This should have been released in August or September.


It's going to get eaten alive this summer with all the competition.

reply

no it Will be fine...but if it does, Disneys just fine and wont even notice it.

thats what happens when you have 5 films in the last year gross over 1 Billion and 3 gross over 800 M...you can have a flop or 2 and be just fine


A good example of getting eaten alive was Justice League....It simply got destroyed by Thor 3, Jumanji, The Last Jedi and others....of course this was made all worse by WB having a string of Massive Flops before and after JL...

Had WB been like Disney and Produced A Bunch of Massive Hits and almost no flops, WB wouldnt have felt Justice Leagues failure nearly as bad...But unfortunately 2017 was a year of HUGE flops for WB, made worse when JL was eaten alive....

PS, Another Great Example of getting Eaten alive is WBs King Arthur....It was released at nearly the exact same time last year that Solo will be released this year, It was EATEN ALIVE by GOTG2, Alien and Pirates 5, resulting in complete disaster for WB losing over 150 Million....












LOL have you seen the fault in your trolling yet queen?

you cant win!

whatever you do, whatever desperate scale or criteria you come up with to try and troll on Disney, I'm just gonna flip it on you and Apply it to WB or a film you love and prove your own Scale DOOMS those films more than the Disney films your trying to troll on

you truly cant win....

by trolling on Disney your cutting your own throat!

thoughts queen?

not good for you, in your own words , Wow "This Could Get Ugly for you" queen...Solo isnt tracking anywhere near the Delusional Lows your expecting

Boxoffoce.com is predicting Solo to be HUGE With a 150 Million OW and 390 Million domestically....

this is horrible news for you queen, box office.com would not be predicting a weekend that Huge if tracking wasnt suggesting it, If Social Media hits and awareness wasnt suggesting it...

It seems SOLO is already tracking HUGE!

also I hope you now under why I explained to your delusional prediction that SOLO will make 500 M or Less World Wide is an Impossibility...

I mean were looking at an absolute minimum of like 300 M+ domestically for SOLO...

as I said in a previous post, SOLO could be the worst film of all time, could get 0% on RT and get a F cinemascore and Still is making over 500 M

I hope with this article you'll at least start to comprehend the depths of your failures and just how far off you are...

it seems 650 to 700 M World Wide is an absolute Worst case Scenario for SOLO

again this is another devastating blow to your Anti-Disney and Anti- Star Wars quest....It seems your destined to another sentence of PURE HELL watching another Disney and Star Wars film be a Huge hit!

1) I love the Disney Star Wars movies a lot more than most it would seem. But...we all see the trajectory here for Star Wars films and it is not good at all.

2) box office.com is notorious for overindexing on Disney films(especially their animated films) while under shooting on studios like WB a ESPECIALLY Universal. That's not good for Disney and it's GREAT for Universal as Disney films routinely open lower than forcast( not including BP) and Universal's films look like a shocking cabon blast beating expectations. I remember they for cast Disney"s Moana to earn 320 million domestic and Universal's Sing only at 110 million.

LOL. How did that work out?

While I get that desperate times call for desperate measures....

But pointing out 1 time where the site MISSED is not proof of anything...

no one is 100% accurate on anything....Boxoffice.com though Hits on a 90%+ basis....

I also find your example to be a total Failure, because you clearly TRIED to look for a case where boxoffice REALLY missed and the best you could come up with was Moana, where they predicted 320 and the film ended up making 250 M

so basically They MISSED by about 20%...

as I stated in a previous thread, This does NOTHING TO HELP you....Boxoffice.com could completely Whiff on SOLO and Miss by 20% and that still means SOLO is heading towards a 120 M+ OW and 300 M + domestic run...

simply put, Its Impossible for boxoffice.com to be off enough to help you....your prediction is clear, you've spent 4 months trolling, you believe SOLO is going to be a disaster and make 500 M or Less...

that is an Impossibility....this projection by boxoffice.com Proves SOLO is tracking near Rogue One, the only way boxoffice.com would predict a projection this high is if the data and tracking backed it up...Now again, That could change, SOLOs tracking could go up or down, It may not open at 150 M, But its not going ANYWHERE close to the Lows your expecting, again right now its tracking at 150 M...If from here on out, everything is a disaster, If Hype plummets, were still Looking at a Massive Opening weekend...Box office.com like any other site can Miss, can be off, but under the worst case scenarios they are off by 15, 20 percent...

lol you need them to be off By 40% or more...

You need them to be off by an Impossible amount.

we all see the trajectory here for Star Wars films and it is not good at all.

