- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckHenry CavillAmy AdamsBatman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.Weekend: 157 million
Domestic: 370 million
Worldwide: 1.2 billion
It's Batman vs freaking Superman. We have all been waiting for this since 2005, when superheroes started to be cool. The combined forces of these two should wreck up multiplexes, and there is an outside chance of 2 billion worldwide, although that is highly unlikely. Tracking is below expectations, though. - DirectorDavid AyerStarsWill SmithJared LetoMargot RobbieA secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.Weekend: 145 million
Domestic: 310 million
Worldwide: 765 million
The villain counterpart of Justice League, Suicide Squad should have been an outright failure. But if the 2 insane trailers were anything to go by, this is gonna be outright entertaining and memorable. Also, it's gonna be a pretty nice popcorn flick, so...300 ? - DirectorBabak NajafiStarsGerard ButlerAaron EckhartMorgan FreemanIn London for the Prime Minister's funeral, Mike Banning is caught up in a plot to assassinate all the attending world leaders.Weekend: 26 million
Domestic: 75 million
Worldwide: 180 million
While it is redundant to say the least, if the marketing campaign manages to pull it off and it doesn't get completely run over by the March slate, the actioner will impress to justify it's hefty budget - DirectorsAlessandro CarloniJennifer Yuh NelsonStarsJack BlackBryan CranstonDustin HoffmanContinuing his "legendary adventures of awesomeness", Po must face two hugely epic, but different threats: one supernatural and the other a little closer to home.Weekend: 50 million
Domestic: 160 million
Worldwide: 460 million
Awesomeness is back, and let's hope the marketing is better this time around. With no competition until Zootopia in March, it should hold up well against Deadpool - DirectorJustin KurzelStarsMichael FassbenderMarion CotillardJeremy IronsCallum Lynch explores the memories of his ancestor Aguilar de Nerha and gains the skills of a Master Assassin, before taking on the secret Templar society.3 Day Weekend: 38 million
5 Day Weekend: 50 million
Domestic: 145 million
Worldwide: 440 million
Michael Freaking Fassbender stars in this, hopefully, faithful adaptation to the once mighty franchise, and while there's a possibility that it sucks, it should still get *beep* load of money. Opening one week after Rogue One is a ballsy move, and if it manages to be good, it could avoid being a horrid bomb
Please be good.
Oh god the first trailer. It was awesome. Would alter my predictions just a little higher.
A reasonable comparison to this one is Legend of Tarzan. That opened to an impressive 38 million 3 day-debut and a 45 million Memorial haul, which should be reasonable for Assassin's Creed - DirectorsByron HowardRich MooreJared BushStarsGinnifer GoodwinJason BatemanIdris ElbaIn a city of anthropomorphic animals, a rookie bunny cop and a cynical con artist fox must work together to uncover a conspiracy.Weekend: 75 million
Domestic: 260 million
Worldwide: 790 million
The follow up film in Disney Animation to Frozen, Zootopia boasts one heck of an idea, and if the impressive track record is all to suggest, Zootopia is one awesome film. - DirectorTim MillerStarsRyan ReynoldsMorena BaccarinT.J. MillerA wisecracking mercenary gets experimented on and becomes immortal yet hideously scarred, and sets out to track down the man who ruined his looks.Weekend:
3 Day: 90 million
4 Day: 110 million
Domestic: 250 million
Worldwide: 610 million
The R-rated Deadpool is finally here, and through the Comic-Con reaction, Deadpool is gonna be the most faithful comic book film ever, with cursing, sex, blood, guns all over the place. As long as his mouth ain't sewn up, I'm good. The R-rating is a bit of a crapshoot at this point, but with the viral marketing campaign at full speed, Deadpool is gonna crack 600. With no clear adult competition until London Has Fallen, it's bound to 200 domestically - DirectorRobert SchwentkeStarsShailene WoodleyTheo JamesJeff DanielsAfter the earth-shattering revelations of Insurgent, Tris must escape with Four beyond the wall that encircles Chicago to finally discover the shocking truth of the world outside.Weekend: 30 million
Domestic: 70 million
Worldwide: 200 million
Why oh why do you have to split the weakest book of the series in two parts ? The series isn't as well received as Hunger Games, or Harry Potter, or even freaking Twilight, and *beep* that's saying something. Another fall is likely. Schedule-wise, it is placed 1 week before BVS so it's inevitably gonna be crushed - DirectorsAndrew StantonAngus MacLaneStarsEllen DeGeneresAlbert BrooksEd O'NeillFriendly but forgetful blue tang Dory begins a search for her long-lost parents and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way.Weekend: 135 million
Domestic: 400 million
Worldwide: 1.0 billion
The rather unnecesarry sequel to the Pixar masterpiece that was Finding Nemo will probably still make *beep* of money. And while the plot is unknown at the moment, there is a good chance it will still be one heck of a family fare - DirectorsAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsChris EvansRobert Downey Jr.Scarlett JohanssonPolitical involvement in the Avengers' affairs causes a rift between Captain America and Iron Man.Weekend: 200 million
Domestic: 445 million
Worldwide: 1.43 billion
The Marvel counterpart of Batman vs Superman, this supposedly stand alone Captain America film has turned into somewhat of an Avengers 2.5. If audience is into the idea of Captain going up against Iron Man, then this will at least match Age of Ultron. It's going for a billion. - DirectorJustin LinStarsChris PineZachary QuintoKarl UrbanThe crew of the USS Enterprise explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a new ruthless enemy, who puts them, and everything the Federation stands for, to the test.Weekend: 60 million
