Summer 2015: Hits and Misses!!

[@wouhoulifeisamazing]

"the female audience didn't have a lot of options" wow, didn't know I've been enjoying "movies for men" all this time.

[@willkizer9039]

+Woohoo! Lifeisamazing they have to appeal to more "feminist" audiences per-say on Screen Junkies :/...

[@JefeTheSituation]

+Woohoo! Lifeisamazing Yeah sorry. You can't see Mad Max or Ultron unless you're a guy. Its a law now.

[@galacticgrandmas]

+Orion Maximus mad max is super feminist!

[@natesanders7173]

Feminism strikes again

[@willkizer9039]

I must agree with Nate Sanders, Feminism strikes again... Mad Max is not feminist in any way, it just doesn't make women objects like many and most other movies do. It gives women respect instead of ridicule. (The director himself said the movie had nothing to do with feminism). Just because there is a female lead in an action movie it does not mean that it is feminist propaganda! Learn the distinction, mass audiences, between strong female leads and feminist propaganda in film.

[@wickkidda]

Hey, Dan's hatred for Terminator: Genisys finally paid off. And Star Wars is definitely going to win in the end. Star Wars is so important dead people are going to rise from their graves to go see it, and then probably re-see it again and again and again.

[@renkalix1053]

Amen

[@Monkeymosh]

Agreed, Star Wars could be utterly terrible and still make more money than any of these, I think it will be very good because I trust J.J. But its such a beloved property that it just doesn't matter.

[@lisazoria2709]

John Norris So true. I think it'll end the year in a big way regardless if it's good or not. But I got faith in J.J., may he finally bring balance to the Force! XD

[@retto228]

+wickkidda Sadly, no film could live up to the hype that Star Wars is getting, I just hope it's good.

[@wickkidda]

+Cot cot I was never really a Star Trek fan so I loved J.J.'s ones, but I know some Star Trek fans have some problems with them, and like Dan or maybe someone else on the ScreenJunkies said, if you think of them as Star Wars movies they're really good. Apply that to actual Star Wars and I think it's going to bring people to tears. The trailers alone already are. One thing I noticed about J.J.'s films is he's outstandingly good at adding emotions, and taking you on a ride while also creating little moments that have the charm of old Spielberg and Lucas movies. Plus, with the prequels in our past we know exactly how NOT to make a Star Wars movie, so that's a perfect contrast from which to build the new ones. I think we're lucky this time around. I have tons of faith in him. There's too much love for Star Wars for this to not be fucking epic, and I think J.J. really gets that. Not to mention Disney is attached somehow, and that has to mean something good. Look what it did for Marvel.

+Screen Junkies Movie fight question Fantastic four, Jurrasic World, Pixels, Selfless: Which was the worst movie of 2015 Summer

[@TheGoldSwordSquad]

+Brittney Bailey yes

[@josephorren8980]

+Screen Junkies You guys should add a link to the prediction episode.

[@moviefan2596]

Inside Out made more money than Minions

[@rasmuspersson4558]

terminator genisys was better than I expected (it made me all nostalgic), but I HATE jurassic world. Jurassic world to me just tooka a big#@$¥£€#$@ on the original jurassic park (which was a true masterpiece)

[@MiroslavGnjatovic]

The thing that worked in Jurassic World's favor for it to gross so much money was a number of combined factors. 1. Chris Pratt's rising star power from Guardians of the Galaxy 2. The built-up anticipation for another Jurassic Park movie after 14 years since the last one. 3. The people's love and nostalgia for the original Jurassic Park and the promise of returning the franchise to its former glory with Jurassic World.

[@DavidParody]

Jurassic World was a HIT! Hope to see more of Chris Pratt

[@FBNdude]

Not sure if it was poor marketing or what, but Man From UNCLE got very little recognition and it could be a strong contender for best of the summer. And before you start flaming, go watch it.

[@Afineaddition]

I loved it.

[@TheJuhana]

Too much CGI otherwise it was very much fun

[@ilikemoviesandmore]

it was meh

[@peterstangl8295]

+Craig Stewart Saw it, kinda liked it. But it wasn't that good, imho.

[@benabramowitz18]

+Craig Stewart It came out right after Rogue Nation, so people didn't need to see yet another spy movie two weeks later.