^

lol 3 straight 1 Billion + films....3 straight Universally praised films....2015 and 2017 The Force Awaken was the most successful and most profitable film of 2015, The Last Jedi was the most successful and profitable film of 2017....

SOLO is tracking off the charts despite being filled with Production problems and Negative News(that not exactly easy, just look at Justice League and WB) JL had the same level of Production problems, and Negative News, and that film simply never even got going, at no point was it tracking anywhere near what SOLO is tracking...

All in All, its clear Star Wars so far has been on An Unprecedented Trajectory and is continuing on that trajectory

also do you find it at all odd that for some reason you believe the Star Wars films and franchise is on a downward trajectory....With results like 2 Billion, 1 Billion + and 1.3 Billion, 3 RT rating over 85%..and all 3 films made Disney over 1.4 Billion In Profit

Yet you claim the DCEU is doing just fine and Is RED HOT after 4 out 5 universally hated films, none of which made 1 Billion, 3 out of 5 badly under performed, BvS and Justice League had A Disastrous Box office drop and each film continues to make Less in box office, Also WB has made very Little profit on these film

Only 42 M in Profit from Man Of Steel.
Only 100 M in Profit from BvS
Only 150 Million In Profit from Suicide Squad
Wonder Woman made a great 250 M(unfortunately all that was DEVOURED though by 5 massive other WB flops)
and finally LOST 60 Million on Justice League

again compare that to

788 M in Profit from TFA
320 M in Profit from Rogue One
and 417 M in Profit from Last Jedi


lol again I ask, do you find it ODD that you have the opinion the DCEU is RED HOT yet believe Star Wars is on a d/w trajectory

"It's going to get eaten alive this summer with all the competition."

Reading the post on this board, you would think thats exactly what people want.

reply

Not me...I love the Disney Star Wars films. It breaks my heart seeing all the hate directed at them.

reply

Yeah, same here. It's really a shame.

reply

hey Queen Just hoping you could help me out..

I just noticed "Rampage" is being released by WB and New Line Cinema....Of course I took notice of this because Rampage is tracking very low and Looks like its gonna be yet another flop for WB

But so far I cant find any info on the Budget or If WB and New Line are co financing it....of course New Line is part of WB, WB Owns them , but I think the do their own movies and such too

I did find that WB at least paid 33 Million for the rights to Rampage...but I cant find anything saying how much the budget is and how Much WB paid of that budget.

Given your history to go to extreme lengths to find any possible way to make it seem like WB LOST LESS money, or to make it seem like A WB film didnt flop as badly as reported, Your very good at digging stuff like this up, Blade Runner is a good example, You sure tried your hardest on that one, found all kinds of desperate stuff, of course, it didnt help much, It was still a flop, WB was involved and LOST Money

but I was wondering if you could get desperate and try to find some info on Rampage....Its looking like a flop, of course when that happens, I'm gonna ABUSE you with it and Id like to have accurate information...

could be please try to find out how much the Budget is for Rampage and If New Line co financed it...this would be a great help for me to calculate just how much WB is gonna lose...

thanks

PS
If Rampage flops it Will be 2 Massive Video game franchises that WB LOST and Lost money on in the span of a month....I'm sure WB was very hopeful for both Tomb Raider and Rampage to not only be successful but start Franchises...Its looking like WB is going to go down in flames with BOTH...In less than a month

WB should look to Disney, see what Disney is doing with 4 separate Franchisees and take Lessons

Disney is putting out consistent Blockbusters that are printing money with 4 different franchises in Star Wars, The MCU, Pixar and Their Live action Fairytale remakes

WBs needs to study Disney and Apply what they learn to future Franchises they are trying to start...

just a tough break for WB...TR and Rampage could have been successful films and franchises Unfortunately WB screwed them up...and even worse this is coming at a time when WB has also FAILED as badly as you can possible fail with their most important Franchise(The DCEU) and characters...

I'm sure the failures of TB and Rampage(If it does fail) would be a whole lot less concerning if WB was having great success with The DCEU...unfortunately the DCEU is in shambles...WB is coming off a year where they had 5 Massive Flops and looks to be heading toward a second Massive FLOP this year...

Sooooo....know you're using box office.com 's strange forecast :(so many of their"s have been downright off the wall) to predict an action fantasy adventure starring THE ROCK(#1 b.o. draw in the world) will be a flop?

Oooooookaaaaay.

oh no I'm not debuting if its going to be a flop or not(I dont no yet)...

I'm just asking if you could please do some of your desperate research and find out what the Budget is and if it was co financed, so IF IT FLOPS, I'll have accurate info to ABUSE you with...

Thanks,

PS

starring THE ROCK(#1 b.o. draw in the world) will be a flop?

