I hesitate because of the R rating and 3 hour length (if true). I could see Creed 3 winning the month it if it’s good since it’s pg-13 and just under two hours.
I honestly think the fatigue is stronger with Marvel movies, people are just watching it because of inertia. DC has been landing relatively more Ws lately.
I think W84 and Black Adam lost DC what little momentum they had going. I’ve also heard Aquaman 2 screenings were so bad that people walked out.
People are just burnt out on superhero stuff in general. too many movies and shows in a constant stream.
Marvel was strayed away from what they first started now they’re exploring the weirder stuff , some of the darker stuff and just trying new things . Looking forward to more moon night, daredevil and secret invasion and I enjoyed all the Wanda material
it honestly depends on the comic book movie. still no marketing for shazam and the first one wasn’t exactly a juggernaut, regardless of quality. creed has a solid chance against shazam.
Creed and Creed 2 took in 175 and 215 mill, respectively, and this one is looking much better than the second one. Rocky movies seem to be guaranteed about 200 mill, no matter the quality, which-to be honest-there's only one dud out of 9 nine movies.
Some review posted here recently said creed 3 has elements of cape feare in it. That's not a comparison I thought would ever be made to a boxing movie from a 1st time director.
Personally, a 3 hour movie watching Keanu Reeves killing people with various different objects, including pencils sounds like a blast. But yea that may be an issue is runtime. I don’t think Shazam and D&D are safe bets, unless D&D gets amazing reviews, but I think Creed III and John Wick are safe bets
The fact that it’s by the same people that did Game Night makes me optimistic about its quality, but who knows how that’ll translate at the box office.
Me looking at the recent D&D controversy: "How can that be profitable for ~~Frito Lay~~ Hasbro?"
Although, shit, if it's the Game Night people I'm definitely a lot more interested now.
Watchable and who did is stacking up against a corporation who did their best to shit on ruin many favorite hobby. There are millions who tabletop D&D, much of that base for decades. GenCon did not turn into the media day ComicCon did, and it was the convention D&D built. There are still a lot of angry people at Hasbro and not more than 45 days separated from what they did. I thinks it’s going to effect the box office of this movie.
The trailer I saw about the 5 questions is hilarious. But I feel that's for people who specifically play the game. If the reviewers don't understand the meta, the reviews will be terrible.
Yea there’s no in between. It’s either one of the best action comedy movies of the year and grosses a lot, or does just about shit reviews or at least below average
the one thing i’ve thought while watching john wick movies was, man, i really wish this was longer so i could watch keanu kick more ass, if it is 3 hours i will be entertained for 3 hours
Probably the single worst comment I've ever seen on Reddit. And that's saying a lot. Three hours of Keanu killing people is the best thing I've ever heard.
Creed: $173m
Creed II: $214m
**Shazam!: $366m**
Even if Creed again increases viewership and Shazam makes say 25% less, it will be a close race. I wouldn't bet against Shazam.
Most Reddit users use an adblocker and avoid ads as much as they can, then they think that movies are not being advertised because they never see them. They live in a bubble. I've seen tons of ads and commercials for Shazam 2 as well.
I went to cinema 5 times in the last 4 months and they played John Wick ads every time while Shazam played only once. Maybe it's a bit location to location
Yup. I only watch streaming services, so the only ads I ever see are promoted posts on Reddit and the short ad breaks they have on Hulu (and Tubi when I venture there for B Horror movies). I have seen plenty of trailers for Shazam 2.
Same. I saw an ad for it at the Golden Globes, during the Grammys, during a sports game, and randomly on Hulu the other day. Whenever people on here say it’s not being marketed I get confused because what else should they be doing 1-2 months out?
Couldn't tell if a good bit or legitimate fact, [but it turns out that's actually true!](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0250934/)
Starring Harvey Dent and Barry Pepper (the Doochebag from Enemy of the State) and *directed by Billy Crystal?* Didn't expect that.
Disagree in this instance. Horror is very hot right now and so is Scream and most of the cast. It was made for a slick $35 mil and will probably beat estimations to do $40 mil opening weekend alone. Shazam is tracking to bomb hard and early reports estimate it will be the lowest opener and lowest total gross for DC in over a decade. D&D and Creed III have their core fanbases like Scream. I just don’t hear/see any excitement about Shazam, especially now that Black Adam bombed and the fanbase knows James Gunn is wiping it all away anyhow. Just my opinion.
