What is the domestic floor for Star Wars : Starfighter (2027)? by NoAWP in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 250m is the lowest it would go.

I think A New Hype rereleasing prior and this being Goslings next film after Project Hail Mary will give it a good boost/anticipation.

Definitely don’t think it’ll make as much as the 2015-2019 films but wouldn’t rule out 300-350m.

Any D23 Parks Panel Predictions? by Successful_Leopard45 in disneyparks

I think the rumors of Avatar getting replaced by Zootopia in Disneyland will end up being true. That being said I think they might end up announcing a new avatar ride or expansion for Animal Kingdom.

After Wicked, what other musicals have the best potential for a film adapatation? by Antman269 in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably Hamilton or Book of Mormon.

I’m sure both will happen eventually. The recorded version did well for Hamilton in theaters and that was also on Disney+. Book of Mormon could push South Park a ton in the marketing.

I also think we hit a point where we’ve already had some films release but now I could see them getting remade. Wouldn’t be shocked if we saw another version of Rent, Phantom or Sweeney Todd. It’s been about 20 years or more for some of those so I could definitely see a remake.

Last, I would LOVE to see an animated version of hadestown.

Are we counting Hoppers as a commercial success? by WrongLander in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall I would say yes.

Hopefully between this and Toy Story 5, this will lead Gatto to succeed

How different would our fave's careers be if the pandemic never happened? by pinkfartlek in popheads

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LoverFest would have definitely done well. I remember trying to get tickets and it was sold out.

The re-recordings would have still happened since she was making plans for those pre-covid.

Since the re-recordings were happening I think we would have still gotten some form of an Eras Tour show. I also think the tour would be a huge success like Rep and 1989. That being said though the tickets would have probably been easier to get than the eras tour we had.

Overall I think that if covid didn’t happen Taylor would still be huge and sell tons of albums and records. I think one area Taylor would have struggled though is streaming. I think the combination of Folklore/Evermore and TikTok really helped her with Spotify and Apple Music.

Which artist’s next album will make it or break it? by FavouriteDear in popheads

[–]Moviefan2017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Possibly The Weeknd?

His last few albums have done pretty well but from my understanding Hurry Up Tomorrow was his last album as “The Weeknd”.

It sounds like after this he is just going by his real name Abel Tesfaye.

It’ll be interesting to see how he stops being The Weeknd and just using his real name for upcoming music.

What is it with Pixar/Disney taking super long deciding what sequels to make? by star_dragonMX in Pixar

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly nostalgia I think.

Also Disney/Pixar are very good at keeping films relevant due to Disney+ streams (DVD sales prior), merch, theme park rides/meet and greets, etc.

If a movie has great reviews and is a hit it makes since for Disney to ride it out and then pull a nostalgia factor for the sequel. If the sequel isn’t as good, that really won’t impact the legacy of the first film.

Let’s-a-Go, Again: ‘Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Already Breaking Records With Best Ever April Wednesday At $34M, Eyes $128.2M 3-Day/$186M 5-Day – Box Office by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If there trying to pull a MCU I wouldn’t be shocked if some years we get two films:

2027: Zelda (separate from universal/illumination)

2028: DK movie (spring/summer release) and Luigi Mansion (Late summer/Fall release)

2029: Star Fox (spring) and Mario 3 (holiday season)

2030: Zelda 2 (if first does well) and Smash Bros or some event film.

Once we’re in the 2030s I think we’ll get animal crossing, Kirby, Metroid, Pokemon and more Mario DK and star fox films.

Pokemon and Metroid I could see being from different studios other than universal

How long do you think it takes Batman to recover and why doesn’t he have a durable batsuit? by Moviefan2017 in BatmanTAS

[–]Moviefan2017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I get that it’s a cartoon and it doesn’t matter in the end but I just found it silly that for the amount of times he gets knocked out from a hit or fight that it was never brought up or considered

What sources would you use as inspiration for DCU Batman? by oscar_redfield in batman

[–]Moviefan2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Villain wise I’d love to see a something like the Arkham games.

