One Billion?


In honor of the great and mighty Lando, I predict this movie will NOT make 1 billion, I guarantee it!

I think Its a pretty good prediction that SOLO wont make 1 Billion...

Right now, I'm thinking anywhere between 750 and 900 Million is the landing point....

obviously if the movie is a complete trainwreck and just awful, I could see it making less, Maybe between 600 to 700 M, But IMO the The Floor is 600 M

Also if the movie turns out to be Great or a really fun Advanture movie, I could see it making more than 900 M...

But right now...I'm think SOLO will probably be just average, get between 60 to 75% on RT, get a decent Cinemascore and the overall consensus be...Its a good addition to the Star Wars franchise but nothing great...If that happens IMO 750 to 900 M is the mark

I think at this point Disney Will be happy With anything over 750 M...given the troubles they've had...the Budget Ballooned out of control...

I imagine if the film makes 750 M in theaters, and The over the next few years with Blu Ray,DVD,home media and TV revnue, Disney Will at least break even...thats pretty much the best you can hope for when you have as much trouble with a film as SOLO...

anything over 850 Million...I imagine Disney Will immediately start talking and Greenlighting a SOLO sequel(If SOLO receives good reviews and good responses)

Its entirely possible Solo might make over 850 M but have an awful reception...If thats the case, it makes no sense to go forward with a sequel, as seen with BvS, when a blockbuster has a Awful reception, yet still makes a ton of money, The Sequel is going to have a HUGE decrease...same thing happened With The Transformers movies and countless others...

but If Solo is received Well and makes over 850 M...IMO Disney Will Greenlight a sequel...

PS also quite curious to see how badly Suicide Squad 2 Decreases in Box office....The reception to SS2 was nearly as awful as BvS...the kicker for me is The Joker...Letos Joker was a Huge selling point for Suicide Squad, and simply put, there cant be a bigger letdown or creative failure than Leto Joker ...I literally just dont see how anyone who saw the first film will actually be thinking, Hey I loved The Joker, I'll go back for the sequel....

Its clear, there was quite a portion of the audience that ONLY saw SS because The Joker was in it...the rest of the Squad were basically unknowns...

A. I dont even think Letos Joker is going to be in SS2, It was just to much of a fail...Leto doesnt want to come back, I'm sure the Studios doesnt want Leto's Joker back either, I imagine WB wants "A JOKER" in the film, but not Letos Joker, I bet they are trying to figure of how to recast right now....

and B If Leto Joker did Come back, It literally might LOSE more audiences than gain...

right now I'm think SS2 is gonna have a MASSIVE decrease...

wouldnt surprise me if it opened between...65 to 80 Million....and made around 500 to 550 World Wide...

MAYBE if WB pulls out all stops....has The Rocks Black Adam debut in the film as the Villain, recast The Joker With a Great Actor and really focuses the film on Robbie's Quinn, The New Joker and Black Adam...then Maybe were talking about a Successful SS2...

but basically that means WB would be just starting over, changing everything, admitting they cant go forward after SS1 reception...It would almost be a reboot thats actual a sequel...

thats the only way A SS2 is going to be as successful or more successful than SS1....but given WBs track record, We should except none of that

750 or even 900 million :) ????? At the moment they project between 300 and at best (!!!) 350 million. Solo is as dead as Disney Star Wars.

reply

Have you been in a coma for the last 2 weeks?

Have you read any of my posts in the last 2 weeks....

SOLO is A complete Disaster....I changed my tune upon seeing The very first Projections on Opening day....

I'm now completely with queen in the SW franchise is in DEEP trouble....

SOLO Is the direct result of Maybe the single biggest BOYCOTT in Hollywood history...The absolute HATRED for The Last Jedi was Disguised By Great Reviews....

But its clear now Audiences and Fans are extremely split of all 4 SW films and TLJ is basically beyond HATED ...It OFFENDED the SW fan base...

The only way you get such drastic declines as SOLO is if the 3 SW films that came before were divisive ....They had the appearance of Being LIKED by The Majority....but They werent...and SOLO complete FLOPPED as a result of Fans and audiences being unhappy...

This is something that really hasnt happened to this degree before...Even with The DCEU films, They didnt FALL off a cliff like this with one film...

I completely MISSED on SOLO as did everyone else....everyone including The people that thought it would struggle MiSSED....NO ONE saw it performing this horrifically...

I think the absolute LOWEST prediction I saw was 500 Million WW...

simiply put.....NO ONE SAW this kind of complete REJECTION coming....some certainly expected a decrease,But NOT to this degree

reply

Just this time last year it was the general consensus that ANY Star Wars film would cross a billion.