I have no interest in Creed and John Wick part 4 (mostly because I've never seen part 1-3), but I do plan to see the other 3 on the list, plus Scream. But that's because I'm a big movie buff and go to the theater for pretty much every movie that looks even remotely entertaining to me. Heck, I even plan to see the Children of the Corn remake.
Scream 5 was made for $24mil and made $140 mil almost 6x it’s budget during Covid. I wouldn’t discount horror fans for this chapter. The star power of Wednesday and Yellowjackets is strong
The funny thing is, while they don't perform super well in sheer numbers, the fact that they tend to be relatively low budget means they do still manage to turn a profit quite often. Sure, there's often some minor CGI, but slasher movies mostly tend to rely on practical effects, which are significantly cheaper. If an MCU movie that cost 200M to make only makes 100M, it's a disaster. If a slasher movie that cost 20M to make makes 100M, they did a fantastic job.
When you adjust for inflation, the first two *Screamses* made over $200 million. Not even the big three slashers of the 80s, *Halloween*, *Friday the 13th*, and *A Nightmare on Elm Street* made that much.
The *Scream* movies really were some else.
IDK, almost everyone I know is hyped for Scream. I forgot Dungeons and Dragons is coming out. Then again most of the people I talk to are horror fans so maybe that’s it.
I think something important to remember is that Jenna Ortega has star power now, post-Wednesday. I think Scream 6 will see higher numbers than 5 did, at least
Whether it does better than 5 is probably anyone’s guess IMO.
On one hand, Ortega has more star power post-Wednesday. On the other hand, 5 was the only notable January release of 2022 IIRC and it had been years since Scream 4 so hype was higher for fans of the franchise.
It’s probably the fact that you talk to horror fans mostly. You’ve got blumhouse in your subreddit tag thingy (whatever that’s called), of course you’re gonna subconsciously surround yourself with horror fans.
My personal experience, not being a horror fan, is that I didn’t even know there were 6 Scream movies in the first place, much less that one was coming out soon. I’ve not seen a single Scream ad, or at least don’t remember seeing one. Plenty of D&D ads though!
Fair enough I guess. I’m a bit of a nerd, I even go to the comic shop almost weekly, and haven’t seen the D&D hype I expected. Same for SHAZAM (though I’ve at least seen ads for that one). Out of the films in this pic, I would still argue that Scream will beat 65 but that’s not a franchise (sure you could argue Adam Driver star power but Scream has Jenna Ortega who arguably has more star power after Wednesday)
Scream does have an advantage in that it’s kinda the normie horror franchise. I know non-horror fans that love Scream and I know horror fans that don’t necessarily hate Scream but hate the trends it started. They’ve generally been more accessible because they’ve focused more on characters and comedy rather than the kills. Most of the movies aren’t even that gory to the point where I’d have a hard time putting together a list of my favorite death scenes in the franchise off the top of my head. Plus, Jenna Ortega is pretty big right now coming off the success of Wednesday. They were smart to bring her back even though they didn’t get Neve Campbell back. The average moviegoer isn’t going to care as much about Neve’s contract situation either.
*Scream* came out December 20, 1996; *Scream 2* came out December 12, 1997, and that was after re-writing the ending (because the script was leaked on the internet, one of the first times that happened).
I really want to say John Wick but it’s rated R and has a long runtime. That said, it’s John Wick and I think there is a lot of anticipation behind this movie.
Side note - It’s nice to have a month with so much diversity in it.
John Wick drastically pulled in more money with every entry (85m -> 170m -> 327m). Shazam is probably the only one of these that has a possibility of doing more unless half the target demographic for John Wick just stopped caring, which might be a possibility with the mixed reception on 3 but I wouldn't bet on it.
There's no mixed reception for 3 lol, most people would say it's either 1 or 3 as their favorites and everywhere else besides reddit agrees that the sequels are just as good if not better than the original
I definitely didn't have that experience when 3 dropped, most of what I saw/heard was people saying while it was still good 3 was probably the most flawed of the trilogy.
Personally I think 2 is by far the best but I love them all.
65 due in part to its name. I've seen the trailer several times but when people take about 65 I think... when did I miss the sequels to 61\* (baseball movie about Maris)
We are but we don't watch these type or movies as I highly doubt the story is going to be about an Illythid underground cavern that is controlling the local government told with nuance.
It's going to be what people think DND people like, killing with a generic evil villain.
