In terms of what cinemas will make money wise it could be a record breaking box office year.
Who cares? That says nothing about the quality of the films.
Taken 3 - The first one was great, but the second was a poor cash-in. There might be hope that the third is put back on track, but not enough to make it a must-see movie.
Fifty Shades of Grey - Seriously, this is the worst idea for a book-to-movie idea ever. Its going to be a total failure and even if it isn't, there's nothing in the original story to make this a great movie. At best it will be shit that managed to make a box office dent.
Poltergeist - How many remakes actually end up good?
Insidious: Chapter 3 - Were the first two really that big a thing? Don't see this making much waves, even if it happens to be good.
Fast & Furious 7 - We all know what to expect. Crap movie that will go higher than its story should allow, simply because of Paul Walker dying.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 - How is this even in a list of films that will make a year great?
Jurassic World - Possibly, but the Jurassic Park franchise is like The Matrix; good original film and a sustainable franchise killed by awful sequels. Could go either way, but there's no guarantee of greatness.
The Fantastic Four - After the previous two? It could happen, but there's really nothing to make you assume it will be great.
Terminator: Genesis - A possibility, but there's a lot of bad blood that needs addressing among fans. Really no guarantee of anything great.
Assassin's Creed - I actually would love for this to be great. There is tons of potential, but let's be honest, films of games have a poor track record. I hope to be proven wrong, but I wouldn't use this as an expectation of a good film.
Fifth Bourne movie - Franchise kinda died with the last one. Don't expect much.
Bond 24
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2
Star Wars Episode VII
Mission: Impossible 5
Mad Max: Fury Road
Ok, I'll kinda give over to all of these. Bond is a guaranteed hit and has a good chance of actually being good. Hunger Games is pretty much on fire right now. Star Wars, enough said; could be crap, but will still be an event bigger than the return of Jesus. MI:5 could go either way in terms of quality, but is likely to be a big success. Mad Max is one of those stories that could actually benefit from a reboot. It could fail miserably, but it might just work out. Probably the one I'm least sure of, of those I think have a good chance. But if it works, it could be awesome. Could be dismal too, though.
I cut out a few movies form the list, purely because I think they are too middle-of-the-road to be even worth a mention.
Is there even an original film in there? One wonders for how much longer Hollywood can keep on regurgitating the same old formulaic crap aimed at adolescents.
2015 has some new movies but I listed those ones as they will be highly anticipated. Look at this year there's been movies like Need for Speed which is new to the big screen.
Well clearly, it's not going to be a big year for originality then!
This is all franchise cinema.
Stars Wars will be interesting, amazing original trilogy, a complete failure of epic proportion on the second trilogy, but thankfully that talentless idiot Lucas will be off the job so thats something.
I want it to be great, I really do, but all I see is Jar-Jar........Darth Fail......Pod racing....stupid script......child like storyline.......CGI CGI CGI CGI EVERYWHERE!
That 'talentless idiot' did actually create Star Wars and directed the original movie.
Amityville - Other remakes have been poor
Fifty Shades of Grey - GODS NO!
Poltergeist - why remake it?
Ted 2 - No just no
Insidious: Chapter 3 - not seen the first 2
Fast & Furious 7 - I lost interets in the franchise
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 - Another pointless sequel
Pitch Perfect 2 - not seen the first sounds rubbish
Jurassic World - Actually interested to see an update on this one
The Fantastic Four - NO NO NO NO NO! CAST SUCKS THE BIG ONE
Magic Mike 2 - Meh not seen the first
Terminator: Genesis - Will it bring back the greatness of the first 2?
Assassin's Creed - Excited for this one
Fifth Bourne movie - Let it die already
Frankenstein - Unsure of this
The Conjuring 2 - want to see the first one so this might be good.
Bond 24 - Bond yay or not couldn' care less
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 - overrated
Star Wars Episode VII - I'll hold my breath and hope it's good
Mission: Impossible 5 - Boring films
Mad Max: Fury Road - Looks interesting and possibly good
Overall 2016 looks like a TERRIBLE year for movies. No originality except a couple of movies and one of them is soft core porn.
Also, you know it's April right, a little early for a "movies to look out for next year" list when the blockbuster season hasn't even begun this year, no?
Has the Superman/Batman film been put back a year?
eta - yes, according to imdb, I know it wasn't in the list, was just wondering
eta again - yeah, like a lot or peeps, that list is pretty poor for me personally, would have been interested in the new terminator but I've seen the cast list, jurassic park 3 was pretty weak, films like fifty shades and magic mike don't exist in my world.
Anyone know if there is anything new out next year?
The Man from U.N.C.L.E
The Seventh Son
In the Heart of the Sea
The Penguins of Madagascar
The Avengers Age of Ultrom
Despicable Me Minions
Ant Man
Everest
Crimson Peak
Inferno
Tomorrow Land
Selfless
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2
Pixels
Doc Savage
Then there's 1994, which doesn't seem to be for any particular reason and just a happy coincidence that it saw the likes of Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Lion King, Four Weddings etc all in the same year.
Amityville - Hit or Miss
Fifty Shades of Grey - I think it'll make Mills and Boone and Twilight pale in comparison to the corny
Poltergeist - Meh remake
Ted 2 - it was overrated
Insidious: Chapter 3 - How many of these are they making?
Fast & Furious 7 - Not seen all the others
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 - not seen the first
Pitch Perfect 2 - I found it alright but not as groundbreaking as everyone else
Jurassic World - could be pretty good IMO especially with how much 3Ds moved on up lately
The Fantastic Four - I'm a MCU fan but Jamie Bell as the Thing?! Really.
Magic Mike 2 - Attractive men will always sell well
Terminator: Genesis - could do well
Assassin's Creed - This I'm looking forward to! Love, love the games
Fifth Bourne movie - wasn't that keen on the fourth but I think Bourne movies are always pretty decent.
Frankenstein - It'll be interesting
The Conjuring 2 - First one wasn't that scary but no doubt I'll see it
Bond 24 - Definitely a must see
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 - Love the books and think they'll do well
Star Wars Episode VII - god I hope it's half decent this time.
Mission: Impossible 5 - I can't stand Tom Cruise
Mad Max: Fury Road - could be decent
Now Avengers 2 and Star Trek 3 I'm looking forward to!
Avengers 2, Bond, FF 7, Minions, THG & new Star Wars. These are probably the tentpole biggies - $800m+ with a few joining the club.
Of the other major releases (which is all this thread is about) I'm intrigued by Tomorowland, Brad Bird's SF feature that has a lot of mystery surrounding it, and - an early hot tip here - the disaster film genre gets a healthy hit with earthquake drama/adventure San Andreas, starring The Rock.
