Amph The 2016 Box Office Bloodshower

I concur, because pets are so cute and they do the darndest things I wish there were more movie about how cute dogs and cats are

 

Suicide Squad Projected to Have Biggest August Debut Ever - IGN News

 

cause it's edgy and self-aware and irreverent and we've never seen anything like it before except for Deadpool and to a lesser extent Ant-Man and Ghost Rider and Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Iron Man and also Jack Nicholson's take on the Joker and Tim Burton's whole conception of Gotham

 

I think Ben Hur will be the biggest hit of August.

 

We're still going on the Thursday, right?

 

Was off by 10 million re. Secret Life of Pets but Ghostbusters ended up in that 45-50 million range I picked. Horray for guessing somewhat accurately!

I think bad news for GB and, to a lesser extent, Pets next weekend with the one-two punch of Star Trek Beyond (FX spectacle audience) and Ice Age Part 75 (animated family movie) probably hacking into the top two audience share

 

Fixed.

 

Ice Age should crush Secret Life and Dory outside the US. It may even do Zootipia numbers abroad.

 

Bad Moms out next weekend, that's a huge draw for female and comedy demographic and Ghostbusters by the 29th will be 2 weeks old. I think GB is on target to play less than a female skewing comedy and more like a standard FX epic which would mean probably 20 mil next weekend at at 10 mil the next. I'd guess the movie makes about 95 million in North America by the end of it's run.

 

Jungle Book is the only big 2016 movie I've seen in theaters so far. However, I would like to see the new horror movie remake of "Darkness Falls" opening this Friday.

 

Light Out is an effective little horror movie, though predictable and a remake of "Darkness Falls". With a production budget of less than $5 million, it's going to make $23-24 million this weekend.

 

Damn you….damn you all to hell….

…ok yours was better.

 

barring some kind of global pandemic in December that kills everyone before they can get to the movie, it looks like Rogue One is going to hand Disney the lock for the top three, maybe top four highest grossing movies worldwide in 2016. It's hard to imagine anything else making it on the list at this point.

Suicide Squad? meh.

 

MATT DAMON 5 made about 60 million this weekend. That's a pretty good opening compared to the other MATT DAMON'S, right? It's a better opening than Legacy. As bad as the movie potentially is (I haven't seen it yet) it shows the franchise still has some gas left.

 

I saw a trailer for Matt Damon in The Great Wall, and I thought to myself: what the bloody hell is he doing in this movie?

 

He's the son of Nathan Algren.

 

I think he would have to be Nathan's great great great ... great great grandfather. It's set in ancient China during the days when China built the Great Wall to protect their homeland from giant green lizard men.

 

I haven't seen Last Samurai, it was just a cheap gag. Lay off me, Ken!

 

I thought it was a really excellent gag. I'm a Yuuge fan you know.
