Good question.... honestly, i have no idea. I am totally open to it
The Box Office Predictor Game 2024
- Thread starter Morpheus 02
- Start date
Oh, hey... I will not be doing this EVERY month... but what the Box Office currently has ranked... January definitely does NOT have anything that will be in the top 15....
I won't do this every month, but maybe every 2 months or so starting in April?
1 Mean Girls = $66,439,605
2 The Beekeeper = $49,826,919
3 Night Swim = $28,846,150
4 Argylle = $18,510,160
5 The Chosen: S4 Episodes 1-3 = $7,937,936
6 I.S.S. = $6,394,197
7 The Book of Clarence = $5,940,877
8 Origin = $3,478,693
9 Queen Rock Montreal = $2,000,000
10 Fighter = $1,000,000
(Just FYI, Films released in December made up 6 of the top 10, if you included those films, and they were # 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10

So I've attempted to assemble a list of what's likely going to lose the most relative to its budget. Had to leave a lot of movies out of consideration entirely due to there being no information whatsoever about what the budget might be (or maybe some of its there but impossible to find since a lots of these films are too small for people to care ahead of time and/or have some unbelievably generic titles).
Here's what I've got:
Argylle - Kind of a gimme, it's already bombing and it's budget is apparently massive.
The Book of Clarence - Also a gimme, 40m budget and earned about 6m ww, already gone from theaters.
Kraven the Hunter - Budget well over 100m, I doubt it reaches 100ww.
Madame Web - Slightly cheaper than Kraven, but I expect with even less to draw people in.
Red One - The budget isn't available, but they paid 50m for the Rock alone so at minimum it's got to be either a ridiculously oversized budget for this type of movie or they've cheaped out on everything except the Rock. Either option is bad news for profitability, and looking at the concept, the pictures and the actual financial history of the Rock's 'pull' in recent years, I wouldn't peg this one as particularly successful even with a reasonable budget and good production.
Horizon: An American Saga Part 1 - Budget is apparently 100m spread over both parts 1 and 2, which isn't awful. However, Costner has never really been a major draw, westerns are hit and miss at best (and I don't see a lot of reason to expect this one to hit), and I doubt audiences will be eager to flock to a western that's advertised as 'Part 1'.
Civil War - I put this on my other list, too, in the theory that it could be topical in just the right way and catch fire. If it doesn't, though, it's hard to see it making more than 30-50m and it cost 50m to make.
So that's two gimmes that we can already see and a list of 5 predictions.
I'll also note I have massive doubts about Mufasa: The Lion King and Gladiator 2 being even remotely successful and I expect them both to have massive budgets though no info is available on that yet so I don't think I have enough info to really serious consider if they belong on this list or not.

I don't think it will crack the top 10, but the Super Bowl showed an "original" movie that might do well in 2024 amid all the sequels: Dev Patel's Monkey Man
So here i don't see ANY of them lasting after June , let alone the top 10 of the year.
(This doesn't include 2023 releases which dominated the box office, leaving us with this weak offering)

Dune is started yesterday, so it's the beginning of the season... but i am wondering with Dune 2, Kung FU Panda 4 and GHostbusters so close together.... will it sabotage the success of all 3? Will all 3 still be able to stay in the top 10 by the end of the year??
@The Knappos can you message me your e-mail? I was wondering if i could use your old spreadsheets?

I am a little surprised and disappointed at Ghostbusters' numbers... but i didn't realize at the time it was sandwiched between Kung Fu Panda and Godzilla x Kong, which i think drained the potential audience (kinda like what i think happened to The Marvels --as ONE of many factors). I was thinking SPring Break would have helped it a little. I don't anticipate much change for about a month... Godzilla v Kong will definitley take #3 by next week, but not sure if it will over take Kung Fu Panda.
And so far, we have, if my calculations are correct:
4. @The Knappos with 8 points
3. Morpheus02 with 11 points
2. @Grendelsbayne with 11 points (but winning on sliding tiebreaker scale)
and so far, our leader is
1. @valkyrie013 with 13 points
But we still have 3/4 of the year out, and lots of major majors NOT yet out. SO we shall see for sure later.
I will also post up lists that show what our COLLECTIVE top 15 are, based on averages of 2, 3, and ALL of us . (That last list only has 6 movies that made ALL of our lists (including the DH list)

Woo hoo, Early celebrating because I'll probably lose.. Woo hoo! 
A current update, just before we start getting into our big movies which many of us are expecting to be 2024's real leaders.

me, @Morpheus 02 at #4 with 9 points
@valkyrie013 and @Grendelsbayne are tied at 11 points (though technically Valkyrie i believe is techncially in 2nd place, due to nominating Wiinie The Pooh 2 (a.k.a. Pooh Pooh to me), which , by earning $533,000, qualified in the #8 line of tie-breakers)
with @The Knappos leading at 12 points. Congrats!
I am not sure when the next time i will post an update, since we entering the hot time for this race. Maybe just before Deadpool releases??? (i might also post what our avergae rankings are, just to get a sense of what we are collectively thinking).
p.s. I am shocked at how successful Dune 2 has been, especially comapred to the 1st one. i am definitely interested to see how this year turns out.

