The Riskiest Box Office Bets of 2. Every year Hollywood studios toss a bevy of movies into theaters hoping something will stick. They’re not naive enough to think every movie produced will turn a profit, but they’re also anticipating each project will give them some sort of return on their generous investments.
Often, studio tent- poles have inflated budgets to work in impressive special effects or pay for an A- list celebrity headliner. That can often be a stumbling block when trying to recoup production and marketing costs – though not always the case. Disney’s last Pirates movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, was a critical mess but still made over $1 billion worldwide on just a $2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, or other big budget movies such as Transformers: The Last Knight, on this list. No matter how critically panned those movies turn out, they’re always going to make money – giving their studios very little risk on their massive investments. The fifteen movies we’ve decided to focus on this year (see our choices from 2. An overly- large budget, sub- optimal release date, historically tough genre, etc.
These are just the movies we think might have the hardest row to hoe when it comes to turning a profit for their respective studios. Here are our 1. 5 Riskiest Box Office Bets of 2. Monster Trucks. Release: 1/1. Budget: $1. 25. MJanuary is generally usually the month where studios send movies they expect to under perform, though that’s not always the case (see Lone Survivor. But, the failures far outnumber the successes when it comes to box office returns at this stage of the New Year. Paramount Pictures was feeling somewhat confident about their upcoming live- action/animated alien movie, Monster Trucks. After all, it does have director Chris Wedge (Epic, Ice Age) at the helm, was written by Derek Connolly (Jurassic World, Star Wars: Episode IX) and stars Lucas Till (X- Men: Apocalypse, Mac.
Gyver) and Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe). It’s possible the movie will be a light, fun family flick, but tossing $1.
Paramount has to be hoping that whatever this film (undoubtedly) loses at the box office, will eventually be made up in the home theater market. XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Release: 1/2. 0Budget: Unknown. Early in his career, Vin Diesel was making a name for himself in the world of Hollywood action movies.
The newest Geostorm trailer has arrived, and it packs in a lot of new action in the midst of laying out the story. The Gerard Butler-headlined sci-fi action flick Geostorm has a brand new poster.

October 2017 movie releases and movies that come to theaters in October 2017. Not every movie Hollywood releases in 2017 will be a sure-fire box office hit - these are our picks for the riskiest ones. Plot Summary: After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of.
He already had Pitch Black and of course, The Fast and the Furious (which is on its eight installment – The Fate of the Furious) under his belt but XXX was a completely different type of action movie – it was an Xtreme Xction movie. The film proved to be highly profitable at the box office, though the sequel starring Ice Cube failed to attract the same audience. Fourteen years later, Vin Diesel is back in XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and based on the action- filled (and absurd) trailer, he’s once again brought his love for all things extreme with him.
No doubt this franchise is hoping to get the same box office bump The Fast and the Furious Franchise did when Diesel returned in movie number four. As far as January films go, this one looks like it could be fairly standard high- budget/low- production/corny affair.
It’ll need to compete with Underworld: Blood Wars and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter for viewers, though. CHi. Ps. Release: 3/2. Budget: Unknown. From 1. California Highway Patrol (“CHi. Ps”) kept the freeways of Los Angeles safe from criminals, car accidents and various other mishaps.
Starring Erik Estrada as Officer Frank “Ponch” Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as Officer “Jon” Baker as two motorcycle cops, viewers enjoyed all their antics and acts of heroism each week – so much so, that a reunion movie aired on NBC fifteen years after the show was cancelled. In 2. 01. 4, Warner Bros hired comedian Dax Shepard (Robot Chicken) to write, direct and star in a movie adaption of the now- iconic TV show – which will also co- star Michael Pe.
Since then, the only news to come from the CHi. Ps production is a handful of stills and an announcement about moving the release date up five months – though the trailer did finally release recently. Like 2. 1 Jump Street and Baywatch, the movie is allegedly aiming for a hard R rating by including “crude sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language, some violence and drug use”. Power Rangers. Release: 3/2. Budget: $1. 50. MSaban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, without a doubt, changed the landscape of children’s television by redefining what definition of an action show.
Filmed partially in Japan and partially in America, fans of the show were thrilled watching the Rangers use martial arts and their Zords to kick the crap out of Rita Repulsa, her Putty Patroller minions and her seemingly endless supply of giant monsters. With over- twenty seasons under its belt, the show remains highly popular today. Movies For Apple Ipod Condemned (2015). The two previous Power Rangers movies didn’t exactly set the box office on fire twenty years ago, but hasn’t stopped Lionsgate or Saban Entertainment from pumping nearly $1.
Despite less than warm reviews on the Rangers’ suits and first trailer, fans’ expectations for this movie remain high. It’s a well known fact that fan and critic opinions often differ, so a panned critical response might not affect its box office returns.
However, if fans recoil from early viewings, it might put a damper on the six sequels the studio has planned. Ghost in the Shell. Release: 3/3. 1Budget: Unknown. The style of art known as manga has been popular in Japan for quite some time, but arguably, none have been as popular (or at least as influential) as Mobile Armored Riot Police – a. Ghost in the Shell – by Masamune Shirow. Shirow – who wrote and illustrated the series – targeted Japan’s youth (specifically adolescent youth) with his futuristic, cyberpunk story.
However, the series was so well received that its popularity grew all over the world. As a property, Ghost in the Shell is a mega- franchise – having several animated movies, video games, manga series and television shows under to its credit. There’s no doubting many in the fan community are eagerly anticipating the live- action version of the manga, but to the general viewing public, all they know is the film stars Scarlett Johansson, is set in futuristic Japan, and has a not- so- subtle (a)sexual vibe. The studio may need to tap into the pockets of those general viewers in order for this movie to reach the black. As we learned with Scott Pilgrim, the fan community alone generally isn’t enough to keep a property afloat at the box office – no matter how great it is.
The Lost City of ZRelease: 4/2. Budget: Unknown. To the average viewer going off the title alone, they might think The Lost City of Z was just another bland entry into the crowded world of zombie movies. Fortunately, this movie has nothing to do with the undead – though it does center on missing explorers.
The fabled Lost City of Z was rumored to have existed somewhere deep in the Brazilian jungle and became the obsession of explorer Percy Fawcett. Fawcett attempted three trips into the jungle in search of the city – failing on the first two, then disappearing on the third, along with his son and friend Raleigh Rimell. Paramount Pictures optioned the rights to the book by David Grann detailing the events surrounding Fawcett and his quest to find The Lost City of Z. While it stars the familiar names of Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattinson, they may not be enough to convince audiences to venture into theaters for this semi- biographical tale – as interesting as it may be. Biographies are already a tough sell, but The Lost City of Z also has the added misfortune of opening the week after The Fate of the Furious and two weeks before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Release: 5/1. 2Budget: $1.
Geostorm New Movie Weather Apocalypse Thriller. Once upon a time, Hollywood was obsessed with movies about killer volcanoes. That time was 1. 99. Volcano and Dante's Peak were the go- to choice for theater- goers who wanted to witness the world burn.