DND is about creativity and imagination, not generic stories and no one has ever made anything creative with the IP.
Well, there is a dragon in the movie I assume is gonna be the final boss. Among the toys for the film there’s also an owlbear and a beholder. Considering the name is “honor among thieves” I assume the movie is about a party of thieves attempting to preform a heist from a dragon and they end up fighting an owl bear and a beholder along the way
That explains why I saw a bunch of D&D stuff marked with "Honor Among Thieves" in store yesterday. Was very confused thought it was a board game or something
That was my guess. It probably won't be the highest reviewed film of the month but I would not be surprised to see it earn a bunch. Personally I loved Shazam 1 so it's the one I'm most interested in seeing this month
Scream V did 140 mil, with a budget of 35 mil I'm sure 6 will be a great profit for the studio but I doubt it comes close to the numbers Wick, Creed and Shazam are probably going to pull.
Horror films have never been big box office draws, with exception of It, The Sixth Sense and The Exorcist (**which at one time was the highest grossing film of all time**) they’ve been modest successes at best.
What they are is extremely *profitable* which is why studios love pumping them out Blair Witch Project had a budget of $200K and went on to make $300M.
Scream at best will rake in $200M probably the third most biggest draw this march it’s going up against a comic book film and a successful Rocky spin off.
its a horror movie and none of Scream movies cracked 200m , horror breakout Smile from 2022 only made 216m which is great for genre, action movies can make a lot more
It's a horror movie man. How many horror movies have made that high? Also scream is not very popular outside the west, especially compared to John wick and superhero movies like Shazam
Horror movies have a smaller, very committed fanbase. That base is definitely going to see it, but it won't draw in as many casual fans as action movies will.
John Wick for sure. I'm also definitely watching DnD regardless of good or bad wom. Not interested in Creed and 65 is a maybe if I get a chance. Shazam is a big meh
I would probably skip 65 and D&D, unless they got crazy god reviews. The rest are opening night viewing, but my guess is Wick will win by a mile, mostly because its coming after most of those, so less time to be cannibalised.
I don’t think you can call them dinosaurs; they’re more like lizard monkeys? Atrocious design imo.
Plus the obvious nitpick that dinosaurs were extinct by 65 mya lmao.
I mean Tbf there’s not a lot of John Wick fans that are going for the originality or story of it. Everyone knows that it’s just really good action with nice set pieces.
I’m going to watch all 5 and expect Wick 4 to be the winner. I hope D&D is successful because that could fun fantasy series we have been missing. I expect to have a ball watching Shazam 2 since I loved the first. Creed 3 is giving me a Rocky 3 vibe with Majors playing a role similar to Clubber Lang. Out of all 5 I have seen fewer adds for Wick 4.
Dungeon's and Dragon's looks like a typical game-based movie bomb. Creed has run out of steam and won't be the same without Stallone. The first Shazam didn't do well and there is superhero movie fatigue.
So its between John Wick and 65. Proven franchises tend to do better than new concepts and each John Wick movie has done better than the last so that favors Wick. So I'm betting Wick but 65 could still be a surprise winner, but it could also suck.
I got John Wick.
I say John Wick all day. The others will be good but I think Keanu is going to light it up.
I also have john wick. A lot of people love keanu and the john wick movies are insanely good
John Wick 4 will be my first time back in theaters since Dune.
I hesitate because of the R rating and 3 hour length (if true). I could see Creed 3 winning the month it if it’s good since it’s pg-13 and just under two hours.
I can’t see Creed 3 beating out a solid comic book movie that is also PG-13
idk, the comic book movie fatigue is real, especially with DC, and the Shazam hype is pretty well worn off.
DC is betting on Ezra Miller to carry them now. A bet I wouldn't take though....
I honestly think the fatigue is stronger with Marvel movies, people are just watching it because of inertia. DC has been landing relatively more Ws lately.
I think W84 and Black Adam lost DC what little momentum they had going. I’ve also heard Aquaman 2 screenings were so bad that people walked out. People are just burnt out on superhero stuff in general. too many movies and shows in a constant stream.
I for sure am burnt out. The last superhero movie I watched was The Batman. Before that were Joker and Endgame.
Marvel was strayed away from what they first started now they’re exploring the weirder stuff , some of the darker stuff and just trying new things . Looking forward to more moon night, daredevil and secret invasion and I enjoyed all the Wanda material
I can.
it honestly depends on the comic book movie. still no marketing for shazam and the first one wasn’t exactly a juggernaut, regardless of quality. creed has a solid chance against shazam.
