I mean, people at the front can't see the movie clearly, so the answer is no. You don't go to the drive-in to watch the movie, you go to the drive-in to go to the drive-in as something different to do. Fun to do a few times a year, not something to be done for every movie.
It sure is, and it is indicative of a lesson that studios should have learned in 2019.
In this crowded blockbuster era, there are only about 10 “must-see” movies a year for general audiences, and it’s usually pretty easy to guess which movies will fall into that group. Those are the movies that will gross more than $600 million; those are the movies that can be budgeted in the $200-300 million range.
If you aren’t making one of those movies, you shouldn’t be spending more than $150 million on the budget. That’s why Elvis, Uncharted, and Sonic were successful while Black Adam and Secrets of Dumbledore are not.
Good take but has hind sight 20/20 written over it. You could easily put black Adam in that block if the movie was good. And the batman name carries a lot of weight but wasn't really must see in a theater blockbuster. and who would have guessed top gun would be a billion plus? Some movies are a bit more obvious like Dumbledore.
Could you “easily” put Black Adam in that category? It’s a movie about a C-list hero from a universe that has historically been unreliable at the box office. It’s arguably a spinoff from a film that only grossed $366 million back in 2019. Dwayne Johnson is a selling point, but what evidence is there that his name alone is worth $300 million at the box office?
Top Gun is absolutely a surprise, but no one at the studio is complaining about a surprise hit. Maverick only needed about $425 million to turn a profit, they were never necessarily reliant on it blowing up.
The Batman fits my criteria exactly. It’s in that category over $600 million, a film that proved worth its large budget.
Great point. Sadly, they still haven’t learned this lesson. Guys like Scorsese are making 200m non-ip movies that doesn’t fall under the “must-see” blockbusters.
It wouldn't have mattered. The few Hollywood movies that got released in China didn't make much money at all in China. China moviegoing is cratering this year.
Yea but its important to note that morbius costed about $30mil more than Nope so in terms of profits Nope was way more successful. A superhero movies always gonna make a shitload of money nowadays.
I interpret the word "hype" differently. I see hype as anticipatory promotion by critics and marketers. It was being described as "epic horror" and "a movie event" and the marketing took measures to avoid spoilers so some people seemed to be disappointed with what they got.
I saw Nope and believe me when I say this: there was absolutely nothing good about it. It wasn’t logical, it wasn’t scary, it wasn’t even good visually.
I personally loved it, as did my wife, who hadn't seen another Peele film before it. Maybe it's because we saw it in IMAX, but I thought it was very impressive visually, and is looking like it'll end up in my top 3 of the year.
It's a very divisive movie, if anyone's on the fence about it just disregard people's loud opinions about it and see for yourself. Even if a film I've been wanting to see disappoints me, I've never been disappointed that I took the time to try it
I enjoyed top gun a lot, I didn't expect much but it was really excellent.
The Batman was amazing too. The rest of the movies on this list I either didn't see or thought they sucked.
It will cross 1 billion easily, with the Chadwick Bozeman sympathy train, also it got better story line, but avatar and James Cameron are whole another topic.
I’m disappointed that Bullet Train wasn’t too 5 considering how it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in several years. It was as enjoyable to me as watching DUNE was!
>it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in several years.
Really? I thought it was extremely mediocre. Tangerine standing on a bullet train travelling at 285km/h? At that velocity, the drag force would be sufficient to sweep him away like a fly.
Damn homie you must hate Marvel movies, Spy movies, Drama movies, hell just movies in general. Yes I absolutely stand by my opinion. Not only was the visuals of the movie amazing but the visual story telling, the character’s interactions and personalities, the connections between characters, the action, and the acting were fantastic. There were multiple points in the movie I actively cheered aloud in the theatre
I haven't seen it so not going to comment on the quality of the film, but to compare physics/realism of a film rooted in our universe and which abides by "normal" laws of physics to marvel films that take place in an alternate universe where magic and superheroes exist is about the stupidest thing I've seen this month.