Domestic: 170 million
Worldwide: 430 million
The second Star Trek in 2013 was somewhat of a surprise when it opened and closed significantly lower than the first Star Trek. Nonetheless, it might just be a bump along the way, and with the third Star Trek taking the adventure out into the far far away, there is a chance that it might be the series most ambitious yet. Marketing has been muted, so far, and there was little boost at CinemaCon. Beyond that, the trailer is irksome to say the least. Little hype and a lack of marketing boost should make this film gross slightly lower than the two previous films - DirectorBryan SingerStarsJames McAvoyMichael FassbenderJennifer LawrenceIn the 1980s, the X-Men must defeat an ancient all-powerful mutant, En Sabah Nur, who intends to thrive by bringing destruction to the world.Weekend:
3 Day: 97 million
4 Day: 110 million
Domestic: 280 million
Worldwide: 840 million
Bryan Singer promised that this would be the most explosive, thoughtful and all-around best movie in the franchise, and with it opening on Memorial Day, it should at the very least, open in the same line with The Last Stand. But, the showdown of the year awaits, as Alice Through The Looking Glass is also opening, so it should be nice to see who comes out on top. My money's on Apocalypse. Plus, free publicity from Deadpool. There's an outside chance that it won't make it to a billion, as the marketing so far has felt...boring
Update: the reviews were predominantly mixed. But I'm holding my grounds - DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsLiam HemsworthJeff GoldblumBill PullmanTwo decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?Weekend: 70 million
Domestic: 185 million
Worldwide: 580 million
The sequel is here, and it's bigger, better, and...Will Smith-less. Still, with the hype surrounding the production stage and the return of Jeff Goldblum, it should perform decently. A nice comparison iss World War Z, which opened in June, and was highly anticipated as well. Indenpendence Day should at least match that film domestically Internationally, the film should at least gross about 600 million, considering the disaster that was 2012 managed to make 600 back in 2009. Opening one week after Finding Dory might be a disadvantage, but it can hardly matter when the second trailer was surprisingly fun and nostalgia-filled. It could go either way, to be honest - DirectorTim StoryStarsIce CubeKevin HartTika SumpterAs his wedding day approaches, Ben heads to Miami with his soon-to-be brother-in-law James to bring down a drug dealer who's supplying the dealers of Atlanta with product.Weekend: 30 million
Domestic: 80 million
Another Ride Along film, you say ? Why ? How ? Who green-lit this *beep* ? A drop similar to Paul Blart is fitting to this insanely stupid sequel. - DirectorDave GreenStarsMegan FoxWill ArnettTyler PerryThe Turtles get into another battle with their enemy the Shredder, who has acquired new allies: the mutant thugs Bebop and Rocksteady and the alien being Krang.Weekend: 50 million
Domestic: 170 million
Worldwide: 400 million
Casey Jones is in it. Bebop and Rocksteady are in it. Motherfreaking Krang. You *beep* this up and I will *beep* you like a pig Michael Bay. - DirectorNicholas StollerStarsSeth RogenRose ByrneZac EfronWhen their new next-door neighbors turn out to be a sorority even more debaucherous than the fraternity that lived there before, Mac and Kelly team with their former enemy, Teddy, to bring the girls down.Weekend: 40 million
Domestic: 105 million
Worldwide: 265 million
The insane sequel to the R-rated hit Neighbors, Neighbors 2 should gain some profit as proven through the likes of Hangover and Hangover 2, another R-rated hit series that had an insanely good first film. Marketing so far hasn't been niche, and there is a chance it will suffer the same fate as Ted 2, but it probably won't bomb that bad as the reviews have been rather positive - DirectorJames WanStarsVera FarmigaPatrick WilsonMadison WolfeEd and Lorraine Warren travel to North London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by a supernatural spirit.Weekend: 42 million
Domestic: 115 million
Worldwide: 305 million
Conjuring 2 is here, and if Insidious has proven anything, it's going to outgross the original film, while it will also descend on quality of course. But there is a chance it won't, as it opened on the most awesome weekend of the year, featuring Warcraft and Now You See Me 2 - DirectorJon M. ChuStarsJesse EisenbergMark RuffaloWoody HarrelsonThe Four Horsemen resurface, and are forcibly recruited by a tech genius to pull off their most impossible heist yet.Weekend: 26 million
Domestic: 70 million
Worldwide: 235 million
On the weekend where the world will rush to the cinema, who's gonna be the odd one out ? There is a chance that it would be Now You See Me, but if it has something new to offer, or even if it intends to trigger the audience's minds, it could surprise. The marketing campaign hasn't exactly been noteworthy - DirectorPaul GreengrassStarsMatt DamonTommy Lee JonesAlicia VikanderThe CIA's most dangerous former operative is drawn out of hiding to uncover more explosive truths about his past.Weekend: 68 million
Domestic: 180 million
Worldwide: 440 million
Matt Damon's brainwashed vigilante on vengeance is back, and 100% without Jeremy Renner. As the Bourne series has proven, Bourne 5 will impress and be a box office hit, if you assume that Suicide Squad doesn't completely wipe it out.