[@RyanHollinger]

Did anyone see The Gift? Joel Edgerton's directorial debut - it was very impressive and a solid psychological thriller.

[@benabramowitz18]

Well, it's a good thing that Pixels bombed. RIP Adam Sandler's film career!

[@TheMagicRat933]

+Benjamin Abramowitz Jack and Jill earned less money than Pixels, and that wasn't enough to stop Sandler. The product placement also make Sandler's movies a lot of money.

[@benabramowitz18]

+TheMagicRat933 Pluto Nash made less than A Thousand Words, but it took the latter to finally kill Eddie Murphy's career (10 years too late).

[@WeedleInTheBathroom]

I fucking hate Adam Sandler with a passion! I hope he never makes movies again but he bloody will

[@kingkusnacht]

+WeedleIn TheBathroom He is already making another one about native americans, I apologise to all native americans in advance.

[@WeedleInTheBathroom]

+kingkusnacht Wow, I bet it's an unfunny steamy pile of shit, i don't know why most of my mates think he's funny!

[@Evenmoresteven]

Anyone who thinks that Star Wars isn't going to be the biggest movie of the year is just plain wrong.

[@TheLouisReyford]

+MattsAttack-BRFC You underestimate the dedication of star wars fans....

[@PredatorCharlie]

+Evenmoresteven They talked about will Star Wars make more money in 2015, in its box office first week, I dont think so. Its too close to Xmas. I live in Canada, surely for kids and even someone with a car, it can be a wild card going to a theater in a snowstorm and all busy preparing for Christmas. At long term, I think it will be the movie that makes more money, but NOT in its first week!

[@PredatorCharlie]

+MattsAttack-BRFC Like I said to him similar like you, dont forget Canada, we can have a freezing time and desserts of snow pretty fast, depends on how Miss Nature feels by the end of this year.

[@GermanLeftist]

+Evenmoresteven It will be more successfull than any other movie coming out this year, but not in the year itself. It has too little time to overtake Jurassic World. It may come close, but my money is on early January for overtaking JW and I would even bet some money on overtaking Titanic. I'm not so sure about Avatar though.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

More like plane wrong since it's 9/11 tomorrow lol get it

[@dynamitejimi]

Straight Outta Compton was my favorite movie of the summer. Easily.

[@StephySon]

+Josh Jelks I literally kept saying it was gonna be a great movie but everyone ignored me! That was one of the best biopics and its time period and its connections with modern troubles socially and in music was gonna reverberate with audiences!!!!

[@SGlongboard]

+Josh Jelks except for the fact that a good amount of it is bullshit and Dr Dre twisting the truth and pretending events didnt happen to make himself not look like an asshole.

[@geoffrobinson]

+Sawyer Gaines don't take biopics as gospel truth and as entertainment instead and I think you'll be fine Everything from Inherit the Wind to the Blind Side wasn't 100% accurate.

[@TheJerbol]

+Sawyer Gaines Exactly, yet nobody talks about it. geoff the problem is a lot of people do take them as gospel, like that fucking American Sniper movie

[@nikkilee3840]

+Josh Jelks One of my faves as well.

[@ArteAlen]

Fant4stic BETTER THAN Terminator Genysis? What the hell is dan smoking.

[@maranakurippu]

Opinions....

[@Predaguy]

+ArteAlen Genysis was awful, but Dan is definitely exagerating there.

[@ArteAlen]

predaguy I wont lie Genysis was not good but it was entertaining (At least for me) but Fantastic 4 was a tragedy.

[@TakeThisification]

+ArteAlen I think Dan's reasoning is: Fant4stic was boring, but Genysis was painful to watch.

[@Inkmonkeywoodis]

+ArteAlen I think it might be an expectation thing... I get the impression that he didn't really care about the Fantastic 4 and likely didn't have any major expectations for the film, so having it turn out to be terrible probably wasn't as big a loss in his mind compared to the mess that Genisys turned out to be.

[@EmersonFlemingEmRock13]

Haha. Erin's face when they brought up Tomorrowland.

