We’ve taken a look at each of the films of the 4th quarter of 2017, but how is each month going to break down? Who will we be singing the praises of, and which films will be leading to studio executives packing up their offices?
Lets take a look, but there is something very unusual going on this quarter.
October
October 6
- Blade Runner 2049
- The Mountain Between Us
- My Little Pony
October 13
- The Foreigner
- Happy Death Day
- Marshall
- Professor Marston & the Wonder Women
October 20
- Geostorm
- Only The Brave
- Same Kind of Different as Me
- The Snowman
- Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
October 27
- All I See is You
- Jigsaw
- Suburbicon
- Thank You for Your Service
Other than Blade Runner 2049, there is nothing huge going on here. Jigsaw may get some traction, depends on how badly people want to return to the Saw universe.
November
November 1
- A Bad Moms Christmas
November 3
- Thor: Ragnarok
November 10
- Daddy’s Home 2
- Murder on the Orient Express
November 17
- Justice League
- The Star
- Wonder
November 22
- Coco
- Death Wish
- Molly’s Game
November looks pretty healthy with Justice League and Thor: Ragnarok. Coco is a big question mark I think. Two comedy sequels with similar scenarios are going to cannibalize each other.
December
December 1
- Polaroid
December 8
- Just the Start
December 15
- Ferdinand
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi
December 20
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
December 22
- Downsizing
- Father Figures
- Pitch Perfect 3
December 25
- The Greatest Showman
Star Wars: The Last Jedi… the only question is if it can get close to $2B or not. Jumanji may do okay. Pitch Perfect 3 will open well and decline fast.
Overall
There’s going to be some definite misses here. The box office has been in the garbage this year, and the 4th quarter is going to help, but it’s not going to save it.
My annual flop report is going to be a long one it seems.
