    After the second round, there's a lot more potential of movies having a gross of anywhere from $10mil-$150 mill.... I'll talk about this one, because I'm avoiding it for that reason... Arrival. What the heck is going to happen there? It could be lost between Fantastic Beasts/Dr. Strange and make $25 mill, or it could get nominated for a bunch of Oscars, and cruise on to $100 million. So hard.
    Completely agree. That is a tough one to guess where its gonna land. A LOT of this season's releases are tough to figure.

    Youre a tease, Winston. For a minute I almost thought I'd get it.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    That was DEFINITELY going to be my next pick, Duke. I don't get the Power Rangers thing, but it seems to huge.

    Alright, this is really tough. The five potentials I'm looking at could all easily pass the $100M range or underperform significantly. But considering how well-known the brand for the former is (and also apparently breaking Force Awakens trailer's "most views in one day" record this week) and having the luxury of knowing just how fucking good the latter is, I'm going:

    Henry I was going back and forth on that and Power Rangers. I am was leaning towards the BOMB side of that movie. But I was wrong with Ghostbusters 2016.

    My next pick is based around the studio's success of marketing. Based on the budget, they need this movie to earn big.

    Which do you mean? If they continue to market Arrival well and the reviews get across just how singularly excellent it is (and it eventually picks up some awards steam in between) then it'll be fine. Word of mouth will be super strong too.

    If you mean Fifty Shades, then I agree there's a good chance people might already be fatigued by it. If anything the biggest factor might be how comparatively successful the soundtrack is this time around. I mean, I still hear "Earned It" and "Love Me Like You Do" everywhere over a year and a half later. As much as I do love Miguel, him simply covering Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" for that new trailer ain't gonna cut it.

    This looks unbearable to me and it opens the same weekend as Doctor Strange, but I'll take a gamble on.
