Box office predictions


You'd be a fool to bet against Universal/Illumination. Personally, I can't believe how popular their stuff is.

Anyways...this is gonna be even more red-hot than usual being a holiday film and having all of November and December to rake in the green stuff (poor Wreck-it Ralph 2 LOL).

OW - $135 million
Domestic Total - $480-530 million
WW - 1.2 billion

Yes...this will probably dethrone Frozen.

Boxoffice.com is predicting 315 million domestic. It seems a bit low but we'll see.

It looks like they peg Wreck It Ralph 2 for 200 million domestic.

Fun fact...The Grinch's budget is 80 million. Universal/Illumination always keep their budget's tight. Wreck It Ralph 2? Rumoured to be 200 million! As usual, Disney's budgets are so high they need a worldwide smash to make a profit.

reply

Is that budget for production only or including advertising. If so then there could be real trouble because Disney goes crazy with advertising budgets as well.

reply

I don't see the all-ages appeal. Just $200M domestic.

Universal and Illumination are seeing green as The Grinch anticipates to earn between $55 million to $65 million when it launches on 4,140 screens. The animated comedy is expected to dominate over The Girl in the Spider’s Web and Overlord, the two other wide releases hitting theaters this weekend.

Damn queen.....Nice call.....


This is Will be another Excellent fail to add to this list....

Lets see...

We Got You Predicting-

A 150 Million + Opening Weekend for JL---ONLY Missed by 57 Million
A 149 Million OW Weekend for The Last Jedi---ONLY Missed by 72 Million
A 120 Million OW for Black Panther----ONLY Missed by 82 Million
A 85 Million + OW for Ready Player One----ONLY Missed by 32 Million

and Now It seems your heading for A 70 to 80 Million MiSS on The Grinch....Forecasts right now are between 55 to 70 Million for The Grinch....good, but hilariously no where near your 135 Million OW prediction....

Now most couldnt imagine doing anything worse than MISSING by 70 or 80 Million, But hilariously you somehow made it worse...

you just had to let your deep hatred for Disney get the best of you and You just had to Throw out "Its gonna beat Frozen"...

again This makes me almost more happy than Your awful 135 Million prediction....

The fact that Disney's Success with Frozen bothered you so much you Prematurely had to make this thread to claim "It was going to Be Dethroned" bringing me so much joy....and then that fact that we now know The Grinch isnt going to get close to your expectations and wont be Sniff Frozens WW total Will keep me smiling for a while....

bottom line....

You didnt just give a ALL TIME awful prediction....you then somehow made it worse by revealing your jealousy of Disney's success with Frozen, and by doing that, Its gets even worse now that your going to have to live with that Jealousy now the Your "Great Hope" of the Grinch Dethroning Frozen has went down in RED HOT flames(Wink*Wink....get the RED HOT pun?)

Bump


lolol

no seriously lololololololool

No seriously bill...you need to check out the thread I started on The Nutcracker board with just you in mind.


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

reply

Bump!!!



PS.....

When starting a call out thread...Make sure the person your calling out actually cared or even gave a prediction on that movie.....

lol NO ONE other than you gave a prediction on The Nutcracker, NO ONE cared....I certainly didnt....

Why You put me in the title is A mystery.....I think it goes to show just how much I bother you...

anyways, the results are ....The Grinch is heading for a 67 Million OW....

a good result, but again Hilariously no where near your Prediction of 135 Million....

In a way this is your WORST MISS so far....

even with The Last Jedi when you MISSED by 72 Million , at least the didnt MISS by 50%....You predicted a 149 Million OW for TLJ, It ultimately made 220 M....again you were stunningly off, but at least not BY HALF

I guess you could argue your Black Panthers MISS was as bad, You Predicted 120 Million on OW and It hit 202 M.....you were off by 82 M and almost 40 to 45%....BUT NOT 50%

here though, with The Grinch, Your going to be off near 65 to 70 Million but IMO what makes this your WORST MISS yet is ....your prediction is Hilariously going to come up 50% short of The actuals....The Grinch literally ONLY Made HALF of what you predicted...


and dear god for your other predictions,

Domestic Total - $480-530 million
WW - 1.2 billion

Yes...this will probably dethrone Frozen.

^^^^
for these....I mean this is just TROLLING GOLD....

lol your easily going to MISS on The Grinch's Domestic total by 200 M

You'll Probably MISS on Its WW total by 400 Million+

and to my Great JOY you're going to have to continue living with Disney having The Highest Grossing Animated Film of All Time for A Long While(Maybe Forever)....Now Its entirely possible Frozen wont be That film, I could easily see Toy Story 4 or Frozen 2 DETHRONING it next year...but again to your Horror, those are BOTH DISNEY FILMS...So Disney Is going to have the highest grossing Animated film for years to come and Mabye forever as Disney Easily dominates The Animated Genre

bottom line.....IMO this as a whole is your worst Prediction you've ever given...You simply gave way too specific Predictions, so If/When They MISSED you were going to look Like a gigantic idiot...

and again what really make this IMO your worst prediction is whats at the heart of this trolling thread....Its clear the sole reason you made this thread is because IT KILLS YOU that Disney as the #1 animated film of all time in Frozen....You Pre-maturely made this thread to deal with the anger you feel at the success Disney had with Frozen, I guess it made you feel better to claim "The Grinch would DETHRONE It"

to know thats was at the heart of this thread, and to now Know that YOU KNOW, The Grinch has zero shot at DETHRONING Frozen simply makes this My favorite trolling fail of yours....

No seriously bill...you need to check out the thread I started on The Nutcracker board with just you in mind.

^^^

I also started a thread on The Nutcracker board with you in Mind.....seriously you should check it out.....

lololololollolololoollool

no seriously check it out, IMO it Will ruin your day and Possibly your entire 2019

reply

No seriously bill...you need to check out the thread I started on The Nutcracker board with just you in mind.

^^^^

^^^^

Please Keep making threads with "Me in Mind".....they result in by far some of your most brutal and painful humiliation

somehow it gets worse....

Of course your horrific Box office prediction on The Grinch is bad enough,,,You Missed By Hundreds of MILLIONS....Missed by 65 Million+ On Its Opening....

Your prediction The Grinch will Dethrone Frozen is an all time failure....

But it somehow got worse....

Wreck it Ralph 2 is heading for a 94 Million Opening Easily better than The Grinch, making your Dozen or more predictions/guarantees that The Grinch would beat WIR2 just more embarrassing failures....

yep queen Poor WIR2....instead doing exactly what you predicted for The Grinch...Dominating November and raking in MORE green stuff than The Grinch

reply

Ummm...bill? That projected 94 million is TUESDAY thru SUNDAY.

LOL

You saying that it "beat" the Grinch's 3-day opening is as bad as you pointing out how Disney is "beating" Illumination because they have 12 of the top 20 films of all-time but Illumination only has 5. Never mind that Illumination has only produced 9 films in it's whole history while Disney and Pixar have a combined over 70!

Dummy.

reply

Yeah, Queen's prediction in the OP is towts terrible.

reply

True...I missed the mark on the totals BIG TIME.

BUT...I did NAIL my prediction of the Grinch doing serious damage and soundly beating Ralph Breaks the Internet...with a budget 100 MILLION DOLLARS LESS.
