No; I’d say Knock at the Cabin is the closest guess so far, genre-wise.

Please let it be Cocaine Bear...

It's M3GAN, right?

This is correct.

Guardians 3 will eek out a small profit, but Disney probably needed it to make a lot more.

The one thing I’ll say about Guardians is it’s probably relegated Chris Pratt to mindless stuff for the rest of his career, thereby keeping his crap acting out of my purview. Thanks Kevin Feige!

Im guessing its going to be a hit, but not a massive one. Doesnt feel here like something they are really pushing, but the movie is super well known and kids and teens will sure go watch it.

Fast X opened strong

The reviews seem to follow a similar line to Ant-Man. Effusive praise for one of the actors and then the "its not so great" part.

I would call Indiana Jones a success if it's in the top 5 at the end of the year. Will that constitute a financial success for the movie company? Probably not.

It might not even break the top 10.

Which movie has the biggest ratio between lowest critical rating and highest box office success? The live-action Lion King?
