Tdogg if you're so sure. Let's draw the line at 760 mill :nerd:

200 reps
How much do you guys think it's supposed to do. 760 mill would be a massive success. That is bigger than any Xmen movie to date. Bigger than Suicide squad and ~ tied with guardians of the galaxy. That's a great number
 
Anything above 700 would be fantastic for Logan.

Tdogg says Logan will do 700 EASILY so he shouldn't be afraid to bet me at 760 mil :nerd:
 
naw bro, don't do that.
don't offer someone else a deal of 700 mil, but then when I want to do it, you jump back up to 760. I want 700.. period. dont matter how much i think it will do, i want the original bet.

you're like a sleazy car salesman. car is 20k, Zik roll in there you offer it to him for 18 k to get it off the lot, but then when I come in there you say 22 so you can make a profit. i refuse .
 
Damn, I've never been called a sleazy car salesman before :rofl:

Idk T. We can do 700 too but then I'd drop the rep bet to 100. If you wanna do 760, we can put 200 on the line. Doesn't that sound tempting :nerd:

Also Master Zik Master Zik T just insinuated that you look like a bum

how about this, 700 mil, 100 reps.

760 mil you add 50 reps.
800 mil you add another 50 reps and a personal statement of my choosing.

You're also completely sure it wont do 700 reps, so have faith in your own bet with my conditions.
 
Didn't The Wolverine only do like 500+ mil?

Also lets not pretend Deadpool is not an exception to R rated movies. That's not the norm. Its the highest selling rated R movie, correct?

Logan for now has a worldwide box office to possibly rely on.

:lol: I just read that metaphor amel and T did nothing of the sort.

I want nothing but the best for my favorite superhero but I'm thinking Logan does.. $530 million floor but ceiling is $620 million tops. Leaning more towards $530 million. The Wolverine only grossed just over $400 million.

I think people underestimate the great marketing plan that Deadpool had

^ id say in this day and age the movie has to actually be outright offensively bad to make less than 600mill at the box office. The Wolverine released today makes more than it did in 2013.

Dr strange did $650 million. A realitively no name origin movie. If we're talking about Wonder Woman, 500-600 would be expected. But This is Jackman and wolverine. Quite possibly the second most recognizable comic book star behind RDJ. With rated R violence. In his last movie.

K. I'll do this. But I'd like to add. If Logan fails to clear 600 mil...meaning you're more than 100 mil off your prediction.... You give me 300 reps. And a personal statement of my choosing.

You're so confident that it'll hit 700...so this should be no problem for you :nerd:

I'm not scared of your added stipulations. No way it's going to touch 800. I will give you 500 reps and 2 personal statements if it gets that far :rofl:

This is one convoluted bet. Where the NT lawyers at :nerd:

So if it fails to clear 600 mil. 300 reps and a personal statement for me.

If it clears 700 mil. I'll give you 100 reps, and 50 more reps for 750 mil. If it clears 800 mil I'll give you 500 reps and 2 statements.

If it fails to clear 700 mil but it does clear 600 , you give me 100 reps.

You have to throw in the fact that it's rated R and Deadpool is the highest grossing rated R film at $740 million.

Not saying that it can't happen but just cause it's 2017 doesn't mean that it WILL happen

deal, and this is screenshot-ed

no way this does under 700 period.
 
I'm going to say it hits 625 mil worldwide MAX

It could go below 600. That Wolverine/Hugh Jackman fatigue.

on top of him having one of the best parts in X men Apocalypse...

the people are waiting

3 years does not make much of a difference unless you about to post proof that across the board movies have grossed more and more at the box office every year or at least action and/or superhero movies.

Dr strange did $650 million. A realitively no name origin movie. If we're talking about Wonder Woman, 500-600 would be expected. But This is Jackman and wolverine. Quite possibly the second most recognizable comic book star behind RDJ. With rated R violence. In his last movie.
Dr. Strange had the Marvel branding something the other movies you named did not.

I don't really think I'd agree with Jackman being 2nd as far as being recognized as a comic book star. His solo movies do not support that at all. Not to mention Jackman has been doing this twice as long as RDJR and isn't even #1 :lol:

How many casual fans know it's his last time as Wolverine anyway? Like I said before there's the movie being good and the movie doing #s. Wolverine movies do not have the luxury of definitely doing a certain amount box office wise. Wolverine movies do not have the recognition Spider-Man movies do. It doesn't even break records. You can't say it's definitely doing 500 mil cuz it's Wolverine and Bugh Jackman starring.

They're gonna need the movie to be really good and get great word of mouth. If it has any Age of Apocalypse lameness or The Wolverine disappointment to it the movie won't survive in to April.
 
Reynolds and Jackman speaks on the Deadpool/Wolverine movie possibility.


Ryan Reynolds:

“I would love to play Deadpool for as long as they would let me play Deadpool. We have outlines and stories for a number of different films.”

“I have no idea if I can change his mind. It’s the audience: I would exclusively exploit that relationship to get Hugh back for another one.”



Hugh Jackman:

“I’m hesitating, because I could totally see how that’s the perfect fit. But the timing may be wrong."

Some of y'all got faith in wild movies.

Not surprising but I'd be shocked if Power Rangers gets that kind of Transformers nostalgia bump.
 
FOX studios marvel division needs their own Feige badly and soon.


Who would you want to be that guy?
Well most of the time somebody arises from within that's been there a hot minute.

Feige been a producer and rose up the ranks with other superhero movies (mostly marvel) to land the job. Over at DC films, Geoff John's literally started at the bottom as a comic writer while the dude he's running it with, Berg, been a producer and exec at Warners for a while. Producing comedies and most notably helping with Batffleck's Argo and Love By Night most recently.

So looking at FOX, first fire Simon Kinberg. Son is out. The Donners are out too. They can just collect a check. Never hire Bryan Singer again. Try to rope guys like Vaughn back in to things cuz he can clearly do better than First Class.

Maybe bring Avi Arad back in to really steer the ship. Looking at the outside and not knowing if these ppl even like superhero movies; Graham King, Joel Silver, Brian Grazer. Guys like that.

In a dream world, Kathleen Kennedy would take over and I would have nothing to worry about.

Maybe when he finishes directing his final film, Tarantino may want to try running an entire studio making crazy insane X-verse movies.

In reality, if there is a change, the new person may be a bit of an unknown and in their 40s anyway like how Feige came up.
