I'm thinking there will be 2-3 late June/July big hits
After everyone has gotten their fill of nice weather, pools, beaches, and summer fun.
We forget how awful the April/early May weather was for large, heavily populated parts of the US. The desire to get out and finally enjoy the nice weather we've had lately is probably strong (and the desire to see another movie after we watched a string of them in April is probably less:)...
I put my marker on Pets (and my sleeper Bad Moms), but I could easily see a sequel done right warming the nostalgic hearts of people and getting them in the seats in huge numbers...maybe Nemo 1.5, maybe Independence Day 2, maybe even Trek or Bourne (good action or sci fi could really hit with those built in fan bases)...
Goodness, is every big summer movie being taken out back and shot?! Jun 04, 15:09
This just means a film or two is going to totally exceed expectations and be a surprise hit {nm} Jun 04, 15:13
I'm liking IDAY2 too Jun 04, 15:50
My concern with IDAY2 is what, if any, effect WSMIT not being back will have. Jun 04, 16:07
I can't see nay effect. That was 20 years ago. {nm} Jun 04, 16:09
This is precisely what I said to Snob last night. I'm just not excited for it because of Liam replacing Will. Jun 04, 16:39
What gives me pause, is that early indicators like the initial trailer view counts and Superbowl Spot were soft Jun 04, 16:57
I actually watched Independence Day 2 around a month ago (some general thoughts inside) Jun 04, 17:07
I think your last line might be the most important - many alien invasion movies but no dinosaur movies {nm} Jun 04, 21:05
The SyFy channel has had a bunch I think but nothing I can remember. =P {nm} Jun 05, 07:51
interesting indeed. {nm} Jun 04, 18:28
Agree the special effects were the star back then. I shouted HOLY SH...! During the Jun 04, 22:27
"Earthquake" was a big deal in the 1970s, and I loved to watch "When Worlds Collide" when I was a kid. Jun 05, 06:12
The bigger concern is the 20 year gap. That's been a bad gamble for too many recent sequels. {nm} Jun 04, 17:34
How so? Jurrasic World did great. {nm} Jun 04, 19:03
Tron; Vacation; Dumb And Dumber; Zoolander; My Big Fat Greek Wedding; Barbershop; Terminator; Die Hard; Scream {nm} Jun 05, 07:12
Tron Legacy was a big hit, only reason sequel was put on hold was Disney is spoiled for product right now. {nm} Jun 05, 07:21
DIE4 was the best performing Die Hard movie, and that was after a 12 year gap {nm} Jun 05, 10:59
6 yrs later, the 5th movie only made half as much {nm} Jun 05, 11:21
Terminator was only a six year gap and had massive quality issues. Barbershop 3 was a successful little programmer {nm} Jun 05, 11:12
There's something in the air... {nm} Jun 04, 16:12
There Must Be Something In The Water. Jun 04, 16:29
Your boy The SEETVFund will never miss an opportunity to pimp Miami Vice. Link... to the best video ever...inside. Jun 05, 01:18
I was out on ID4 when they didn't bring back Egg {nm} Jun 04, 20:52
Her? {mm} {nm} Jun 05, 06:22
It was as ann as the nose on Plain's face they were never going to cast her {nm} Jun 05, 09:31
I'm thinking there will be 2-3 late June/July big hits Jun 05, 13:29
anecdotal, but haven't spoken to even one person who's hyped for IDAY2 Jun 09, 11:13
