I will be so happy if a Bayformers film can't even make more than BvS, but in 2017 I just can't be that optimistic until the numbers are all finished coming in

DM3 might fall victim to this trend of busted up franchises, but I think it might be ok. I think Illumination Studios have made some sort of blood pact with an Elder God.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Bumblebee movie is suppose to release bext year and start production soon too. Don't know if that's going to happen unless Jim is able to reign the budget in at $120M

We're gonna be in for one more Bayformers at least because of China. I do think they'll cool on that prior idea of what was it 4 more sequels or something crazy like that. Bay needs to just wrap it up.
WW will be past both in one week.

I don't know about that. I don't expect a reboot but the Bumblebee movie might serve as their equivalent of X-Men First Class.
Knocked out of the billion dollar club.

I forgot about that. Might be the best approach then.

If they ever do close out the series they need to go heavy on it being the final film and the nostalgia.

Heh, that tie is a result of Disney projecting a 10% Sunday drop for Cars 3. It's usually not so obvious which film will come out ahead with actual.
ha yeah, nice try Disney. Also, I think Paramount is being too generous with that 20% TF Sun drop too.

I expect DC's next movies after JL to be Aquaman, Batgirl, GCS, WW2, The Batman, Nightwing, SS2, MoS2 or Black Adam and Flash/Cyborg in that order.
I'd watch Transformers on Ice.

Naw. It is still incredibly lucrative.
It is in the same situation as cars where it can get carried by merchandising.

If they do that Paramount won't have anymore geek properties to make money off of.

Isn't Indy owned by Lucasfilm / Disney now?

The major franchises under Paramount's banner are:
And that's basically it.
- Transformers
- Star Trek
- Cloverfield (this is probably stretching the definition of "major")
- Mission: Impossible
And that's basically it.
Yes. Paramount distributed a lot of things that they didn't own the IP to.

Paramount releases this year:
Baywatch (bombed)
XXX 2
GitS (bombed)
Monster Trucks (bombed so hard they called it a failure before release)
Rings
Transformers 5 (worst domestic opening performance of the series, and definitely not getting a billion like they wanted out of it worldwide)
Cloverfield and mother! are all it's got going for it the rest of the year

Looking at "Superhero Origin Movies" right now on Mojo and it looks like WW could easily (or will, rather) slide into 2nd place.
Is there any likelihood of her topping Deadpool, and then Spider-Man?
Seeing a Wonder Woman film as the #1 grossing origin story for a superhero would just warm my little heart.