My oh my what a difference a year makes!

reply

lol Most box office sites didnt even predict Rogue One to Make 1 Billion....

If there was a General Consensus, It was about The Actual Star Wars Films, The Episodes, I would agree most expect and expected SW 7,8,9 to make at least 1 Billion and those expectations have more than been met...

and Queen lets not get started on General Consensus of what Films should have made, because thats simply a Road that ONLY lead to YOUR complete DOOM or should I say WB's DOOM...

Just 2 years and 1 Month ago, BvS was a Guaranteed 1 Billion + film, With Most believing it might even make as Much as The Avengers...of course that all changed 3 days before the film opened when WB finally lifted the reviews Embargo that revealed to the whole world BvS was a complete trainwreck, Thus Killing all chances at a 1 Billion dollar Total...lol

Just 3 years ago when Justice League was Scheduled and Announced as A 2 Parter, The Majority Consensus was, After BvS makes 1 to 1.5 Billion....JL part 1 Will easily out gross The Avengers, Leading to JL 2 Maybe even grossing 2 Billion...

My oh my what a difference 2 to 3 years and 4 out of 5 AWFUL DCEU films makes!

you now have a franchise that literally has to HOPE of Producing a 1 Billion film...you now have a Justice League Franchise that is DEAD after ONLY 1 Film, that LOST WB 60 Million instead of Making the Studios 400 M + in Profit like Disney and The Avengers...

You now have to recast and Reboot Batman after Snyder literally KILLED him as a Box office draw...Batman was a proven 1 Billion dollar box office earner before Snyder got a hold of him, Now he cant even break 700 M...

lol nice try Queen...but once again your trolling just didnt make sense....you tried to suggest the Star Wars franchise is going down in Expectations, but of course didnt think to Apply it to WB and DCEU...A Studio and Films you relentlessly defend and Claim is RED HOT...

theres no way around it, If you want to believe Expectations are Down for The Star Wars franchise, fine, you create Wierd scales like this all the time...But If you going to judge Star Wars that way...then you got to also Judge WB and The DCEU...

and once again your Scale DOOMS WB and the DCEU more than Star Wars...

so far, Expectations have been Met, every Star Wars film has in fact made over 1 Billion

So Far With WB and The DCEU, Expectations havent even remotely been met, BvS, JL part 1 and JL part 2...expectations were they were guaranteed 1 Billion + earners, Expectations for those films were every bit as high IF NOT HIGHER than the Star War films....and none got close to 1 Billion, and embarrassingly BvS was so bad, So awful and Under performed so bad, It literally CAUSED the cancellation of a complete JL film when WB forced Snyder to make JL into 1 Film instead of 2...

Expectations may have slightly went down for The Star Wars Franchise....Expectations are straight DEAD for The DCEU films!

reply

The studios can't just slap a franchise name (Batman, Justice League, Star Wars, etc.) on a bad movie and expect crowds to show up and hand them a billion dollars. They'll have to actually work for it. Another problem is eventually people will become bored watching the same story repeated over in endless reboots or sequels.

So glory hunters now compainrg a Star Wars movie with BvS :) ? I like that smell of panic :) .

not panic Its just A Perfect comparison....

BOTH films were Massively disappointing to the fan base and Audiences...

BOTH films went in directions that SPLIT audiences and fans....

and The biggest comparison is Rian Johnson and Kennedy compared to Snyder....

Snyder Shit the bed With 3 DCEU films....Audiences and Fans Hated his vision,tones and takes on these DCEU characters and Movies....

SW fans have equal hatred toward Kennedy....they have disliked all 4 of her SW films and hate her AGENDA with the films...

Rian Johnson is now in the exact position as Zack Snyder.....

Hes TOXIC

Snyder shit the bed so horrifically with BvS.....that Justice League was DOOMED the second WB let him come back to direct JL.....Fans and Audience WERE JUST OUT after BvS....You could not go forward with Snyder after BvS ...

Rian JOhnson Is now in the same Position....HIM writing and directing another SW film Is DEAD after The Last Jedi and The boycott of SOLO.......before SOLO you could maybe overlook the Hatred for TLJ and Think it was a SMALL MINORITY.....but SOLO's boycott 1000% proves SW fans not only hated TLJ but it offended them...

Rian Johnson simply is DONE in the SW universe...Hes toxic and you can not go forward with him....

Its not Panic to compare Snyder and Johnson....Its just truly The PERFECT comparison...

Both Film makers completely Shit the bed with A Huge Franchise film, that has made them toxic ....

Had Snyder not Delivered an "Unwatchable cut" of JL, Had Snyder actually completed his movie, Box office results would have been even worse for JL than they were because Audiences and fans were OUT after BvS....