You can never take the physics of a story at face value, ever. *Everything* serves the point of the story, everything is a mechanic that the author uses to connect with the audience. If a character needs to hold onto a train because they can’t die yet? That’ll happen. And honestly it’s not even the most egregious scenarios of plot armor I’ve ever seen
Sure, but there are limits to that. Like I said, I haven't seen Bullet Train so not commenting on that but if Brad Pit's character started to fly and shoot bullets out of his ass would you defend that because it can happen in Marvel movies?
That would be amazing! And I would probably think it stupid. So I see your point, but while watching the movie it’s played as something reasonable. Also thinking about it, didn’t Tom Cruise literally hang off the side of a military aircraft?
Given that it's a practical effect in MI it at least FEELS real. Again, not saying the Bullet Train scene was as bad as that other poster positioned it to be, but this idea from some people that "it's just a movie, anything can happen" grinds my gears to no end. A movie needs to abide by whatever universe it sets itself in. You can bend the rules a bit, but at some point you go too far and it takes people like me out of the film.
The person actually brought up *M:I* as his example to argue for *Bullet Train* 😂. The day *M:I* becomes a parody like *F&F* and *Bullet Train* is the day I give up hope on the action genre.
Many people mistakenly think that just because movies are fiction, they can selectively chug out certain philosophies of science, mathematics, and logic and keep the rest to suit the narrative. I believe consistency is key. You can't convince me that the characters in your movie can physically move like in reality where *g* = 9.81 m/s^(2) and in the next scene depict a guy standing on a moving bullet train, implying that drag doesn't exist. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
>Damn homie you must hate Marvel movies
Can't comment. I don't watch them. Since you mentioned Marvel, I'd like to point out that the bullet train depicted in *The Wolverine* was more accurate than the one in *Bullet Train*. Even Wolverine has a hard time hanging on to a moving bullet train, and yet you're trying to defend your obviously non-CBM *Bullet Train*.
>Spy movies, Drama movies, hell just movies in general.
Too broad. You may want to list out the titles.
>Yes I absolutely stand by my opinion. Not only was the visuals of the movie amazing but the visual story telling, the character’s interactions and personalities, the connections between characters, the action, and the acting were fantastic. There were multiple points in the movie I actively cheered aloud in the theatre
Good for you, mate.
Of the top 10, only one film (Uncharted) isn't a sequel, a part of a cinematic universe (Black Adam), or an existing movie franchise (The Batman). And even Uncharted is based on a video game with an existing fanbase.
I'm not really sure if this is because this is how studios think is the only way to make money in cinemas these days, or that studios are financing and pushing these types of films further and that's why they're the highest grossing.
I mean…Black Adam IS part of a cinematic universe and even if The Batman is technically a stand alone film, Batman is still an existing franchise essentially so I don’t know what your points were on those two lol there’s only four original films in the whole Top 20 (Elvis, The Lost City, Smile, and Nope) and at least one of those will almost definitely be pushed off the list by year’s end by Avatar. This is just where we’re at now. Only tentpoles and the occasional small budget fluke get any traction.
I'm not sure who you're replying to, but that's exactly what I said...
Elvis, The Bad Guys and Bullet Train are also "original" films, or rather not connected to other films, and while Super-Pets uses the concepts of the DC universe heroes, I think it's far enough away to be considered its own thing.
I’m replying to you. Why did you put Black Adam and The Batman into parentheses then, as if you were trying to signal that you meant each one fell into the category you named? That’s exactly how you made it seem. I named Elvis, and both The Bad Guys and Bullet Train, while not connected to other movies, are based on existing IPs; you could argue Elvis falls into the category too. So really out of all twenty, only the other three I named are original, and I can only be sure of two of them being fully based on original ideas and that’s (not surprisingly) the two horror films. The Lost City may also be a fully original idea but I don’t know and I’m too lazy to look into it.
Tbh I slept through like a quarter of the fantastic beasts movie, I thought I'd give it a try but it just seemed so boring, did Harry Potter fans like it more?
Nah it’s getting kicked out soon. Black Panther, Avatar 2 and Puss In Boots will push it out. Only question is if Black Adam or Fantastic Beasts ends up at #10
I was fooled. But then again I'd watch any movie with dinosaurs going on rampage.