[@DTC_95]

My 8 Favorite Summer Films of 2015 1.) Avengers: Age of Ultron 2.) Mad Max: Fury Road 3.) Jurassic World 4.) Inside Out 5.) Ant-Man 6.) Southpaw 7.) Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation 8.) Straight Outta Compton My 4 Ok-ish Movies of This Summer 1.) Spy 2.) Ted 2 3.) Tomorrowland 4.) Minions Top 2 Hated Films of This Summer 1.) Fantastic 4(Fantastic Bore) 2.) Terminator: Genysis This year was kinda hard to pick what would end up on the Top 10 and I'm so ready for summer 2016 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DTC_95]

+Oisín McMahon I did it by month and chronically order by release

[@xxWillxx92]

Solid list 👍

[@castlerock1627]

Thanks for the list. Will save it so I can watch the movies at home that I didn't have the chance to catch in theaters.

[@ethangilbert4896]

I would have rated AOU would be like #7. Mission impossible #3. Ant man #2. Fury Road #2

[@ethangilbert4896]

+Cyber Gilbert actually I mean antman #1

[@rudyk5657]

Excellent job Screen Junkies! This is my favorite segment by far - even more than the Honest Trailers & Movie Fights. It's quick, it's informative, & it's entertaining. Keep up the awesome work.

[@gabrielrathbone5632]

I liked Jurassic world Does nobody else?!

[@bendavis3859]

yeah I did, especially if you look at it after Jurassic Park 2, and 3

[@NiraSader]

+gabriel rathbone I like all movies from the jp/jw franchise and jurassic world is one of my favorite movies :)

[@afrocut]

You're not alone! Thought it was a hell of a lot of fun.

[@Bunnychan69]

+gabriel rathbone i liked it but it didnt feel great enough to be number 1 in box office

[@lwanco1018]

+gabriel rathbone I did

[@milesedwards3287]

I love Erin. Absolutely love her.

[@vjollila96]

My favorite movies of 2015 1. Mad max 2. Mission impossible 3. Antman 4. Kingsmen 5. Avengers 2 6. Jurassic world

[@MrGeneralRainbow]

nice list!

[@carterwright617]

thats a pretty damn near perfect list

[@locoboy5034]

+vjollila96 kingsmen came out 2014....

[@vjollila96]

well i saw it 2015

[@galenmarek7107]

+LoCo BoY503 Wasn't that just the premiere and the wide release was 2015?

[@tommycarr8111]

Star Wars will be highest grossing film of the year, unless SPECTRE does incredibly well. But would Star Wars count, considering it will still be in cinemas in 2016?

[@dragonrings14]

+Tommy Carr It is based when the movie officially gets released. That's why American Sniper is a 2014 film but made all its money in January 2015.

[@28joshg]

+Tommy Carr Hal asked "What's going to end the year, top of the box office?" That means which movie will make the most by Dec.31. There is no way Star Wars can top Jurassic World in only 12 days, it's not physically possible.

[@dragonrings14]

28joshg No that isn't how box office records work. If the movie gets released this year it's part of this year's box office no matter how much it makes in 2016. Examples would be Avatar (highest grossing 2009) making most its money in 2010 or American Sniper (highest grossing 2014) making most its money this year.

[@28joshg]

Makes sense. I know that's how box office records work, but in this case I'm just answering the question literally based on how it was phrased in the video.

[@TheBenkoKid]

+28joshg you have to understand it in context bro. These guys are movie critics and understand records for December movies always count the money from early 2016.

[@jamgrieve]

So, basically, 2015 sucks so far and will only get better in the last 4 months.

[@_Rhatsody]

Straight outta is the beat movie to come out this year

[@jceybti9326]

what about Kingsmen ?

[@martinpedal2422]

+Zefurry ehmmm starwars ? ehm

[@_Rhatsody]

Martin Pedál reread my comment. Besides i dont have much hope for that franchise. Ppl will see it of course but will it be good?

[@martinpedal2422]

it will be dont be pessimistic , It will not be 100% cgi i think it will save the franchise ,

[@getintofilm]

We think Everest, The Martian, Crimson Peak, Spectre, The Good Dinosaur will all be big by the end of this year. Oh, and two little franchise returns... (The Hunger Games and Star Wars.)

[@isirlaughsalot2675]

Seriously, whoever greenlighted Fant4stic and Terminator: Genishit deserves to be fired right now.

[@aerodactile007]

im in love with erin robinson 😍😍😍

+Alex Mujica I just threw up a little...