Thanks for saying I’m first. However, unlike a politician, I’m going to be honest..
The way I work it out, I’m on 8..
3 points for Ghostbusters (nominated at 8, placed at 4)
3 points for Dune 2 (nominated at 10, placed 1st)
1 point for Mean Girls (Dark horse nomination)
1 point for Godzilla x Kong (Dark horse nomination)

Oops! Sorry about that! I put Civil War in the wrong column, and had the wrong point total for Dune for you.
My new total says @Grendelsbayne is the first trimester winner
I am going to wait till after this weekend to post an update (I am assuming that Inside Out 2 will outrank Dune 2 at that point, considering it reached #2 in its first week out).
But while we are waiting, i wanted to post a couple of lists...
The ranking of movies where all 4 of us had ranked them:
We will see how it pans out... Dune 2 might actually make it to #5
Oh, the list where only at least 3 agree:
For the current actual ranking, go to Box Office Mojo 2024 rankings
But while we are waiting, i wanted to post a couple of lists...
The ranking of movies where all 4 of us had ranked them:
- Deadpool 3 AVG = 2.25
- Ioker 2 AVG = 3
- Despicable Me 4 AVG = 5
- Dune 2 AVG = 5
- Venom 3 AVG = 6.75
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire AVG = 10

Thought this would be a good time to do a quick check-in, with the next one maybe around August 19. So our current box office list says:
Which , if i calculated right, gives us the following:
and congrats to our mid-year winner
But with a couple of anticipated blockbusters, those points could change dramatically by the end of the year.
| 1 | Inside Out 2 | $533,823,699 | 4,440 | $533,823,699 | Jun 14 | Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures |
| 2 | Dune: Part Two | $282,144,358 | 4,074 | $282,144,358 | Mar 1 | Warner Bros. |
| 3 | Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire | $196,350,016 | 3,948 | $196,350,016 | Mar 29 | Warner Bros. |
| 4 | Kung Fu Panda 4 | $193,590,620 | 4,067 | $193,590,620 | Mar 8 | Universal Pictures |

| 6 | Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes | $169,635,255 | 4,075 | $169,635,255 | May 10 | 20th Century Studios |
| 7 | Despicable Me 4 | $122,500,325 | 4,428 | $122,600,325 | Jul 3 | Universal Pictures |
| 8 | Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire | $113,360,583 | 4,345 | $113,360,583 | Mar 22 | Sony Pictures Releasing |
| 9 | IF | $110,757,363 | 4,068 | $110,292,363 | May 17 | Paramount Pictures |
| 10 | Bob Marley: One Love | $96,893,170 | 3,597 | $96,893,170 | Feb 14 | Paramount Pictures |
Which , if i calculated right, gives us the following:
4. Grendelsbayne with 19 points |
3. Valkyrie013 with 25 points |
2. Morpheu02 with 28 points |
1. The Knappos with a whopping 37 points! |
Wanted to wait until this weekend for the latest update...it looked like Bad Boys was possibly going to overtake Kung FU Panda, but looks likeit just fell short. ANd Borderlands turned out to be a huge failure instead of the one orginal non-sequel movie for the 2024 Top 10. I guess that ain't happening.
So the current list from Box Office Mojo (the link will have most updated list)
And if my calculations are correct:
#4 @valkyrie013 with 23 points
#3 @Grendelsbayne with 27 points
#2 @Morpheus 02 with 32 points
and our current chapmion @The Knappos with 35 points, including two 10 point predictions!
Congrats!
I wonder how many of the current top 10 will be around Dec. 31?
So the current list from Box Office Mojo (the link will have most updated list)

and our current chapmion @The Knappos with 35 points, including two 10 point predictions!
Congrats!

Madame Web was absolutely horrible
Don’t jinx me with the 10 pointers. Everything can change between now and 31st December
I know I need to add Beetlejuice 2, but I'd like to wait until Venom 3 gets a chance to compete the next couple of weeks.
In The meantime, I saw this about biggest bombs so far... one was favored a couple people here...

I liked Madame Web
Wicked and Moana are still generating interest....even though we all did NOT expect Karven to do well at all, I was diasspointed by early news of the Lord of the RIngs anime. My fmaily cancelled plans for me to watch it today on my borthday, so i will unfortunately contribute to its lack of success....it was my last entry in the game... any thoughts on are we just about done ...at least no new surprises?
Just wanted to give a current Box Office list.... in about 2 weeks we will have the final results., but here's what we have
with Moana most likely going to up a rank by the end of the year. Looks like no other contenders at this point...but you never know.
Also interetsing that 90% (literally) are sequels... and the 1 non-sequel is based on an IP that is a play, and (to my understanding essentially a remake of that musical)
I am working on the 2025 game write-up, but feel free to start developing your lists.