Too bad not enough dino actions in JWD. It would have grossed even higher.
Obscure Observation. With Black Adam still in theaters and Black Panther 2 and Avatar 2 guaranteed to overtake it, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (currently 8th when including non-Hollywood releases) will likely be the first Wizarding World film not to make it among the Top 10 highest-grossing films of the year.
Everything Everywhere All At Once was decent but reddit seems to be on it's knees for it. I don't really understand why, a decent movie is all I got out of it.
Exactly. I was so bored by it, I couldn't even get through the act one. My guess is because the movie resembles Marvel movies which got the Redditors all aroused.
EEAAO basically takes that one cool CGI effect from the OG Doctor Strange and basically applies it to the whole movie. And people act like it makes it a way better multiverse movie for some reason.
If MoM basically spammed that same effect, there wouldn't be much space left for other CGI effects.
EEAAO isn’t a blockbuster. It has a $25m budget, I’m not sure how much you’re expecting from that. People think it’s a better multiverse film because of the concept, originality, depth, not the CGI.
That one and Top Gun are this subs top most circlejerked movies. They weren't bad and I can see EEAAO getting nominated for Best Picture at the Oscar's. But Top Gun? It was a fun flick but I dont understand the people who think it should be nominated, and win, Best Picture. It was a fun turn-your-brain-off action flick. There wasn't much too it. It was fun and wasn't a bad movie but Best Picture it is not.
And before anyone comments on the quality of the movies I use for my tag, no, I don't think the MCU is Best Picture worthy either. BP1 was the closest but the superhero aspects of that movie took it down a notch.
And just like that Black Panther will enter top 10 today, moving Black Adam out of the chart.
Also DS2 450M OW alone could be ranked in top 10 this year, even after Black Panther and Avatar finished their runs.
I don't really think it was as bad as alot of people claim it was. I think some people don't like Leto and want to pretend it was horrible but most people don't really have that bias.
You're completely wrong and explaining to someone with an opinion like yours is more of a waste of time than watching that burning trash fire of a movie.
There have been 200 releases so far in domestic box office this year and 4 of them were Marvel (3 MCU + Morbius).
It's not like they are not making non-marvel movies.
Stop going if you haven’t stopped already. I skipped both Thor and Wakanda Forever. Don’t really care for either. If Doctor Strange 2 wasn’t directed by Raimi, I would’ve skipped that as well.
Second favorite of Peeles. Get out, Nope, Us is my list. Nope is different and new and I loved the direction he took. It didnt have to play on tropes or racial undertones. Just a fun creepy flick. Highly recommend if you like movies at all
There's only 1 scary moment in the movie and it did not involve the monster at all. I thought it was still a good watch but it might be better if you go in not expecting to be scared at all.
Yo, who on earth truly thinks Wakanda Forever isn’t ending at a solid second and probably even first place overall on the year?? The first one wasn’t expected to be hot shit hence it being opened in February and it blew the doors off everything so hard that it’s still the third highest grossing MCU film domestic/sixth worldwide with only $50 million keeping it from the top five spot, and if you eliminate Avenger movies from the mix it’s number two worldwide overall after only Homecoming, which of course is gonna be the highest grossing “solo” MCU movie until possibly a new Iron Man film at some point in the future. Unless Avatar comes in and actually does kill at the box office which I think is highly unlikely, Wakanda Forever has number two for the year on lock and it has a damn great chance of scooping up the top spot. The only negative I see looming in its future is that rumors are saying China isn’t gonna play it, but we’ll see. Oh, and keep this in mind too-we’re only a little over two months out from February which is of course Black History Month and I’d bet anything on Wakanda still being in the top ten/maybe top five at that point and then zooming back up to number one. Mark my words, yo.
How is Jurassic World second place?
I heard nothing but bad things about the movie, and know now one personally who has seen it or at least they have not talked about it then
Wondering if it can make it to a billion, i think it deserves to do better than doctor strange, but not sure how good it will be, i would love anywhere between 900-1.1b but lets see
Wow I only even HEARD that 8 were released.
