Even if Haunted Mansion flops in the summer, it isn't released until Thanksgiving.

You're allowed to vote multiple titles. The % isn't very accurate. It should indicate the '% of people who think so and so will flop'.

LARA CROFT was a hit but the majority didn't like it.
ADDAMS FAMILY, WAYNE'S WORLD, GREMLINS were blockbuster hits but were not good movies so when the sequals came out it bombed big time.
So this should happen to LARA CROFT.

I hated and I mean hated the first Fast and the Furious. I hope the second one bombs.
And the movie based on a theme park ride, Pirates of the Carribean.
Whats next a movie based on the Haunted House ride?
Ooops, they are going to do that arent they.
Disney, what is wrong with you?

Do we really need another Exorcist movie?

I guess I was looking ahead to this year's Christmas season a little bit too early.

Gremlins is considered a classic. The sequel didn't do as well because it wasn't that great and a chunk of the audience had grown up.

I think LXG will flop. I get vibes that Tomb Raider 2 might actually be cool. They're saying all of the right things in the press, plus some of the actors surrounding Angelina Jolie are pretty cool. If they have enough visuals to make attractive ads, I think it will still open to 30+ million, and if the film is entertaining, it'll beat the box office of the first one.

Quality is subjective........BO offers a more objective ground to work on.
