm still kinda cold with everything else but Dune and the MCU films. I need to see some trailers to get hyped, maybe we'll get something this weekend.
Well he'll make a nice speech about stopping Zatt. But then RDJ will actually be the one that stops him
2020:
Dune
Wonder Woman 1984
In the Heights
Bill and Ted Face the Music
...
Bond 25 with reservations (burned twice in a row now)

She's getting more costume changes than spideyCan't wait
That's bae
I know nothing of Dune, but Villeneuve is directing it and thats almost enough for me to go see it.
It's actually fan art though I wouldn't mind seeing more costumes.

I'll probably skip this one as I'm waiting for the Dune movie with my favorite actor: Sting.
BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC
This might be the film I'm most hyped about
The Lynch Dune really didn't work for a lot of reasons, but it had nearly 100% perfect casting. My only real beef was with Kyle MacLachlan (who I like in most everything) as the lead. Too old and too wooden.
I love Lynch's Dune. My favorite "grand film malade".
And that soundtrack is so good.
Still super excited for Villeneuve's version though.
Oooh, intriguing. I say why not.

So your "on point" predictions were for... the estimates? lol ok
If not, where was your follow up post saying "Oops guys, I was way off this weekend"?
I just find it funny and ironic that you go after ZattMurdock for his Endgame predictions when your own Endgame predictions have been universally wrong.
This is probably the part where you tell everyone that you've seen Endgame three times to prove that you don't hate Endgame.

My estimates aligned with the estimates, that is what I said. No one was expecting EG to do as well as it did this last weekend.
I don't need to follow up every estimate with a "oops I was wrong" if I was wrong, people can clearly see what others post. But to entertain you, I estimated sub $1m internationally and the estimates for that came in at $1.1m (actuals aren't out yet) and I said I was wrong for that.
My EG predictions have been UNIVERSALLY WRONG. Interesting.
As far as me seeing EG 3 times, would you like my AMC apps history? I can provide those for you, along with Captain Marvel. I saw that 3 times as well. I also saw US 2 times, Aquaman 2 times, Bumblebee 2 times to name a few. I watch movies I like with different groups of friends, not to hard to believe right?
But please point to my universally or equally wrong predictions while I also double/tripled downed on them.
I don't think anyone on the internet can rightfully claim that they called right on Endgame all the way through. If they do then they are straight up lying. Even the so called box office experts on other forums and film enthusiasts who do this as their actual job. I have never seen the collective internet be so consistently wrong before overall when it comes to box office performance.... except when Avatar was releasing.
I appreciate the long term bet that PhoncipleBone made about Endgame vs Avatar. At least there were stakes in that prediction and many people got involved ie. putting their money where their mouth is (well sort of, not actual money but the point remains). I didn't bet in it because I wasn't confident either way to be honest, when it was put up I would have bet in favor of Avatar because I too like most people had pegged Endgame doing around 2.5 billion. But I certainly would not have come in and added myself to the bet after it had that monster opening weekend, it wasn't really fair and I certainly would not have added myself after the re-release. I am fine observing this phenomenon from a distance, counting down the days until the big record is broken. Some people say they can't wait for this to be over but this is a historical moment so let's try to live in the moment more. No need to quibble over exact numbers/predictions with each other, every one gets some stuff wrong and right (though let's not gloat about it either).

Box office is serious bussiness
That's an interesting take on Kraven.
That's an interesting take on Kraven.
If I'd have bet when the thread went up, it would have been Avatar all the way. i didn't think Endgame would necessarily beat Titanic let alone get to Avatar's neighborhood. I dislike Titanic and am "meh" on Avatar outside of the visuals, but I can't deny they they are both legitimate phenomenons. Endgame passing Avatar is impressive be it doesn't really change what Avatar did.
For sure. Actually this is my hope, that Namor is the antagonist in BP2.
Kraven is also in a weird position, as there's three directors/producers (Ryan Coogler, Jon Watts and Avi Arad) who apparently want to use Kraven for their own movies.
Sonic, Tenet, Birds of Prey, Fast 9. Maybe The Eternals if it the trailers pique my interest.
Personally, I see Kraven as a Spidey villain first and foremost, but I imagine Coogler would probably do a better job at bringing him to life.
