Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Not a 100...but I don't see it flopping. It's got buzz and it looks so much different than the crap that's been out. But it's such a crowded summer i guess anything is possible.
Will any big budget non animated movie be a huge hit this summer?

1939's Jesse James is what kicked that off. Horse went over a cliff and died. Pretty shocking. I watched the movie a few years ago and was likeis that the scene that made the government pass laws on animal abuse?
I'm afraid it's going to take a very long time before they understand that, if ever. Or their answer is probably going to be "GIVE 'EM MORE SUPERHERO MOVIES THEN!"
Most of Hollywood is lazy.
"brand recognition!" The BFG is a brand, homie! Roald Dahl's 4th or 5th most famous book that falls between age ranges and doesn't really have a specific target audience is a brand! They didn't even really push the Spielberg name for that one.
Tarzan is a "brand." Ask a kid who Tarzan is, and he might say "... is that the ape guy?" They literally put out a big budget smash hit Jungle Book movie 2 months ago with Mowgli, who is basically kid Tarzan. That studio had the rights to Tarzan (which has to be public domain at this point, no?) and said "fukk it, let's throw $100+ mil behind i, maybe we'll squeek out a profit!"
"We have a bunch of really excellent tv pilot scripts this year." "Yeah, well we need brand recognition, just make a black tv version of an old John Hughes movie. How could that fail?"

Yeah its weird but its true. In theory I like movies, but only a small percentage seem interesting and then a smaller percentage actually end up enjoyable.
Theres a reason barely any legit movies stars still exist other than The Rock. Hollywood needs to shake it up...

Let him? They had a chute system rigged to PUSH him off.
The horse freaked out (rightfully so) and drowned.

Ghostbusters came, sucked, and flopped.
Haven's heard anyone go nuts over Bourn.
Star Trek was a well received hit, I guess. there's one!
Suicide Squad is getting shyt on, but will rake cash. Wouldn't be shocked at the massive 2nd week dropoff though.
Ben Hur is gonna make like $10 mil opening weekend.
I gotta be honest, this is stretching beyond the summer. I'm excited for Dr. Strange, Fantastic Beasts and Rogue One, but haven't been blown away by anything I've seen so far.
This may very well be the WOAT year for movies.

All im excited for is Passengers and we still don't have a trailer yet. Its august. That worries me
good call. great script, completely forgot it was being made.
I'm pretty "who gives a fukk" about Rogue One and Dr. Strange and I'm a "Disney fanboy." Everyone jizzed over the trailers, and i was like "people are gonna dislike these movies, no question."
what made you think people are going to dislike either one of those. Rogue One is star wars. Dr. Strange is inception with magic fukkery and good actors. How much money they will make is one thing but the trailers have given no indication that they'll be subpar films
b/c whike Rogue One is Star Wars, it's not an episode, and i just think people are stupid. They're gonna have to make the final trailer 2 minutes of Vader to get Episode money. I really think these Star Wars Stories are going to be liked but not cherished or anything. I don't give a fukk about a young Han Solo either to be perfectly honest. I'm also tired of the damn Death Star, and while I'm still seeing it, i don't give half a fukk about the stealing of the blueprints.
and Strange just doesn't look great to me so far. I'm just
on it. Everyone talkin about how those Inception style shots with the buildings looks incredible and i don't agree. I predict it's the lowest grossing Marvel movie in a while. Less than Ant-man, but that machine is so well oiled, maybe regular folk want in off the name alone. I'm sure I'm wrong.
I agree with the Han Solo flick, and really any other "young X" movie, but Rogue One will have the juice after the next trailer. I don't think anyone is expecting Force Awakens money though.