We're one month away from the release of Bourne, and it's worrying me that the buzz is almost non-existent. If Jason Bourne manages to ride the brand name, it still wouldn't match the height that was Ultimatum. Gonna retreat my prediction just a bit, something just higher than Supremacy's gross - DirectorDan TrachtenbergStarsJohn GoodmanMary Elizabeth WinsteadJohn Gallagher Jr.A young woman is held in an underground bunker by a man who insists that a hostile event has left the surface of the Earth uninhabitable.Weekend: 30 million
Domestic: 74 million
Worldwide: 120 million
Abrams is doing it again. Spectacularly announcing the film 2 months before it's scheduled, there is a small chance it will only be grounded home film with an apocalyptic monster touch thrown in in reshoots, but with all the secrecy and brilliance in it's marketing campaign, with the Super Bowl spot completely unannounced, it could pull another Cloverfield opening. - DirectorJon FavreauStarsNeel SethiBill MurrayBen KingsleyAfter a threat from the tiger Shere Khan forces him to flee the jungle, a man-cub named Mowgli embarks on a journey of self discovery with the help of panther Bagheera and free-spirited bear Baloo.Weekend: 70 million
Domestic: 220 million
Worldwide: 620 million
The spectacular trailers, the impeccable cast, the fun family friendly touch and the golden schedule date (2 weeks after BvS and 3 weeks before Civil War), Disney has a lot working in its favor. Assuming that BvS loses steam by it's third week, and the following week's Huntsman sequel doesn't pull the audience out, Jungle Book may or may not touch 200 gold, but I'm betting it will - DirectorsClay KaytisFergal ReillyStarsJason SudeikisJosh GadDanny McBrideWhen an island populated by happy, flightless birds is visited by mysterious green pigs, it's up to three unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.Weekend: 27 million
Domestic: 75 million
Worldwide: 380 million
This is my total crapshoot. The closest example is Penguins of Madagascar, but that was released on Thanksgiving weekend, the most family-friendly weekend of the year, whereas Angry Birds opens just before the one-two punch that is Apocalypse and Alice. It still depends on whether the quality will be up for shoot or not, but I think this will, at the very least, reach 300 - DirectorJames BobinStarsMia WasikowskaJohnny DeppHelena Bonham CarterAlice is appointed to save her beloved Mad Hatter from deadly grief by travelling back to the past, but this means fatally harming Time himself, the noble clockwork man with the device needed to save the Hatter's family from the Red Queen.Weekend: 40 million
4 day: 50 million
Domestic: 125 million
Worldwide: 520 million
There is absolutely no reason for this unnecessary sequel to exist. The first movie was a colorless affair with unlikeable characters and delirious storytelling. Plus, the insane battle with X-Men Apocalypse, which will likely end with Alice's inevitable loss, should diminish it's box office prospect spectacularly. Worldwide though, Johnny Depp is still a major star, so it should wind up with at least 500 - DirectorDuncan JonesStarsTravis FimmelPaula PattonBen FosterAs an Orc horde invades the planet Azeroth using a magic portal, a few human heroes and dissenting Orcs must attempt to stop the true evil behind this war.Weekend: 30 million
Domestic: 102 million
Worldwide: 440 million
Will it finally be the time when video game movies are taken seriously ? I hope it will. Opening early June, heavy publicity, a lot of hype and some very positively received TV spots that have wiped the divisive taste of the trailer are reasons why I hope this won't bomb all that bad. And with Duncan Jones at the helm, I really hope it will be good. - DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerOwen WilsonPenélope CruzDerek and Hansel are lured into modelling again, in Rome, where they find themselves the target of a sinister conspiracy.Weekend: 17 million
Domestic: 35 million
Worldwide: 50 million
To me, I simply think this is an awful cash grab that will be sexist, racist, unfunny, predictable and utterly unwatchable. Ben Stiller hasn't been the most successful comedy star in a long time, and with the movie's trailer boasting from zero to minimal laughs, I expect this to bomb miserably