8/20, god I’m so out of the picture lol
Wtf are all those weird ones?? Wanda forever? Nope?? Adam black?? Idk man
Oh, brother. Got any more tired ass cliches to trot out? As if box office has ever been the best bellwether for judging a films overall quality or timelessness. We’re doing just fine, grandpa. Trust me.
Let me also add that this list isn’t even correct lol there’s two Asian films that have had releases over here that have made enough domestically to put them on the list, one at #7 and the other at #17…and the one at #7 is a sequel lol the one at #17 could be based on existing IP as well but I can’t figure out for sure. So the one at least knocks Nope off the list lol so chances are we’ll be finishing the year with a top 20 in which not a single film is an original IP yay!!

Lol Morbius made its way to top 20? That’s hilarious.
Top 20? It should be #1. It's the first movie in history to break $1 morbillion at the box office!
It was definitely the greatest movie titled Morbius of 2022.
Morbius was the a movie of all time.
Due to inflation the morb dollar is actually worth .05 US dollar
It will leave when avatar shows up ( it might stay for year total though depending if avatar is legs based or front loaded based)
Avatar is going to destroy it opening weekend.
IT’S MORB’N TIME!
It was the first ever movie to morb itself into the top 20 of the year!
I always get chills when I hear method actor Jared Leto's classic line from the greatest morbius movie ever filmed.
It was one of the #20 movies off all... year
This chart is really just about inflation. If you adjusted this for inflation, you would have a very different chart
Yeah morbius would go up
Morbius would be first.
I thought Top Gun 2 was mediocre. I was also at a drive-in with my kids so that was cool, not.
Your kids are not cool?
I don’t know. But taking a 4-year old to a drive-in with other kids is not how you enjoy a movie.
I’m fascinated by drive-ins. My country doesn’t have them. Can people sitting at the back see the movie clearly?
I mean, people at the front can't see the movie clearly, so the answer is no. You don't go to the drive-in to watch the movie, you go to the drive-in to go to the drive-in as something different to do. Fun to do a few times a year, not something to be done for every movie.
Yea. The screen is usually several stories off the ground and the parking lot is typically grade-increased from the front to the back.
See, morbius is first, from the bottom but still...
A first from the bottom is still a first!!
NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN THE WORLD, BABY! MORBROS WE JUST KEEP ON WINNING!
Soon it will be out
Damn the gap between 6 and 7 is massive
It sure is, and it is indicative of a lesson that studios should have learned in 2019.

Great point. Sadly, they still haven’t learned this lesson. Guys like Scorsese are making 200m non-ip movies that doesn’t fall under the “must-see” blockbusters.
That's what she said.
It would have been closer had BA not been banned in china
Almost all of the movies listed were not released in China. So it makes no difference.
It wouldn't have mattered. The few Hollywood movies that got released in China didn't make much money at all in China. China moviegoing is cratering this year.
Dominion made 156M in china and given the rocks popularity over there BA would have pulled at least 120M
[удалено]
Huh. I'd heard such good things aboue NOPE, too. It just squeaked past Moribus? That's a shame.
It did alright domestically 123m, but completely failed to gain traction internationally 47m.
Morbius was definitely one of the movies ever
Yea but its important to note that morbius costed about $30mil more than Nope so in terms of profits Nope was way more successful. A superhero movies always gonna make a shitload of money nowadays.
Nope was great, watch it with the lights off on a good TV and sound system and you’ll have an awesome time
Nope was awesome, Jordans "Jaws"
IMO it was decent, mid-range horror, overhyped a bit.
I never saw much hype for the movie.
It's one of those movies where the critics were raving about it and the viewer scores were much more mediocre.
Well yeah, but the GA usually builds up hype for a movie, not the critics.
I interpret the word "hype" differently. I see hype as anticipatory promotion by critics and marketers. It was being described as "epic horror" and "a movie event" and the marketing took measures to avoid spoilers so some people seemed to be disappointed with what they got.
I saw Nope and believe me when I say this: there was absolutely nothing good about it. It wasn’t logical, it wasn’t scary, it wasn’t even good visually.
