ICYMI-Bold Predictions: The Top Ten Grossing Films Of 2015 And The Nine That Won’t Make The Cut

Disney is going to make so much money in 2015 they’re recreating the Duck Tales title sequence in their offices.

 

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.  Especially after this downer of an Oscar season.  But what ten movies am I boldly predicting will be the top in the 2015 box office?  Before we get to the top ten, let’s see what nine films will miss the cut.

New Vin Diesel Movie Will Either Be Amazing Or Horrible…But It Won’t Be Amazing

Vin Diesel drives fast cars and carries big swords. He is not compensating for anything.

Lionsgate just dropped the first trailer for Vin Diesel’s new film The Last Witch Hunter.  It’s nice to see what Alfred has been up to now that Batman is retired in Italy, but otherwise this looks like the worst parts of I, Frankenstein and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters mixed up with some Underworld elements (but not from the first Underworld movie that was okay–all the other ones that sucked).  When are filmmakers going to realize that we don’t want monster movies based on the good guys?  If you make a movie about witches–make it ABOUT WITCHES and not someone hunting them.  Sigh.

See the full trailer for yourself after the break.  The Last Witch Hunter opens to horrible reviews on October 23, 2015.  Not even Paul Walker plans on seeing it.