Rian Johnson Will be fired sometime in the next 3 months, Disney Knows Him Writing a Trilogy or even a single film now is a Lost cause...Theyll announce it respectfully, announce Hes Taking a break or Is leaving on his own for another project...

Too many angry fans and talk of boycotting. $500-700 million worldwide depending on how bad the movie is.

Very true.

If Rouge 1 can make a billion then I would think Solo could too. I think the movie is going to be cheesefest of JarJar proportions.

reply

It's reported today that Deadpool 2 is breaking advance sales records.

That's not good for Solo coming out only a week later.

reply

No kidding, plus it will have to compete with IW. They should have released May 4.

reply

Queen Please watch this, Please skip to exactly 21:53....

^given your Deep and unnatural hatred for Disney...This video and specifically the comments made at 21:53 to 22:35 Will KILL YOU on a Deep level and Will bring me Great Joy

thank you

PS.....at this Point Literally Everything points to SOLO easily out grossing Deadpool 2 in every possible way...

Opening Weekend tracking isnt even close....DP2 is tracking Way less than DP1(just as I predicted), But Literally tracking nearly 40% Less than SOLO....lol Solo is tracking for a 150 M OW....DP2 is tracking for a 100 M OW

Domestically, DP2 literally has no chance...SOLO is tracking for a 350 + Domestic run(maybe as high as 390)....DP2 is tracking for a 242 Million Domestic run...

Overseas again is wont be close, Star Wars is Way more of a box office draw...

All in All...

Solo, looks to make anywhere from 700 to 900 M...

DP2 is looking at 600 to 700 M...

Its not going to be a good month for you queen...Disney is gonna dominate the month of May with Avengers IW and Solo...

and I mean that Literally and SOLELY...It only gonna to be a BAD MONTH for YOU...everyone else Will be happy

Disney Will be on Cloud 9, Fox Will be happy With DP2 even though its decreases in box office from DP1(600 to 700 M is still a hit)..

Nope its only gonna be YOU angry because 2 Disney films dominated and DP2 Decreased in box office from DP1 like you guaranteed WOULD NOT happen!



reply

350 million domestic :) :) :) ????? I really like the panic at your postings. This movie wont most likely to recent projections reach 350 millions worldwide! Its the economics, stupid!

reply

lol you missed the boat quint....

I already Admitted I was Disastrously wrong The day Solo came out.....

I'm not completely with Queen that the SW franchise is in DEEP trouble....

SOLO is A complete disaster....The biggest flop of the year...and IMO The ONLY way for the SW franchise to go forward now is for Disney to fire Kennedy and Rian Johnson...

If Rouge 1 can make a billion then I would think Solo could too. I think the movie is going to be cheesefest of JarJar proportions.

naw I think your just trying to set the bar intentionally high so you can then troll if it doesnt meet them....

SOLO could make 1 Billion....but doesnt have to or need to....

I think were starting to get a clear idea how the Star Wars films are going to perform....

I think The Episode films are going to perform anywhere from 1 Billion + to 1.4 Billion

and The Spin Offs/Prequels are going to perform any where from 700 to 1 Billion....

actually Quite Similar to The MCU films...

The Major Avengers or Cross over films will from Over 1 Billion, but most SOLO MCU film will gross between 700 to 900 Million....

given the problems Disney has had with SOLO....I think if the film gets decent reviews and grosses between 700 to 800 M, they'll consider it a Win, May not make much Profit, but as long as They dont lose money and the film isnt Hated and doesnt hurt the franchise they'll be more than happy...

but if it makes you feel better keep raising the goal posts!

reply

TLJ already fallen compared to TFA. And now Solo wont even reach nearly its production budget. So thats the way Star Wars movie are made today :) ?

reply

NOT sure what your getting at here....

But if your just trying to point out SOLO is A Flop of Epic portions I completely agree....


Changes have to be made from Disney....Kennedy and Johnson have to be fired....

for a film to have the kind of Drastic Declines that SOLO had...It suggest a Massive Boycott and PROVES Audiences truly Hated The Last Jedi and Have been Majorly split of all the Disney SW films...

all 4 Disney SW films have the appearance that they are LIKED by the Majority....But With results LIKE SOLO....Its now clear These SW films are extremely decisive...

The only way to go forward is Kennedy and Johnson have to go!

UPDATE: Movie is bad.

reply

I'm lowering my box office estimate to $300-350 million worldwide.

reply

No, the movie will do BRILLIANT box-office. Disney soldiers will personally round up whole towns of people and force them into their local multiplexes to watch the movie, and woe betide anyone who doesn't like it: they'll be shot against the wall.

In honor of the great and mighty Lando, I predict this movie will NOT make 1 billion, I guarantee it!
