 KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread Hey all,
Looking for feedback on what movies you want to predict for the next round of KJ's box office contest, lasting from September 8, 2017 through December 2017.
16 movies already locked in:
It
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Ninjago
Blade Runner 2049
Jigsaw
A Bad Moms Christmas
Thor: Ragnorak
Daddy's Home 2
Murder on the Orient Express
Justice League
Coco
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Downsizing
Pitch Perfect 3
The Six Billion Dollar Man
I'm struggling with this one, as I want 14 more, but am not sure which are most going to be the most high-profile (with the least amount of chance they'll gross under $5 million).
Please vote in the poll, as well as submit feedback for any others not in the poll.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread Obviously not 9/11, lol. But you should definitely include American Made.
Others that seem like obvious additions would be Ferdinand, Flatliners, Geostorm, The Greatest Showman, mother!, and Suburbicon.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread I've not even heard of Downsizing, and I was not even aware of The Six Billion Dollar Man coming out so soon. To see them as locks is a bit perplexing.

To see them as locks is a bit perplexing. Only included them given the Christmas release date and their casts - I hadn't heard much on them either, so they barely got included as locks. Still a lot of movies left to add in - so it's not like something big (that we know of) will miss the cut.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread Oh wait, this is for the Christmas game? Yeah, these locks are fine then. For some reason I thought there was another game in-between the current one and the Christmas one.

No one else would It would be interesting though because it could be a big awards player. Seems very likely it will get a Best Picture nomination. Plus it will certainly make more than that 9/11 movie.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread Don't be annoying/willfully obtuse, Algren. You know damn well Call Me by Your Name could be an Oscar contender. I believe we should definitely predict these: American Made
Call Me by Your Name
Ferdinand
Flatliners
The Foreigner
Geostorm
The Greatest Showman
mother!
The Mountain Between Us
The Shape of Water
The Snowman
Suburbicon_________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4. T2 Trainspotting - 5. Detroit - 6. Good Time - 7. The Beguiled - 8. The Florida Project - 9. Logan and 10. Molly's Game

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread The Six Billion Dollar Man is not going to come out this year.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread No. I am serious. I find it absurd that you and Mike think it will be an Best Picture contender.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread A drama, with a 98 on Metacritic, coming out via Sony Pictures Classics in the heart of awards season... Hmm.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread I just don't think the Academy will go for it. They honoured a gay flick last year.

But it's hugely expected to be nominated. Sure that can change but I really don't think it will. It will for sure be nominated for Adapted Screenplay but I expect more than that.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread If it were two lesbians, I would agree with you. But two white males ... it is so 2005.

Re: KJ's Fall 2017 Box Office Contest - Planning Thread Fall is tough since we don't know what the big oscar movies will be. The Shape of Water, mother, American Made and Geostorm are the only ones up there I care about of the poll choices. I'd definitely add in The Disaster Artist and whatever the PTA/DDL fashion movie is called. and Call Me By Your Name is gonna be huge on KJ, if nowhere else, so throw that in there too.
