Green means that it made more money than I predicted. Red means that it made less. Blue means that I got the prediction right.
I’m still pretty shocked that Blair Witch didn’t have a better opening weekend. Especially seeing as this has been a strong year for horror. Maybe it should’ve opened closer to Halloween. Not all that surprised that I didn’t get my Magnificent Seven prediction right. I’m not a western guy at this point in my life.
I got my Storks prediction right. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m always happy when animation makes money. Honestly, I’m a little bit surprised that Deepwater Horizon didn’t make more money than it did. The Peregrine‘s film, on the other hand, was a pretty easy prediction to make.
- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – $873 million
- Captain America: Civil War – $1,153 billion
- Deadpool – $782 million
- Ghostbusters – $228 million
- Independence Day: Resurgence – $386 million
- Sausage Party – $124 million
- Suicide Squad – $739 million
- Star Trek Beyond – $336 million
- Warcraft – $433 million
