You spend too much and think too little.

reply

no, I am actually quite frugal and think all the time. most people cant keep up.

reply

JoWilli does it again. The guy is top notch with his box office statements!

reply

thanks bruh, you are too kind...

reply

It will gross nowhere near 1 billion. More like $500m max and even that's generous.

reply

I dont care what anyone says, Tom Cruise is a Legend.

reply

yeah, LESS than 2 full weeks!

reply

wow this is amazing!

reply

Give the man credit for not deleting his inaccurate prediction like most people on here who cant stand/admit to being wrong.

reply

Yeah fair play, it did better than I thought.

reply

good point, that JoWilli did the same thing, other people mocked him but he stood firm in his prediction.

reply

Nice prediction there lol.

reply

Lol! Imagine being you.

reply

This reply just keeps getting funnier.

reply


It grossed 1.5


reply

1 billion? I somewhat expect this to flop. The nostalgia factor might save it somewhat if it's lucky. But I think it won't attract much of the marvel/starwars/pixar crowd. Those films gross a billion.

reply

The hype is real, its going to be a huge summer blockbuster.

reply

No flop here, it should easily cross one billion, if not more.

reply

Yes, I'm surprised. Certainly no flop.

reply

Impressive.

1. You said you expect this to flop and gave a reason. You didn't confidently proclaim it, with no supporting arguments or nonsense, like so many people do.
2. You didn't insult anyone who disagreed with you or attempt to assert superiority.
3. You admit that your expectation was incorrect and your surprise at such.

If only all online discourse could be this way.

reply

Ha! If only :) Thanks for the kind words.

reply

this didnt age very well. lol

reply

lol? I already said I was surprised about how well this film is doing a month ago. What is your goal in this thread? You are so weird.

lol

reply

I am weird! no goal, just like trying to predict a movies box office.

reply

Under development forever, there probably should have been sequels in the 90s. Expectations may be too high for most. No doubt, people that had their first date at Top Gun will have a reunion date for Maverick, all these decades later. I’d say it gets $450m.

its gonna be Yuuuge!

reply

*lifts up pinky finger like dr. evil* 1 Billion Dollars!!

reply

1 bill is confirmed....

reply

It has to gross $900m to match the original. People want entertainment, there's been so little last 2 years.
The trailer is good, as long as reviews are too it will gross over $700m. NTtD and F9 did.

reply

It looks like F9's highest grossing country was China. No wonder Cena groveled.

I thought I heard Top Gun was banned in China (below thread), but it's not easy to get a clear answer from Google. I don't think the film will gross a billion, especially if China is out, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. Younger audiences prop up box office, and a movie described as a Gen X wet dream (a dad beating Millennials and Zers) may not grab the spandex summer crowd.

reply

I'd love it to make that much. Sadly it probably won't even make half as much as Jurassic World 3 despite Top Gun most definitely looking like it'll be a much better film.

reply

this didnt age well either. lol

where are my trolls at? lol

reply

Lol, I’m so glad this film dominated at the box office, what a fantastic summer blockbuster it was.

reply

yeah, it was an awesome movie. I saw it 3 times at the theater. its going to be a long time before we get another great movie like this...

reply

I thought the same thing about the new Halloween movies, but the majority of people in the audience were under 25. This might appeal to young audiences as well.

reply

Horror appeals to everyone. It is said the genre is the star.

reply

No, it doesn't. Horror is in the lower half at best in popularity and box office. Action, adventure, thriller, and comedy are all bigger genre stars than horror. I don't know if Top Gun will reach 1bil without China, but this will shatter any horror film, b/c a big action pic with Tom Cruise is a much bigger draw, and weekend projections already suggest it will be a hit. And young audiences don't have to be Top Gun fans to show up for a tent pole like this. Just like they don't have to be fans of the 1st Jurassic Park to show up to the latest installment. They are intentionally made to work as standalones, and action translates to the foreign market with ease b/c it's never hard to follow.

Argentinian being wrong. What a surprise.

reply

the frog dont lie...

some people say this might make a billion...

reply

It's already made $1.4 billion.

That's before digital and blu ray sales.

First the Falklands, now this.

You should quit while you're behind.

reply

Suck my dick, bitch

reply

Says the one who shamefully deleted his comment. Don´t think there is more of a "b*tch" move than that.

reply

It was removed by a mod.

I see now that you're the little bitch butthurt about a comment I made elsewhere. Ignored for being a stalking creep 🖕

reply

It wasn't removed by a mod. You deleted it about a minute after I replied to it.

You're embarrassed, and humiliated, because you said nobody young will watch Top Gun.

Admit it. Man up, don't be a little bitch.

reply

Yeah "deleted by a mod" literally months after it was made. lol
Guy is already a proven liar, I think you are expecting too much from him.
