What does Sony have other than Ghostbusters and MiB?

Also Jump Street, though they're crossing that over with MIB soon effectively destroying that franchise in an attempt to revive MiB. (Which honestly might be for the best with how the Jump Street movies are made, thematically. I wouldn't want them to keep milking that franchise personally because it would miss the entire reason it's so great)
 
Fox HAS to be banging their heads against the wall for not paying Will Smith whatever the hell he wanted to be in this movie. I believe we'd be having a totally different conversation today if they had snagged him.

Yup. While the number of mega-blockbusters seem to be going up, the number of films cracking $100M are trending downward

2012
Over $300M - 5
Over $200M - 11
Over $100M - 31

2013
Over $300M - 4
Over $200M - 13
Over $100M - 35

2014
Over $300M - 3
Over $200M - 13
Over $100M - 33

2015
Over $300M - 6
Over $200M - 10
Over $100M - 29

2016 (First 6 months)
Over $300M - 6
Over $200M - 6
Over $100M - 9

It might be difficult to get another 20 $100M+ films for the remainder of the year. If 2016 misses that mark, this will be the third straight year of decreases in the number of films reaching that level of success.

I only see 6 films that I would say are fairly certain to pass $100M during the remainder of the summer. ID4R and The Conjuring 2 have a decent shot out of the stuff currently playing, so that's 2 more, for a total of 17. Even if there are a couple of surprises in the remainder of the summer (and Ghostbusters doesn't flop since that's on my certain list), we need 10 films from Sep-Dec to hit that mark to tie last year.

I'm not. From the very first trailer the general talk around town was "Where's Will Smith? Why make it without him?".

Well yeah, but you would think it would've at least struck a nostalgia hook much like Jurassic World.

Then again, JW had Pratt and Dinos - the latter of which had been left to the backburner of summer blockbusters until then. Meanwhile, I guess it makes a point that alien disaster porn has been oversaturated since ever.

The most surreal part about my outing to IDR was that the three trailers were for Swiss Army Man, The Birth of a Nation and Hands of Stone. My friends and I looked at each other, wondering if we were seated in the wrong theater and we were about to see any other movie besides IDR. Or maybe the theater was making some kind of mocking meta-commentary: 'Here are movies where some effort was put into the plot, acting and structure of the film. This is what that looks like.'

Just a sign that when you're done watching forgettable dreck like ID4, there are movies you should actually spend your money on.
 
I'd really like to see what Hollywood's response to all these flops/underperformers is. All of them were sequels/remakes/adaptations and therefore "safe" for the average movie exec.

You just started a war.
 
In all seriousness has there been any good word of mouth for Tarzan?

Ghostbusters ain't out yet. It's the last beacon of hope for them.

You guys better not give Chris Pratt credit for Magnificent Seven unless it makes well in excess of $100m. Denzel is good for $75-100M on his own. Even when paired with Chris Pine or pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds.

Suicide Squad too.

I have no idea what trends studios will pull from this tentpole season. One of the bigger hits was a cartoon turned Live action, two traditional CG cartoons were also massive hits, two comic book movies disappointed, while Marvel's universe held solid, Deadpool was a surprise hit but we'll see how SS does, and a video game movie was a massive bomb in NA and a massive hit in China.

Of course.


I mean, the only reason I mention Pratt in regards to JW is that he's easily the most bankable star in that film these days. No offense to Dallas-Howard or Khan.

Gosh, Denzel totally starred in films with those two. Have to look up if he co-starred in a Jai Courtney or Avatar-guy movie.
 
My dad pretty never went out to the movies, he would just ask "is Denzel in it?" He'd make the trip for The Equalizer or 2 Guns or Flight if Denzel is the lead. Otherwise, he could wait.

He would probably watch Tarzan if Denzel was there. Thats where Warner Brothers fucked up!
 
Tarzan Trailer looked interesting until that super stupid scene where millions and millions of animals were running towards that town, which made me swear that I wont watch this movie unless it comes to Netflix or something like this.
 
Rush deserved better than it got, first time since Apollo 13 you could be happy about a Ron Howard movie

also, on David Yates, he might be the next spielberg?