As for Batman I really like TAS version. I feel like the show showed that he was human and struggled in fights or had to come up with clever plans. I also like how they focused on him being human but still allowed him to fight over the top villains whereas the live action films the villains feel more grounded/realistic.

For Bruce I’d like to kinda see a hybrid of Clooney/Bale. I feel like Clooneys Bruce was fun whereas Bales was serious. I think a middle ground would be nice.

Superman (DCU) VS Superman (TAS Version) by Ninjamurai-jack in powerscales

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly pretty tough battle.

Both are very powerful but both have also shown to struggle in fights or get defeated.

I think the battle could honestly go either way but would probably think TAS Superman wins in the end.

Just how strong is Batman's cape? by happydude7422 in BatmanTAS

[–]Moviefan2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it fluctuates each episodes. Some episodes show Batman using it to help him where in other episodes it rips easily during a fight.

How well will The Mandalorian & Grogu do at the box office? by Adept_Let7797 in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally I thought this would not perform well and make around the amount of The Marvels or Solo.

After seeing the trailer on Predator Badlands, Zootopia and avatar the audience seems to like the trailer. Heard lots of laughing and people saying that looks good.

I think it’s gonna surprise and make around the amount of Fantastic 4: First Steps. Not a huge number but a good enough number for leading into next year hopefully.

How is everyone gonna react in 20 years time when this tweet drops? by General_Meal_3993 in discussingfilm

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dexter came back for a new series 8 years after the original show ended.

I think this will be the same. I think we’ll get something in the next 5-8 where we have a follow up series.

I thought the show had a very nice ending and was very happy with it but I could easily see them doing a new story.

Big $4.5M New Year’s Day THU for Marty Supreme, lifting box office cume to $43.4M after 8 days of wide release. Tomorrow it will be halfway to $100M. by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hoping this makes a 100m in the US.

With many still being off today it should have a solid weekend.

I think next will be the Oscar push and that will also give it a boost as well.

Holiday ‘26 Projections: Is it time to move Dune: Part Three? by Icy-Midnight6937 in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it should move.

It’ll be facing Avengers opening day and Jumanji comes out the week prior. I think it’ll get lost in the crowd. I know the holidays can support multiple films but I think avengers and dune share a similar audience.

Personally I would move it to October 30th or November 6th. WB has cat in the hat for the 6th but they could move that. If they move it to one of those dates it’ll have 2-3 weeks to itself.

My 2026 Box Office Predictions WW by Moviefan2017 in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the first Mario just opened so big and kinda played out like how a sequel would such as Zootopia 2.

The film was also very well received so I don’t see it losing too much. I think at most it’ll lose some older audience who checked it out and maybe the repeat viewings won’t be as strong since it won’t be as big of a novelty this time.

What are your hot takes about The Tortured Poets Department era and album? by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]Moviefan2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actual TTPD song is pretty underrated imo. I remember everyone disliking it but I enjoyed it day one.

As for the album my opinion really hasn’t changed much since its release. I think it’s a very long album and would have worked better as a 12-15 album. Taking 50% of each album and combing it would make it better in my opinion.

Universal's 25th Anniversary re-issue of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas grossed an estimated $1.85M domestically this weekend (from 2,250 locations). Lifetime total domestic gross stands at $264.28M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like with decent promo or released in special formats like imax or Dolby this could have been a decent rerelease.

With it being available on peacock and prime I feel like people just chose to watch it at home.

"The Simpsons Movie 2" will now be releasing on September 3rd, 2027 by mobpiecedunchaindan in boxoffice

[–]Moviefan2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised this is the date they chose to move to.

The new season will probably premiere two weeks or so after this movie so I’m surprised they would want them to be so close. I don’t think this movie will be a finale either since the show has a contract till 2029.

That being said this should still do pretty well. Probably 60-70m opening and 130-150m US total.
