2015 Summer Box Office Predictions

Published by

1. Avengers: Age of Ultron – $615M – May 1

It’s hard to imagine anything else this summer coming close to the behemoth that will be Avengers: Age of Ultron. The first is the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time and the three Iron Man films are all $300M+ grossers. Add to the fact that the film has already opened in several countries worldwide last weekend to the tune of $201M (up 44% from the first one) and we’re looking at a monster.

Now any number of the films listed could flop (I’m looking at you, Ted 2 and San Andreas) and there are a handful of movies ready to surprise and take their place if they do. Any number of Pixels, Terminator: Genysis, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man, Vacation, Tomorrowland, Straight Outta Compton, Man From U.N.C.L.E., Pitch Perfect 2, Southpaw could prove to be the right mix for box office success in 2015. Put on the spot I would say of those film that Vacation, Straight Outta Compton and Southpaw have a good shot.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