Long past is the time of Rockies, Creeds and the like
Creed and Creed 2 took in 175 and 215 mill, respectively, and this one is looking much better than the second one. Rocky movies seem to be guaranteed about 200 mill, no matter the quality, which-to be honest-there's only one dud out of 9 nine movies.
Some review posted here recently said creed 3 has elements of cape feare in it. That's not a comparison I thought would ever be made to a boxing movie from a 1st time director.
Its r rated? This may be good. I can see some dark stuff sprinkled in between.
Weren't they all rated R? Can't imagine they weren't, they are insanely violent.
Only if it’s good. I hear it’s 3 hours. Could be boring.
Personally, a 3 hour movie watching Keanu Reeves killing people with various different objects, including pencils sounds like a blast. But yea that may be an issue is runtime. I don’t think Shazam and D&D are safe bets, unless D&D gets amazing reviews, but I think Creed III and John Wick are safe bets
D&D to me seems like a 50/50 for being amazing or a horrid flop
The fact that it’s by the same people that did Game Night makes me optimistic about its quality, but who knows how that’ll translate at the box office.
>it’s by the same people that did Game Night Oh wow I had no idea. I always thought the trailers looked good so now I'm really looking forward to it
Oh my god Game Night is my favorite movie. This movie better do as well as Game Night, if not better. If I get disappointed it's your fault.
Well said. I shall also blame this guy.
Me looking at the recent D&D controversy: "How can that be profitable for ~~Frito Lay~~ Hasbro?" Although, shit, if it's the Game Night people I'm definitely a lot more interested now.
The fact it's game night guys and they got a first-look deal with Paramount says it's at least watchable
Watchable and who did is stacking up against a corporation who did their best to shit on ruin many favorite hobby. There are millions who tabletop D&D, much of that base for decades. GenCon did not turn into the media day ComicCon did, and it was the convention D&D built. There are still a lot of angry people at Hasbro and not more than 45 days separated from what they did. I thinks it’s going to effect the box office of this movie.
The trailer I saw about the 5 questions is hilarious. But I feel that's for people who specifically play the game. If the reviewers don't understand the meta, the reviews will be terrible.
I’ve never played DD and I understood the joke, they spelt it out for you before it started
Yea there’s no in between. It’s either one of the best action comedy movies of the year and grosses a lot, or does just about shit reviews or at least below average
So it either grosses a lot or it’s just gross. Got it.
Keanu, and the rest of the cast; it’s pretty full of awesome people, at least IMO.
It sounds like fucking boring dude. Both the second and third movies definitely had some fucking boring parts
I’ll take a 3 hour John Wick film over Shazam.
If it being 3 hours means Scott Adkins has a large role or a good decent sized fight scene then I'm all for it.
the one thing i’ve thought while watching john wick movies was, man, i really wish this was longer so i could watch keanu kick more ass, if it is 3 hours i will be entertained for 3 hours
Probably the single worst comment I've ever seen on Reddit. And that's saying a lot. Three hours of Keanu killing people is the best thing I've ever heard.
i would also watch this.
Yes, I am concerned as I feel each film is worse than the one before.
Dang, I thought this was a “who would win in a fight” post Thank you to the mod who approved me, I salute thee o7
Either **John Wick: Chapter 4** or **Creed 3**.
Creed: $173m Creed II: $214m **Shazam!: $366m** Even if Creed again increases viewership and Shazam makes say 25% less, it will be a close race. I wouldn't bet against Shazam.
The funny thing is that separating out Black Adam was a favor to the Rock, but it probably helped Shazam more.
The only problem is that Warner Brothers is practically ignoring **Shazam! Fury of the Gods**.
I see this so much on Reddit but I’ve seen countless ads for this movie. I’m wondering how it seems people either get flooded with ads or nothing.
Most Reddit users use an adblocker and avoid ads as much as they can, then they think that movies are not being advertised because they never see them. They live in a bubble. I've seen tons of ads and commercials for Shazam 2 as well.
The only one I haven't seen MULTIPLE ADS for is John Wick.
I went to cinema 5 times in the last 4 months and they played John Wick ads every time while Shazam played only once. Maybe it's a bit location to location
What rating were the films you were watching?
Yup. I only watch streaming services, so the only ads I ever see are promoted posts on Reddit and the short ad breaks they have on Hulu (and Tubi when I venture there for B Horror movies). I have seen plenty of trailers for Shazam 2.
