Essential Box Office Tracking, Predictions, Results And Discussion (Predator falls,Jack Black Surprises)

[Dominic Brehetto]

I think Hotel Transylvania got greedy and eyed the Summer box office. I liked the first one, haven't seen the second, interested in how the 3 does.

We'll see if it pays off.

I thought they should have stayed where they were at, late Septmber, early October.

Doesn’t look like it’s hurting it or helping it. First 2 opened to $48 and $42 this is tracking right near that

Solo has opened in its last territory Japan and it flopped there as well.

It’s at $380 Million, $400 is officially not possible.

Biggest flop of the year. Biggest flop of the decade.

Solo was insanely mediocre.
I knew it would be a dud just off of them casting that horrible British dude to play Han. It was just one bad decision after another once they made that cardinal mistake.

They should have just left lord and miller alone.

That’s how I’ve always felt about him. He works best as part of an ensemble or at least having someone like Kevin Hart,Sean William Scott etc to bounce off of. He’s always been kind of dull when he’s in more serious fare and/or is left to lead a film.

I have always found the Rock's box office performance in movies where he is the above the title star to be odd and hard to predict.

Look at the movies where The Rock was the de facto star of the show and try to figure out why some were more successful than others:

Think he does better when he is part of an ensemble or has a comedy partner to bounce off of? Well explain why Baywatch was such a disappointment when it followed that formula.

Skyscraper is looking like it will perform middling at the box office yet San Andreas was also a disaster movie where The Rock was running around trying to save his family from whatever disaster was going on and it was a massive hit.

Planet 51 was an animated movie with the Rock as the lead voice actor and it flopped...Moana was an animated movie with the Rock as lead actor and it was a huge hit. Of course that most likely had more to do with Moana being a Pixar movie.

The Rock stars in a remake of a beloved kids movie and the results couldn't be more different: Race to With Mountain struggled at the box office while Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was insanely successful.

The Rock stars in a movie based on a video game and you get a mega-flop like Doom on one hand and a hit like Rampage on the other.

The only thing consistent about him is that when he comes on board an already established property and becomes the star of it the movie makes bank as evidenced by how successful Journey 2 and GI Joe Retaliation were.

So what’s everyone’s predictions for Venom and Aquaman?

Both flop

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Both flop

I mean $ wise

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

I’m gonna go with


Venom $500 Million - I’m not sold yet on how good it will be but the trailer caught fire,venom looks dope in design and venom is a draw.

Aquaman $600 Million - It’s hard to say since we haven’t had a trailer yet so I may revise this up or down but I trust James Wan

So what’s everyone’s predictions for Venom and Aquaman?

Venom I could see doing 100+ mill domestically. It will pretty much have two weeks to itself, before Halloween drops.

Aquaman is coming out in Dec.. Dec is loaded.. I dunno depends on word of mouth.

I think there’s a chance it gets moved up with an announcement at comic con. It would be the smart move

 

[Ziggiy]

All I know is the only two movies i’m REALLY excited tor the rest of the yesr are Black KKKlamsmen and Widows. Black KKKlansmen has a lot of good buzz going for it so I hope it performs solidly in the 20-25 million range

I think it has a decent enough shot.. only competition would be Mile 22
