Lucy made $463M WW on a $40 production budget. That's a pretty good draw..
Too bad she is wooden. Hell winter soldier was the only film where her being monotone as shit helped her out.

Under the skin.

Lucy making that much is beyond implausible, and a clear cut sign people just plain like SJ. Which makes it even more ridiculous Marvel won't put out a Black Widow film. Between SJ and Marvel and the female lead thing, it'd fucking clean up at the box office and be comparatively cheap to make.
Yet the sad reality is it's the largest budget for a female directed, female led blockbuster.
It's sad but that's probably what it'll be.Wonder Woman:
40% RT score, $600 mil worldwide.
Justice League:
10% RT score, $750 mil worldwide
Well I didn't say anything about Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman's potential gross so, no?Are we really going to compare Captain Thormerica starring Gal Gadot to a pop-fueled stylized movie with Harley and the Joker?
For all intents and purposes, Gadot is a newcomer and hasn't really had the opportunities to showcase her acting chops, to be quite honest. We'll see I guessDo you seriously just compare Chris Evans to Gal Gadot? The man has no range but compared to her he's motherfucking Daniel Day Lewis.
WB probably would scrap their current DCEU plans if that happened.Justice League:
10% RT score, $750 mil worldwide
Lucy making half a billion worldwide got both Ghost in the Shell and Valarian made this year.
I wonder if Valerian can outgross the Fifth Element unadjusted.
So now that Rogue One has a lock on the Domestic Crown, and Civil War more or less has a lock on the Worldwide Crown (China pending), I went back and took a look through our earlier predictions thread.
One I ran 3 months ago with no completely right guesses: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1288085&highlight=
3N16MA's thread from the beginning of the year. He didn't specify if people were guessing worldwide grosses or domestic grosses, so there's ambiguity to hide behind, but most people were off base. I haven't made my way through all of the pre-BvS release posts yet though.

Both Spider-Man: Homecoming and Guardians of the Galaxies Vol. 2 will make more than Justice League. Easily.
The most expensive female directed film is Kung Fu Panda 2 at $150M. Unless you want to count co-directors. Then I think it is technically Jupiter Ascensing.
I am really excited for Dunkirk but that film is 500 mil, at best. Even then that is probably overly optimistic.
Wonder Woman:
40% RT score, $600 mil worldwide.
Justice League:
10% RT score, $750 mil worldwide
If WB stumbles through 2017 with two more sub-billion dollar films that critics don't like the DCEU is effectively over.
I would say the outlook for $750+M looks like this:
That's a pretty great line-up of blockbusters from a BO perspective. Looking at the release schedule, though, August looks horrendous this year.
If Nolan wanted to do a DCEU movie in which every DC in character died in the first act and only the Jospeh Gordon Levitt BatBoy dude lived WB would kiss his feet and ask him how much money he wants.
I feel like Dunkirk deserves better than long shot odds considering Nolan's last two original films averaged $500M overseas. That's a hell of a pedigree.My take on your list
Long shot (aka Deadpool/Gravity 2017 edition if it hits $750M)
Monster Trucksjk

I'm also ready to say right here and now Beauty and the Beast will be in the top 3 highest grossing films of the year.
Those were sci-fi films with big name stars. This is a period piece British war drama with no stars.I feel like Dunkirk deserves better than long shot odds considering Nolan's last two original films averaged $500M overseas. That's a hell of a pedigree.

True, but Dunkirk's getting a bigger push than any WW2 film since Pearl Harbor. It got a teaser a year in advance and an IMAX preview; WB's treating this like a major event filmI have a hard time seeing it over Interstellar, and that was helped out by $123M from China, which is very unlikely to happen for a EU theatre WW2 picture. It would have to perform like Saving Private Ryan adjusted for inflation. The markets most interested in a European WW2 film are also the ones that have had the least growth since SPR.
True Detective didn't turn Matthew McConaughey into a big name, and we also spent last page talking about how star power doesn't matter.Those were sci-fi films with big name stars. This is a period piece British war drama with no stars.
Really not impressed with Rogue One's hold this weekend. There's a strong possibility Sing is above it this coming weekend.Weekend Actuals are up. The 4-day weekend numbers are below. It seems like Monday was underestimated for most films.

Ragnarok will also beat JL.
Thor 3: The Dark World is just a Hulk film in disguise. Hemsworth needs all the help to carry the film.
Too bad his all-star brother Liam did not get the role.
What are the odds Doc Strange reaches 233 Domestic?
It might be a stretch. What is at $233M?
I remember you saying 233 gives it the best legs for a CBM in 2016.
Is the new Transformers being filmed in China again? Isn't that partly why the last one ended up making so much even though domestically they're down every film?