Baywatch says Hello

Hercules Says Hello, An Action,Fantasy Adventure Hello

Snitch Says Hello

The Rock is by far the biggest star in the world right now, But Hes not bulletproof, In fact many of his films that have FLOPPED, are Action, Fantasy type films

Also its not just 1 sites reporting Rampage is tracking low, its several...NO sites have it opening over 35 M

again, This seems ODD...it seems like I'm hating on the film, But the facts are I love The Rock, Rampage looks incredible, Its my type of movie, I LOVED San Andreas(which was directed by the same director)...Unfortunately though I enjoy making your life Hell and part of that is pointing out WB films that flop...

"Also its not just 1 sites reporting Rampage is tracking low, its several...NO sites have it opening over 35 M"

Ahhh...yes...the same sites where you felt so confident in saying "No WAY Ready Player One opens higher than 50 million domestic"!


lololololololololololololololololol

see this again is where I believe you are CHILD

I said, "at this point nothing points to RPO opening over 50 M"....thats was based on the tracking...

Its worth noting, at the time I made this statement, I did not know RPO opened on thursday and had a 4 day weekend...

I was predicting and thinking RPO only had a regular 3 day weekend, which of course RPO only ended up having a 41 M 3 day weekend, So I was DEAD ON...RPO did not open over 50 M

But since that obviously sounds like an excuse, Lets just go with the 4 days weekend

you realize at BEST I was off by 4 million dollars?

thats what you are bragging about, that I said Tracking doesnt suggest it will open over 50 million and It Crawled and limped past 50 to 53 M

So you are literally trying to brag about me being off by maybe 5%......meanwhile, You MISSED by 32 Million dollars...

do you see the problem here?

ONLY A CHILD or A person with a mental handicap would try to do what you are doing...

you MISSED by 32 Million dollars..I MISSED by 4

you predicted 85 M and I Predicted 45

and SITES you are talking about that shouldnt be believed..were DEAD ON on their predictions...every site had RPO opening between 35 to 50 M...

when you get within 5% on a prediction, that means you nailed it

So yes, If several sites are prediction Rampage to open no higher than 35 M....that certainly suggests Tracking is very bad and A Low OW could be coming

once again you dont understand box office!

PS...

thoughts on PR2's 2nd weekend collapse, remember you claimed it was a crowd pleaser that would "Leg Out"...Instead it had a historically awful 70% drop..

lololololololololololololololololol

PSS

Thoughts on Deadpool 2 tracking at nearly 30 % less than Deadpool 1? remember you all but guaranteed DP2 would make more than DP1 and that I was crazy for predicting a "Decrease"...

lololol

PSSS

How much do you think WB Will lose on Ready Player One? given that it costs 300 M to 325 M....The film in your OWN WORDS needs to make at least 800 M to break even....

we know Justice League just lost WB at least 60 M, JL had a very similar 300 M+ budget and grossed 657 M, So we know RPO at least needs to gross another 120 Million more than Justice League to Break Even...

Most Analyst are predicting 500 to 600 Million for RPO...

WB did co finance RPO...So they are going to be Losing Probably 40 to 50 Million instead of 80 to 100 M...

either way, tough break for WB...King Arthur,Gerostorm,Blade Runner,Justice League, Tomb Raider and Now Ready Player One, those are Just MASSIVE FLOPS...

Damn....

Well, good news and bad news queen....

Boxoffice.com was off....

ONLY it was OFF by being to HIGH!

lol as I mentioned 10 days ago...Boxoffice.com was predicting a 35 M OW for Rampage....

Oh course due to you being biased, You immediately tried to spin this negative news by saying Boxoffice.com is always wrong and then EVEN more Desperately tried to claim "Hey its got The Rock, the #1 movie star in the world"

I then replied it wasnt just 1 site predicting Rampage to flop...it was several ....All sites had Rampage opening at 35 M....

Well reports now have Rampage opening at a horrible 27 M....Which is a giant Flop for WB....

this hads to a string on Massive flops for WB in the last Year....

anyways just wanted to update you of this...this is 2 shot killer for you....

first your desperate excuses of trying to discredit boxoffice.com and trying to say "The Rock is in, it Will be a hit" failed Miserably....

and 2nd, again, This is yet another HUGE FLOP for WB that will surely DEVOUR even more profit from the few hits they've had!

reply

Hmm maybe not. Star Wars has a lot of pull, but I am surprised they put it this close to Avengers. I think the biggest thing going against it is that we just had a SW film four months ago which was not well received by audiences. However, even a crappy SW film is able to pull in tons of cash so it will probably make lots of money as well. Now whether it will actually be a good movie or not is another question.

May 4th would have been better.