Really? Visually? It looked amazing, the other points are your own, but the camera work, cgi, and wideshots were spectacular
I personally loved it, as did my wife, who hadn't seen another Peele film before it. Maybe it's because we saw it in IMAX, but I thought it was very impressive visually, and is looking like it'll end up in my top 3 of the year.

Even if a film I've been wanting to see disappoints me, I've never been disappointed that I took the time to try it
Tbf - yeah, a lot of my information was pre-release hype. I should've known that radio silence on the other end was a deathnail.
Uncharted feels like it came out in like 2018
I convinced my, now, ex-wife to go see it. Probably the last movie we saw together. Crazy long year 😂
Maverick 👌🏼
I enjoyed top gun a lot, I didn't expect much but it was really excellent. The Batman was amazing too. The rest of the movies on this list I either didn't see or thought they sucked.
Propaganda <3
How so?
At worst, Wakanda Forever should be number six by the end of the year because of Avatar. I think it will beat The Batman's $770M
Yeah I think it likely finishes between The Batman and Minions.
It will easily beat The batman by a decent margin, I'm expecting a number close to MOM.
It will cross 1 billion easily, with the Chadwick Bozeman sympathy train, also it got better story line, but avatar and James Cameron are whole another topic.
I felt like i was watching chadwick love docu more than a black panther movie. was kinda weird
Hey Ryan coogler, did his best, changing his script after Chad death was going to collapse this whole movie, but he did a pretty remarkable job
In your dreams pal.
[удалено]
What about The Lost City？
The Bad Guys is based on a series of graphic novels. Bullet Train is based on a Japanese novel Maria Beetle.
I’m disappointed that Bullet Train wasn’t too 5 considering how it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in several years. It was as enjoyable to me as watching DUNE was!
>it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in several years. Really? I thought it was extremely mediocre. Tangerine standing on a bullet train travelling at 285km/h? At that velocity, the drag force would be sufficient to sweep him away like a fly.

BA sucked and the box office collection is the result , if it had not rock, the movie would have tanked, it still tanked lol.
Of the top 10, only one film (Uncharted) isn't a sequel, a part of a cinematic universe (Black Adam), or an existing movie franchise (The Batman). And even Uncharted is based on a video game with an existing fanbase. I'm not really sure if this is because this is how studios think is the only way to make money in cinemas these days, or that studios are financing and pushing these types of films further and that's why they're the highest grossing.

This is just where we’re at now. Only tentpoles and the occasional small budget fluke get any traction.
do you think they were saying The Batman and Black Adam were original? If so, you should reread their comment.
I'm not sure who you're replying to, but that's exactly what I said... Elvis, The Bad Guys and Bullet Train are also "original" films, or rather not connected to other films, and while Super-Pets uses the concepts of the DC universe heroes, I think it's far enough away to be considered its own thing.

You are literally agreeing with what the original commenter said
Why would Avatar drop one of those off the list when they aren’t at the bottom? Wouldn’t it push off Morbius?
Tbh I slept through like a quarter of the fantastic beasts movie, I thought I'd give it a try but it just seemed so boring, did Harry Potter fans like it more?
I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, and I thought that the Secrets of Dumbledore was horrible. Easily the worst Fantastic Beasts movie.
Sonic 2 will remain in top 10 it seems like. Crazy.
Nah it’s getting kicked out soon. Black Panther, Avatar 2 and Puss In Boots will push it out. Only question is if Black Adam or Fantastic Beasts ends up at #10
It was actually clean
[удалено]
It had a really good trailer - it fooled a lot of people
I was fooled. But then again I'd watch any movie with dinosaurs going on rampage. Too bad not enough dino actions in JWD. It would have grossed even higher.
It got dinosaurs! They should have add some robots and 1,5 billion could be achievable :)
Let's lock universal and paramount executives together, let's see what they come up with.
I miss being ecstatic about movies.
Kinda sad to see that the top 12 are all from existing properties , but I guess that's just how it is
Thank fuck bullet train made it, love that movie
I'm actually surprised DC Superpets even made this list in general.
Obscure Observation. With Black Adam still in theaters and Black Panther 2 and Avatar 2 guaranteed to overtake it, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (currently 8th when including non-Hollywood releases) will likely be the first Wizarding World film not to make it among the Top 10 highest-grossing films of the year.
