He got ripped apart over all of his big budget stuff post-Signs, so no wonder he wants to keep a lower profile. Hopefully, M. Night has been properly humbled, because I do think that he is a decent film maker.

The guy definitely has talent. Let's hope the humbling has made him hungry again.

ME DUDE
I saw Monster Trucks with my fiance and a friend. What a weird movie. It wasn't horribly made, there was definitely a lot of talent put into it, it was just really dumb. We laughed a lot so it was definitely worth it.
I was really distracted by how much Lucas Till looked like a young Heath Ledger.
The Titanfall cameo was weird too.

I think you may be the only one qualified to make such a request. After all you're Xander Cage.

Odds on Rogue One making it to 535 and unseating The Dark Knight?

He was able to dead lift that Lycan in Furious 7, brah.
TFA made another $68M after this point, on a $3.5M Friday. Rogue One has been having slightly worse holds every weekend since the holidays.
Based on this Friday, you'd expect another $33M for Rogue One with the exact same holds TFA got during the remainder of its run. $20-25M is probably more realistic. It will be close.
I don't think it makes it.

Yeah, I'm getting more & more skeptical it's gonna cross 530, much less 535.
This would be the second straight financial success for Shyamalan considering the budget of his past two films. The Visit had a 5M production budget and did decent business and supposedly Split is at 10M.
That is one way to get back into a studios good graces. Low budget horror films with decent returns.

Rogue One cleared the most important milestones so I doubt Disney has much interest in squeezing the last 10M or so out of it. Years ago, they would have pushed for a re-expansion on Presidents weekend, but what's the real point? They'll focus on marketing a home release around Easter instead.
R1 cleared $500M domestic, was the #1 film of the year domestically, the #2 Star Wars film to date, and will pass $1B worldwide this weekend. Mission accomplished.

Yup. They basically get to do whatever they want with this cinematic universe they likely have drafted up. If the first spinoff film, released less than a year after TFA, can score a top 10 all-time domestic and a bil worldwide? Greenlights away.
Damn. M.Night self financed Split just like The Visit. He's going to rake in the cash.

Split will end up in the top 10 January openings, and possibly as high as #4 if it plays like The Visit. Split has a higher preview percentage of its OD, but word of mouth seems a lot better, so it could happen.
For what it's worth, boxoffice .com put out a new forecast for Beauty and the Beast: $144M/$470M.

Whats your prediction for number one?
Episode 8 is out this year
Edit: Star Wars will be #1 domestic for all or most of the years between 2015 and 2019. 2018 is the only year that isnt really a certainty.

How does Vin Diesel keep getting work?
Outside the FF series of course.
No question. Even it's massively down from TFA, it could still get $600m-$700m domestic.

Damn i wanted it to be Guardians or Spiderman. I still got to watch Force Awakens
That is what I always ask. Maybe him and Tyrese need to do a buddy cop thing

I think it's gonna happen, and $500M is my personal prediction atm. I'm completely over the moon about how strong its online presence has been, routinely blowing away the superhero films this year in trailer views and tweets.
What're thinking for BatB's overseas? I'm not sure if it can have the same sort of breakdown as Jungle Book or not.
I think Eps 8 has a chance to be bigger than TFA as it'll be Carrie Fisher's last performance as Leia.
If La La Land and Hidden Figures both clear $129M domestic, Sony will have zero films in the top 20 for 2016 releases.
Sony has only had a single film in the annual top 10 during the past 4 years (Spectre at #10 last year). In that same time frame they have had 5-6 films make the annual top 20 (depending if Ghostbusters is bumped out). So 5-6 slots out of 80. Disney had 7 in 2016 alone.
I bet that Sony studio execs are happy to have a Spider-Man film out this year!

If The Jungle Book can make a billion, I don't see any way that a well-made Beauty and the Beast movie doesn't absolutely clean up.
Wait until Aladdin and Little Mermaid drop, they will just ship the gold straight from the mines too disney's doors
Wait for The Lion King from the director of The Jungle Book. That'll do insane business.
Hopefully it does better than Independence Day.
