OK, The Revenant was not a Geek movie. Not really.
But I’m writing a review anyway. And I’m typing this Sunday afternoon, so I have no idea how many Oscars it will win by the time this goes live Monday morning. So, deal with it. SPOILER-free review after the cut.
In a January article by Gabbing Geek’s own Ryan Garcia, he predicted the 2015 Top Ten Grossing films (domestic). Rule of thumb says that to crack the top ten, a film will need to surpass $200M+. Some of Ryan’s picks were right. Some were wrong. Where will we wind up and what could spoil Ryan’s top ten list?
Well I got your facts about Mad Max: Fury Road….RIGHT HERE!
2015 is not going to break records at the box office. 2015 is going to utterly demolish box office records on the heels of two mega-performers and a market that is ready to have some fun in the movie theater again.

The fourth movie? Who knows.
Mad Max Fury Road comes out on May 15 and will have the first Batsoup trailer–which anyone with an internet connection will also be able to watch.

A bump in the road or sign that Will Smith now ruins movies?