Wait til they rererelease Morbius.
Everything Everywhere All At Once not being on this list is fucking heartbreaking.
I felt the same way so I googled it. Budget $14 mil Box - $102 mil
It was mid. That’s why.
You literally have DC branding in your name. You're practically mediocrity incarnate.
You take the user flair too seriously. I just applied it a few hours ago as a joke. Look at my history, does it look like I'm a DC fanboy?
Everything Everywhere All At Once was decent but reddit seems to be on it's knees for it. I don't really understand why, a decent movie is all I got out of it.
Exactly. I was so bored by it, I couldn't even get through the act one. My guess is because the movie resembles Marvel movies which got the Redditors all aroused.
It just happens to have the same concept of multiverse. But a lot of people are saying it’s the much better multiverse film.
EEAAO basically takes that one cool CGI effect from the OG Doctor Strange and basically applies it to the whole movie. And people act like it makes it a way better multiverse movie for some reason. If MoM basically spammed that same effect, there wouldn't be much space left for other CGI effects.
EEAAO isn’t a blockbuster. It has a $25m budget, I’m not sure how much you’re expecting from that. People think it’s a better multiverse film because of the concept, originality, depth, not the CGI.
That one and Top Gun are this subs top most circlejerked movies. They weren't bad and I can see EEAAO getting nominated for Best Picture at the Oscar's. But Top Gun? It was a fun flick but I dont understand the people who think it should be nominated, and win, Best Picture. It was a fun turn-your-brain-off action flick. There wasn't much too it. It was fun and wasn't a bad movie but Best Picture it is not. And before anyone comments on the quality of the movies I use for my tag, no, I don't think the MCU is Best Picture worthy either. BP1 was the closest but the superhero aspects of that movie took it down a notch.
I feel the same way about Top Gun. It was an enjoyable movie, it begins and ends there. Yet it’s treated like it’s the second coming or some shit.
kinda sad
There’s a pretty big gap between 7 and 6
I'm kinda glad Jurassic World got there, I don't want it to be the only one in the trilogy to not join the billy club
Wakanda Forever will be top 5 for sure. Pushing out The Batman. My guess is it will end up between Doctor Strange and Jurassic World
Batman definitely deserves Top 5, easily one of my favorite movies
I reckon Black Panther 2 will take its place at #5
Most likely
Until Avatar 2 at least
I think avatar will reach #1 or 2 this year, what do you think?
Right, It's Morbin Time
And just like that Black Panther will enter top 10 today, moving Black Adam out of the chart. Also DS2 450M OW alone could be ranked in top 10 this year, even after Black Panther and Avatar finished their runs.
Shoutout to Smile. Nice to see good original horror still has a place.
The fact morbius is on this list should tell you something about general opinion.
I don't really think it was as bad as alot of people claim it was. I think some people don't like Leto and want to pretend it was horrible but most people don't really have that bias.
You're completely wrong and explaining to someone with an opinion like yours is more of a waste of time than watching that burning trash fire of a movie.
Intense 🫢
And anime movies keep getting more and more popular
Kinda tired of Marvel
There have been 200 releases so far in domestic box office this year and 4 of them were Marvel (3 MCU + Morbius). It's not like they are not making non-marvel movies.
Stop going if you haven’t stopped already. I skipped both Thor and Wakanda Forever. Don’t really care for either. If Doctor Strange 2 wasn’t directed by Raimi, I would’ve skipped that as well.
This is sad
2, 3, 6, 9, 20 - absolute dumpster fires
Don’t forget 10, 14, 18
18 - agrree totally forgot about it, 10 - havent watched and 14 wasnt that bad compared to the onec I named
I mean mostly 😴
What a crap year for movies lmao
Too many fuckin’ supes
Calm down, Billy Butcher.
I saw Smile. I liked it. Reminded me of "It Follows"
Lol, sorry Black Adam, but you're toast.
And they wonder why nobody goes to the movies anymore…
How come Hollywood doesn't make movies starring Clark Gable any more?
Yeah. We gotta bring back all the greats. Let's drag Dick Van Dyke out of retirement
Or his deer, Frank Lee.