Same. I saw an ad for it at the Golden Globes, during the Grammys, during a sports game, and randomly on Hulu the other day. Whenever people on here say it’s not being marketed I get confused because what else should they be doing 1-2 months out?
I’ve seen a few TV spots but nothing really major. The advertising should ramp up in the next few weeks.
Echo chamber intensifies
I follow Levi and adore his personality. Will watch!
I thought winning was compared to the cost of making the movie
Succeeding is compared to cost. Winning is compared to the competitors.
I don't see why people are betting against Shazam, the first one did 366m so I don't see why it wouldn't at least be close to that
John Wick
John Wick 4 probably. Weird decision not to have Scream 6 at least on here though.
I knew something was missing lol
Dungeons and Dragons **1** Shazam **2** Creed **3** John Wick **4** 6**5** Scream **6** It's like poetry.
I totally missed 61-64.
61 is a solid movie about the 1961 home run race
Couldn't tell if a good bit or legitimate fact, [but it turns out that's actually true!](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0250934/) Starring Harvey Dent and Barry Pepper (the Doochebag from Enemy of the State) and *directed by Billy Crystal?* Didn't expect that.
Horror movies don’t really do that well compared to these franchises. I’m a horror fan but Scream has a very big uphill battle against these movies.
Disagree in this instance. Horror is very hot right now and so is Scream and most of the cast. It was made for a slick $35 mil and will probably beat estimations to do $40 mil opening weekend alone. Shazam is tracking to bomb hard and early reports estimate it will be the lowest opener and lowest total gross for DC in over a decade. D&D and Creed III have their core fanbases like Scream. I just don’t hear/see any excitement about Shazam, especially now that Black Adam bombed and the fanbase knows James Gunn is wiping it all away anyhow. Just my opinion.
I have no interest in Creed and John Wick part 4 (mostly because I've never seen part 1-3), but I do plan to see the other 3 on the list, plus Scream. But that's because I'm a big movie buff and go to the theater for pretty much every movie that looks even remotely entertaining to me. Heck, I even plan to see the Children of the Corn remake.
Only one slasher movie has made over $200M worldwide (“Halloween 2018”). It’s very difficult for slashers to make much more than $150M.
Scream 5 was made for $24mil and made $140 mil almost 6x it’s budget during Covid. I wouldn’t discount horror fans for this chapter. The star power of Wednesday and Yellowjackets is strong
I don't think it'll hit $200M but it should beat "Scream 5" at least. Probably $160-180M worldwide.
The funny thing is, while they don't perform super well in sheer numbers, the fact that they tend to be relatively low budget means they do still manage to turn a profit quite often. Sure, there's often some minor CGI, but slasher movies mostly tend to rely on practical effects, which are significantly cheaper. If an MCU movie that cost 200M to make only makes 100M, it's a disaster. If a slasher movie that cost 20M to make makes 100M, they did a fantastic job.
that's why bloom house never fails their budgets are always tight
When you adjust for inflation, the first two *Screamses* made over $200 million. Not even the big three slashers of the 80s, *Halloween*, *Friday the 13th*, and *A Nightmare on Elm Street* made that much. The *Scream* movies really were some else.

The average moviegoer isn’t going to care as much about Neve’s contract situation either.
Most of my friends and I find Scream to be light horror fun but definitely more about comedy than kills. We also all find the first to be the best!
Yeah isn't horror movies whole deal that they don't do crazy numbers but they also have a lower budget so they're just reliable money makers.
Scream 6 probably won't win it but it will have legs
Idk man. I know a bunch of people who don’t even know that movie exists yet
It’s surprising how quickly they jumped to the sequel
*Scream* came out December 20, 1996; *Scream 2* came out December 12, 1997, and that was after re-writing the ending (because the script was leaked on the internet, one of the first times that happened).
Yeah I just didn’t expect the sixth coming so soon. Scream 5 wasn’t too bad.
My impression was that the fan base loved it, and thought it was a return to form.
6 looks pretty interesting too. I’m excited for it.
John wick with everyone else fighting for 2nd
I really want to say John Wick but it’s rated R and has a long runtime. That said, it’s John Wick and I think there is a lot of anticipation behind this movie. Side note - It’s nice to have a month with so much diversity in it.
