Hobbit 3 is such a bomb, its only the 8th most successful movie with a dragon.
Pack it up.
Pack it up.
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
Production Budget: $127 million
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $17,300,000 62.4%
+ Foreign: $10,416,000 37.6%
= Worldwide: $27,716,000
Robin Williams second last movie
I don't know how good his last film is going to be, but being part of what's probably going to be the last Monty Python reunion isn't a bad note to go out on.

Honestly it's not the racial theme, sure some people complain on the internet but these are the same people that have no intention to see the film on the first place. The main problem with Annie is that it's a musical and the worst part of it is the music.

127m budget for Night at the Museum. Fucking lol.
JJ Abrams and Ridley Scott are two directors who, like I don't get it. They typically work with garbage scripts these days... maybe they enjoy the challenge.
But hey now, all hope isn't lost, Blade Runner 2 has the best script that Harrison Ford has ever read!

you can't put a price on sparks
Maybe Ford only read one script his entire life.

Pretty obvious they mean domestic. Even though it's a total cop out.
Box Office Mojo seems to think it has a shot at 1B but it really depends on how it does in China and if it has decent enough legs in the US to get as close as possible to 300m.
Irrelevant. People justify whitewashing because it "makes more money". If it doesn't make more money, then there's no reason to do it other than good ol' Hollywood racism. You shouldn't have to justify not whitewashing if there's no economic reason to whitewash in the first place.
Domestically GotG wins. And even then, it's looking like it'll be a close race to the finish line between GotG & Mockingjay (domestically).
Hey, let's just see how The Martian turns out first! Though I'm hoping JJ does great work with the next Star Wars.

Oh Ridley Scott, it really is delicious watching your movie bomb after you told all of your casting critics to get a life. Oh, and I suppose this is penance for the money I dumped into The Counselor and Prometheus.
Hope it doesn't make it to $200 million.

That's some straw man victory to hold on to.
I do wonder what it is that made this one have such a tepid opening. I haven't seen much marketing for it (well, outside of the obligatory London underground posters). Maybe it's that plus the fact it's been quite some time since the second one.
So it looks like $1 in every $10 spent in the domestic box office this year was spent on superhero films. If we count Big Hero 6, will be closer to $1 in every $8. Something to remember when we have 5+ a year starting in 2016.
#1 domestically has always been a thing. You act like that's not something studios brag about in their annual financial reports.
That said, we'll see. I think Disney is going to see that title swiped in January for the second year in a row. At least they can rest assured that they have 2015 in the bag.

I'm well aware of that, but we're not studio execs. Just seems silly to be so invested in rather GoTG will "barely" hold off HG, "domestically".
Then again, I do the harlem shuffle every time a washed movie like Exodus does poorly.
Transformers did? LOL
It's the GoTG. That ride seems to never end Lebron.
Actually, I think that GotG has a good shot at beating Mockingjay Worldwide. Not that it matters since Transformers won by $300M, and the Hobbit will take #2 by $200M or so.

Having watched Annie today there was a pretty big Helicopter-car chase that probably cost a fair bit. And the apartment its set in is very futuristic so that would have cost a lot. Obviously most of it goes to Foxx and Diaz
I'm sure Jay-Z and the Smith clan got a decent chunk of change, too, since they've been trying to get this made for years now. This new version was very nearly a platform for Willow Smith.
My eyes will get tired rolling at all the "Superheroes are ruining hollywood" thinkpieces

Was it good? 'Good for families'?
"Will?" We've already had some this year that are eye rolling-enducing.
I know, but those were light compared to what is coming. But I will just laugh and say "stay mad".
Nice. Does that include the ninja turtles too?

Whoah, didn't know Variety would say "Oscar bait", usually that's a derisive term
Would love to see Top Five, haven't seen Chris Rock for a while.

Ya, Mockingjay will probably end up at $340ish domestic. This is still going to be the worst first place domestic finish since 2007.
Interstellar hit $175M domestic today. Big Hero 6 should pass $200M either tomorrow or the day after.

Glad night at the museum flopped.
I work at a movie theater and I said that that the day after it came out for us.
Well, the weekend after New Years will basically be another holiday weekend.. and the dailies should be quite strong for all films until the 5th. I would say that it's a lock on beating Guardians and it may even exceed $350M. It should beat it internationally too. GoG definitely had a good run though.

A bit OT but are any interesting movies coming out in January? I realize it's the month movies are sent to die, I just thought there might be some glimmer.

Mann's black hat and probably a bunch of limited releases from december
Blackhat. That Black Sea submarine thriller could be decent, too.
