Ride Along 2 is going to be the film that takes number one from Star Wars, isn't it? Fuck my life, I would rather The Revenant did it.

Ride Along 1 was actually funny, you don't want people to laugh and enjoy themselves at the theater?

 

[Chamber]

I've already accepted the bet and frankly I'm tired of you people ignoring this!

My glorious booty comes at the high price of Avatar 2 beating the first worldwide. Y'all best be excited.

 

[Exodust]

Good!

So now that the craziness of The Force Awakens is behind us, BO-GAF's most anticipated future event is member created twerk videos two years from now...

Twerk bets are the future, and the future is now. Avatar bets are dead like pro keds.

This summer gonna see a lot of sad booties getting turnt out on Vine because of irrational bets made in this house.

 

[BronsonLee]

My booty is forever safe.

Based on the past few years... I'm most curious about how GAF reacts to BvS box office... in both directions. If it does well, if it does poorly, if itonly does decently.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Oh man, Batman v Superman is going to be pretty fun to track, I bet.

 

[duckroll]

BvS vs Civil War. Suicide Squad vs Doctor Strange.

 

[Anth0ny]

The release of Batman vs. Superman in general is going to make GAF a complete shitshow, let alone the box office numbers.

 

[kswiston]

Oh man, Batman v Superman is going to be pretty fun to track, I bet.

I am expecting a huge first weekend, but shit legs. Basically Man of Steel x 1.5-2.00

 

[Daemul]

Urgh, I'm not looking forward to the comic book warriors infesting Off topic more than they already do, shit is going to be bad. Mods please save us.

 

[duckroll]

Pray to Thanos.

Think legs can go either way, doesn't have a ton of competition in April so it may have a bit better legs

We shall see.

But you know it won't end with it's release... gonna be compared to Civil War... then Suicide Squad... X-men is in there

 

[kswiston]

Cap 3's opening weekend will be the worst for heckling. There's no way to avoid that.


I don't think that Suicide Squad or Doc Strange carry much in the way of expectations on them. As long as they don't bomb, I think discourse will be fairly civil.

I don't know how X-men: Apocalypse fits into things.

 

[duckroll]

I think with Suicide Squad and Doctor Strange the biggest comparisons will be how thw occult is handled by Marvel vs DC. So not much boxoffice fight there. Less expectations too.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

BvS opens on Good Friday, so there's gonna be a wave of ecstasy and crow shoveling from one camp after it posts a monster opening day... and another camp is gonna go ape shit when it drops 40% on Saturday.

 

[duckroll]

A movie about Superman, a Jesus figure, being rejected by his adopted people and crucified by the media. Opening on Good Friday. Snyderrrrrrr!

 

[Futureman]

Personally I thought remaking it was a terrible idea, like most people, but I can absolutely see why they made it. The first Point Break remake went on to spawn a mega franchise by itself, they were probably hoping this would do the same.

What was "the first Point Break remake"? Can't find any info online.

My ass > Space wizards.

The Fast & The Furious.

 

[gamz]

What was "the first Point Break remake"? Can't find any info online.

To make money.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I dont wanna make a thread for this and since it is about boxoffice... But did the Robocop Remake make enough money that we would get a Sequel?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Nah, I think we'd have heard something by now if they were looking to pursue that further.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Nah, I think we'd have heard something by now if they were looking to pursue that further.

Thats sad.

Yeah, I know its a PG-13 remake of a brutal and raw masterpiece, but since I saw it before the original I could get with a open mind of it and I kinda liked it. I only hated the design of the new Robocop.

The original is far superior of course, but different enough that I can like booth.

 

[darkinstinct]

Twerk video bet?

Why would I make a bet when I don't know if the movie will be any good? Right now it can do 3 billion and it can make 800 million worldwide.

 

[Toothless]

It could've been Revenant, Star Wars fans!

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS

Thank goodness, Ride Along 2 looks more enjoyable *sneaky eyes.*

 

[Chamber]

BvS has no real competition until The Jungle Book hits on April 15th. Man of Steel had 2 $200M movies open in it's 2nd week.

Why would I make a bet when I don't know if the movie will be any good? Right now it can do 3 billion and it can make 800 million worldwide.

There's nothing logical about twerk video bets, thats the whole appeal.

 

[Vyer]

People in the US have NO RIGHT to shit on China's taste in films. Not when movies like God's Not Dead was a smash hit in the states.

I don't think that was a 'smash hit'

That remind me but The Jungle Book looks really solid so far. I dont care for Disney live action but I'm kinda excited for Jungle Book.

 

[javac]

Pray to Thanos.

Thanos is on his throne, all's right with the world.

 

[RastaMentality]

The Revenant was full at my theater and the next showing was sold out. I really don't know how this is doing so much big business but the Leo thirst is real.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Twerk video bets?

Bronson...I left you in charge while I was gone...

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

Oh boy, I didn't realize how many $3 billion prediction for TFA were made on GAF....

 

[generic_username]

The Revenant was full at my theater and the next showing was sold out. I really don't know how this is doing so much big business but the Leo thirst is real.

Because movie is good and Leo is a boss!

 

[3N16MA]

What happend in here?

This is all Bronson's fault.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Oh boy, I didn't realize how many $3 billion prediction for TFA were made on GAF....

I told you guys how fun a read that thread was gonna be in early January.

I told no lies.

I can't control these savages!

 

[gamz]

Right? Makes you appreciate the Titanic and Avatar runs. Without having the benefit of a known IP. Absurd.

 

[Kagari]

Awards + Leo + positive word of mouth.

And everyone's already seen Star Wars twice.

 

[linsivvi]

Yeah I think China is a very interesting market, and it's definitely true that there are a lot of unknowns both in terms of dealing with the regulation aspects to even do business there, and successfully connecting with the audience. It's very fun to discuss the ifs and whys about such a big uncharted space.

But do we really need all the off hand remarks about how Chinese audiences don't care about quality every time a movie that's well liked doesn't do as well there? Or the assumption that pandering to Chinese audiences like they are idiots will make a movie successful? (Pro-tip Iron Man 3 tried this and it backfired!) I don't this these things are necessary or helpful to the discussion.

Preach.

Surely you're underestimating God's Not Dead 2.

The original is far superior of course, but different enough that I can like booth.

The best thing I can say about the robocop remake is that at least it wasn't the total recall remake.

 

[wachie]

duckroll bringing that pain on se!f acclaimed film GAF. Too good!

 

[RastaMentality]

Awards + Leo + positive word of mouth.

I wonder if Leo not having an Oscar yet really helps his awards movies gross more.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Yeah. And the Total Recall is a movie I wouldnt watch if I get money for it

 

[gamz]

Leo is boxoffice gold.

 

[kswiston]

$29.5M 3 day estimate for The Revenant. Should be over 36m for the 4 day

 

[firelogic]

THR's Box Office Report 4 day estimates:

1. Ride Along 2 $39.5M
2. Revenant $35M
3. TFA $32M
4. 13hrs $20M

 

[Interfectum]

Lol 13 hours didn't even come close to Murcia Sniper