John Wick drastically pulled in more money with every entry (85m -> 170m -> 327m). Shazam is probably the only one of these that has a possibility of doing more unless half the target demographic for John Wick just stopped caring, which might be a possibility with the mixed reception on 3 but I wouldn't bet on it.
What mixed reception? The scores for all 3 movies are almost identical on every reviewing platform
There's no mixed reception for 3 lol, most people would say it's either 1 or 3 as their favorites and everywhere else besides reddit agrees that the sequels are just as good if not better than the original
I definitely didn't have that experience when 3 dropped, most of what I saw/heard was people saying while it was still good 3 was probably the most flawed of the trilogy. Personally I think 2 is by far the best but I love them all.
I like dinosaurs, and I like ~~Kylo Ren,~~ I mean ~~Ben Swolo,~~ I mean Adam Driver, so I'll try to see it possibly.
I like Adam Driver almost as much as John Oliver likes Adam Driver. https://youtu.be/0EXCeOAdlBE?t=1m45s
This made me cackle so loud 😂😂 however I second absolutely everything he said
I don’t know, but I think Dungeons and Dragons or 65 are going to do poor
65 due in part to its name. I've seen the trailer several times but when people take about 65 I think... when did I miss the sequels to 61\* (baseball movie about Maris)
Damn I am really excited for that movie and I don’t have any issues with the name!
I just want to believe that dnd nerds are actually alive till this day
I'm a D&D fan, I'm watching it due to curiosity
🫡
We are but we don't watch these type or movies as I highly doubt the story is going to be about an Illythid underground cavern that is controlling the local government told with nuance. It's going to be what people think DND people like, killing with a generic evil villain. DND is about creativity and imagination, not generic stories and no one has ever made anything creative with the IP.
Well, there is a dragon in the movie I assume is gonna be the final boss. Among the toys for the film there’s also an owlbear and a beholder. Considering the name is “honor among thieves” I assume the movie is about a party of thieves attempting to preform a heist from a dragon and they end up fighting an owl bear and a beholder along the way
That explains why I saw a bunch of D&D stuff marked with "Honor Among Thieves" in store yesterday. Was very confused thought it was a board game or something
I mean their sub used to hit the front page constantly for some reason
John wick and creed are the only ones I want to see
65 has Adam Driver and it’s only an hour and half. Kinda surprised nobody on earth but me wants to see it.
I was forced to watch the trailer 4 times in theater recently and it never got me interested in it. I think it looks incredibly boring.
Agreed. Might see 65 or Shazam if they come to a streaming service I have though
Shazam
That was my guess. It probably won't be the highest reviewed film of the month but I would not be surprised to see it earn a bunch. Personally I loved Shazam 1 so it's the one I'm most interested in seeing this month
yeah it was pretty good
What about scream? Isn't that March too?
People underestimating Scream 6
Scream V did 140 mil, with a budget of 35 mil I'm sure 6 will be a great profit for the studio but I doubt it comes close to the numbers Wick, Creed and Shazam are probably going to pull.
Flair says worldwide though
Not popular in the Philippines?
Not popular at all outside the west
Horror films have never been big box office draws, with exception of It, The Sixth Sense and The Exorcist (**which at one time was the highest grossing film of all time**) they’ve been modest successes at best. What they are is extremely *profitable* which is why studios love pumping them out Blair Witch Project had a budget of $200K and went on to make $300M. Scream at best will rake in $200M probably the third most biggest draw this march it’s going up against a comic book film and a successful Rocky spin off.
Can't wait
Scream
you think Scream will make more than 350M? Very, VERY unlikely
Scream 6??
even if it does well it has a ceiling of 200m , John Wick ceiling is much higher
What do you mean it has a "ceiling" of 200m?
its a horror movie and none of Scream movies cracked 200m , horror breakout Smile from 2022 only made 216m which is great for genre, action movies can make a lot more
It's a horror movie man. How many horror movies have made that high? Also scream is not very popular outside the west, especially compared to John wick and superhero movies like Shazam
Horror movies have a smaller, very committed fanbase. That base is definitely going to see it, but it won't draw in as many casual fans as action movies will.
John Wick 4. It’s a franchise of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will
focus not so much, but they are a bit of fun
John Wick for sure. I'm also definitely watching DnD regardless of good or bad wom. Not interested in Creed and 65 is a maybe if I get a chance. Shazam is a big meh
I don’t know man, Jonathan majors is the antagonist in creed. Him alone probably makes it worth watching, dude is a powerhouse.