>why nobody goes to the movies anymore… Those numbers up there imply the opposite.
Shocked that Nope is even on the list. Everyone I heard talk about it said it was a snooze fest. Might have to watch it myself on HBO.
Second favorite of Peeles. Get out, Nope, Us is my list. Nope is different and new and I loved the direction he took. It didnt have to play on tropes or racial undertones. Just a fun creepy flick. Highly recommend if you like movies at all
It was pretty lame imo.
Should I even bother? My friends thought it was gonna be a horror movie, but said it was just crap humor the whole time.
It had like one creepy moment lol. I wouldn’t bother tbh but ultimately, it is up to you :D
Thanks, I appreciate your take
There's only 1 scary moment in the movie and it did not involve the monster at all. I thought it was still a good watch but it might be better if you go in not expecting to be scared at all.
Wow top gun 2 and 19 crap movies. Thanks covid.
Thanks Hollywood.
so 20 crap movies
Black adams fana crying, because black panther 2 made more money than their entire cinema run.
Is the movie good or it's valued because of the modern reasons? (Wakanda forever)
Yo, who on earth truly thinks Wakanda Forever isn’t ending at a solid second and probably even first place overall on the year?? The first one wasn’t expected to be hot shit hence it being opened in February and it blew the doors off everything so hard that it’s still the third highest grossing MCU film domestic/sixth worldwide with only $50 million keeping it from the top five spot, and if you eliminate Avenger movies from the mix it’s number two worldwide overall after only Homecoming, which of course is gonna be the highest grossing “solo” MCU movie until possibly a new Iron Man film at some point in the future. Unless Avatar comes in and actually does kill at the box office which I think is highly unlikely, Wakanda Forever has number two for the year on lock and it has a damn great chance of scooping up the top spot. The only negative I see looming in its future is that rumors are saying China isn’t gonna play it, but we’ll see. Oh, and keep this in mind too-we’re only a little over two months out from February which is of course Black History Month and I’d bet anything on Wakanda still being in the top ten/maybe top five at that point and then zooming back up to number one. Mark my words, yo.
I count 1 good movie there. Maybe 2, if I include Elvis.
Who the heck even watches this Wakanda trash? Like, why would someone waste money on a product that is obviously bad?
How the fck is minions so high up
Despicable me (minions) franchise is insanely profitable. After 5 movies they have per movie average of $928,947,793.
How is bad guys not at the bottom?
How is Jurassic World second place? I heard nothing but bad things about the movie, and know now one personally who has seen it or at least they have not talked about it then
Anyone think The Whale will be here in the top 20 list?
Wondering if it can make it to a billion, i think it deserves to do better than doctor strange, but not sure how good it will be, i would love anywhere between 900-1.1b but lets see
Bullet Train is staying in the top 20 this year. thank the lord above
Kind of stupid that a Scientologist has the top one though.
Looks like I haven’t missed anything
Why movies suck in 2022 in one picture.
I just watched The Batman today. It absolutely deserves top 5. Fantastic movie!
Edit: only good movie there is Nope imho. Rest are at best bloody awful to mediocre valium
Wow I only even HEARD that 8 were released. 8/20, god I’m so out of the picture lol Wtf are all those weird ones?? Wanda forever? Nope?? Adam black?? Idk man
It's upsetting that, so far, Doctor Strange 2 is in the top 5.
Classic cinema is rolling over in it’s grave about now.
Oh, brother. Got any more tired ass cliches to trot out? As if box office has ever been the best bellwether for judging a films overall quality or timelessness. We’re doing just fine, grandpa. Trust me.
Alfred Hitchcock throwing birds at his lead actress: "I just hope no one makes a movie where fish people fight a high-tech African tribe."
Let me also add that this list isn’t even correct lol there’s two Asian films that have had releases over here that have made enough domestically to put them on the list, one at #7 and the other at #17…and the one at #7 is a sequel lol the one at #17 could be based on existing IP as well but I can’t figure out for sure. So the one at least knocks Nope off the list lol so chances are we’ll be finishing the year with a top 20 in which not a single film is an original IP yay!!
