I think it will make 50 cents, but only if it features "In Da Club".

I would bet just about anything that it won't reach 1.3 Billion.

If it's very very good it might, just might scrape a billion.

How many viewings will it take for pedantic nerds to verify that they don't like it? 5 each, at least?

That was Jedi's number. I don't think it will fall much below that. Even at a billion it will be top 5, no? I know you want Star Wars to crash and burn but I don't think it's happening yet.

I did a cover of this on a kazoo while I sat in a canoe with a bass drum in my lap. PM for deets!

From the ones we know about, I'm excited for 'Stan and Ollie' and 'Us'.

If we’re listing anticipation:

1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
2. Avengers / Star Wars
3. The Lighthouse
4. The Irishman
5. Us

There’s also new movies from Bong Joon-ho, The Safdies and Armando Iannucci adapting Charles Dickens.

That’s off the top of my head.

I think Solo Overseas was a fluke cause its very odd it not having a world wide box office. I doubt an Episodic film will Bomb. If Star Wars wants people to see it they best have mark hamill aka Luke in the trailer or his voice. I think lots liked Force Awakens if anything JJ pay homages well to old Star Wars motifs. Johnson didnt do that well. Curiosity will make it do better then Solo cause people hating on Star Wars cannot hate it if dont see it.

I voted Other, because the majority of the movies on the poll are entertainment blockbusters. These are the films to look for winning the Oscar:

Black Panther
A Star Is Born
First Men
GreenBook
Roma
Vice

Those films aren't eligible for the poll.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Avengers all day

Originally Star Wars was just a movie that happen to become a hit. So I dont see how because a film is a hit at the Box Office it cannot be a great movie. Yes sometimes a small movie is best film. Look at Bumblee Bee no one figured it be best movie of the Holiday weekend. But its not easy to find small Gems this early. The smaller films are always the unknowns and thus Other. Avengers isnt just a comic book film. For me a MCU film last 2 years are really good and not just a cash cow money grabber.

I think all the goodwill has been used up, the characters that people were paying to see are gone. What's left is an inevitable confrontation between Mary Sue and Emo teenage Vader, and some sort of Convoluted plot device that will allow 12 people to defeat the First Order before Disney hastily dumps this story for some sort of fresh start.

You are probably the biggest dissenter of Jedi I have come across. I will totally trust your answer here. You seeing 9?

You couldn't pay me to see it. I will however watch for free in years to come, when it drops on Netflix or TV, not seen Solo either. I'm only a huge dissenter because I'm a huge lifelong Star Wars fan who despairs at the state of things.

I think ep 9 will do around 700m. It could be worse than that though. Depends a bit on Christmas competition, if there are strong alternatives then casual viewers might not see it, but if there's nothing else it could do OK.

I've been wrong loads of times though, I dismissed Infinity War but it was super successful. I've seen it 5 times, and will Deffo be going to see Endgame.

Fair enough. We will have to see next year. If it's not over a billion I will be shocked and declare Gandalf the king of all things cinema.