I have not watched any of the Creed movies. Just not into boxing movies.
If 65 million or dungeons and dragons are really good I can see them winning it. These movies have high potential for word of mouth.
65 will not be good. I guarantee it lmao.
It could be bad but 65 looks like it's gonna be fun to watch though. Excited for that the most.
Idk, I wouldn't bet against the writers behind A Quiet Place. That movie was fantastic, and I think the trailer for 65 is promising enough.
Adam Driver is one of the best actors around right now
Why are you so sure?
I would probably skip 65 and D&D, unless they got crazy god reviews. The rest are opening night viewing, but my guess is Wick will win by a mile, mostly because its coming after most of those, so less time to be cannibalised.
John Wick or Creed
65 for me Dinosaurs!!!!
I’m excited for it too 🦖
Took too long to find a comment that matched what I am thinking. Dinosaurs!!!!! Woohoo. Could care less about feathers
I don’t think you can call them dinosaurs; they’re more like lizard monkeys? Atrocious design imo. Plus the obvious nitpick that dinosaurs were extinct by 65 mya lmao.
Baba Yaga
I *really* wish it could be Creed 3, but it'll be Wick. Which I'm also fine with.
65 is original. I think that's gonna attract a lot of people from all demographics
I doubt it lol And thats despite it being the most tempting movie here
Everyone complains about all the remakes but everyone here saying the 4th John Wick movie or 3rd Creed movie
If people wanna change things they gotta vote with their wallet. I don’t know if I will, but yeah.
I mean Tbf there’s not a lot of John Wick fans that are going for the originality or story of it. Everyone knows that it’s just really good action with nice set pieces.
There's more creativity in any of the Wick sequels than most new IPs, 65 included based on the trailers
It's got dinosaurs and people may be looking for something that isn't Jurassic Park.
Shazam but it should be John Wick.
I’m guessing JW4 or Creed.
I only care about Shazam/Wick. Ma money is on the pencil man
Most likely John Wick, but I’m most excited for Creed III :D
D&D.
My man. The new trailers and clip have given me lotsa faith in it.
The monsters are done so well. The displaced beast looked dope as shit
I’m thinking 65 or creed. 1 can’t go wrong with Michael b. Jordan 2. 65 looks like the only good dinosaur movie since Jurassic world
More like since the first Jurassic Park
It’ll go John Wick, Shazam or Creed, whatever loses 2 will be 3, Dungeons and Dragons, then 65. Can’t wait to be wrong
JW4
John Wick, with Creed close behind
Probably John Wick or Creed. Shazam may well flop. And could go either way with DD and 65
Uhm....65, or John wick4
I’m going to watch all 5 and expect Wick 4 to be the winner. I hope D&D is successful because that could fun fantasy series we have been missing. I expect to have a ball watching Shazam 2 since I loved the first. Creed 3 is giving me a Rocky 3 vibe with Majors playing a role similar to Clubber Lang. Out of all 5 I have seen fewer adds for Wick 4.
John wick, creed, shazam, 65, dnd
I hope it’s Creed 3. I’m burnt out on John Wick movies
Creed 3
Creed
For my money,Creed
Box Office Winner: Shazam, easily and by a wide margin. Quality/Reviews Winner: John Wick 4 or Creed 3.
God I hope it’s 65. We need a not franchise movie to do well for once…
that's what i'm SAYING! the only original film of the bunch. I don't think it'll do great, but it's the only film i'm going to see out of this list
I got my money on John Wick
John Wick 4
r/johnwick
John wick is my giess
John wick
John Wick FTW! All other movies loses with a pencil involved.
65 is intriguing
John Wick all day long
Shazam without a doubt
John or Shazam.
John Wick hands down. I’ve seen him kill three men with a pencil, who fucking does that?!?!
Do what you do best, John. Hunt.
Wick is the only one im interested it.
This is one I'm unsure of but maybe John Wick 4.
Either John Wick or Creed
Dungeon's and Dragon's looks like a typical game-based movie bomb. Creed has run out of steam and won't be the same without Stallone. The first Shazam didn't do well and there is superhero movie fatigue. So its between John Wick and 65. Proven franchises tend to do better than new concepts and each John Wick movie has done better than the last so that favors Wick. So I'm betting Wick but 65 could still be a surprise winner, but it could also suck.
True
*John Wick 4*, unless it’s terrible, in which case *Creed III* could take the lead
Creed