[@lucasbowen5892]

I'm probably gonna see the new Star Wars coming out in December more then once, I'm sure many other people can relate to this.

[@KnightRaymund]

I liked Terminator.

[@Gamer-jk2ce]

😑 u wot!? mediocre

[@jcoptimus]

+KnightRaymund I enjoyed all the 1984 stuff. Once they jumped to 2017, it kinda lost me.

[@KnightRaymund]

it wasn't fantastic or anything, but I didn't expect it to be. And the plot made no sense, as per usual when you involve time travel. But it was entertaining. Better than 3. Haven't seen 4 but heard terrible things. I haven't seen 1 or 2 in forever but just given the tone differences and age I'd probably prefer it to 1 but I can't know for sure. Fun, entertaining, and mindless.

[@Stonegoal]

+KnightRaymund I was confused with the story for a moment but then me and my sister talked about it and figured out the first terminator that attacked Sarah Connor when she was young is the same one that attacks Kyle like 10 years later. It should have shown that Sarah has been on the run for 10 years from the same T1000 and now she is ready to fight. The audience was left with 1-3 lines of history and a clip of Sarah getting picked up off the dock by Arnold.

[@lwanco1018]

+KnightRaymund so did I.

[@keithoneil9894]

Biggest money maker of the year: Jurassic World Biggest money maker of the fall: Spectre

Yeah, I went to see it and it was my biggest mistake of the year. Decent crowd, maybe a couple laughs, and several actual, audible groans. That was not a fun time.

[@Sigrid_Von_Sincluster]

they are the only reason i subed too

[@Rawk4Life]

+Andrew Walker (awalk) I haven't seen "Vacation," but I figured it'd be trash since Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo only make cameos in the movie.

[@somethingciremovies1651]

OMFG THE EPIC VOICE GUY IN THE AD BEFORE THE VIDEO THIS IS AMAZING.

[@Fungorrr]

Was Spy really that poorly received?? I'm usually pretty lukewarm towards Melissa McCarthy but I thought Spy was fantastic on all notes. Really funny in unexpected ways, smart, good action. Few action comedies have it all.

[@top10sntributes20]

+Fungorrr Spy did do pretty well money wise, making around three times its budget and it got 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it very well received critically.

[@electricadventures]

Great episodes, lots of surprises in both successes and fails in this years lineup. Thanks for putting together enjoyable ongoing commentary.

[@360Nomad]

[@caranovak2283]

Mockingjay Part 2 is likely to break the box office. They promote it massively and this series gets more fans every time a movie comes out so I have high hopes for it.

[@bananajoe3053]

The hateful eight probably won't be the #1 of the box office but most likely will get oscars

[@777boman]

+Banana Joe It should be #1 though.

[@Sharpe1502]

I think it will get "Best Original Screenplay", considering that most of the Oscar movies this year are based on books. I don't see this movie beating a survival story, a biopic, and the story of a transgendered man who underwent the first sex change operation. The academy is notorious for not having much of a sense of humor.

[@MikeP828]

Also Straight Outta Compton was the biggest surprise of the summer. I knew I would like it because I'm an NWA fan but I had no idea how cinematically great it would be, not to mention 100% relevant.

[@benabramowitz18]

FIRST! And now that I'm here, what should we talk about? Inside Out managing to out-gross Minions? Mad Max thankfully not bombing? Universal's record-breaking year at the box office, including their duopoly with Disney? Pixels bombing and possibly ending Adam Sandler's career on the big screen?

[@Legion.6397]

Inside out made LESS then Minions? What has this world come to...

[@TheButterShowThatsMe]

+Benjamin Abramowitz Older people dislike Minions where a Pixar film are for everyone. Easy

[@ThomoLFC95]

+Jon Snew but inside out didn't out gross minions, minions made over a billion worldwide, Inside out only made 700 million

[@TheButterShowThatsMe]

Lets be honest... Straight Outta Compton wasnt on your list because you guys didnt think an all black cast, BIOPIC would do well following 12 years and Selma which were Biopics too. Suck it !

[@lawofgravity1979]

Sad to say but all those factors probably came into play. But to be fair those things would hold back most movies. I think very few people expected it to be the monster it turned out to be. Despite all the omissions and changes from real life it was still a great movie.

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Usually non-action non-comedy films just do not do that much in summer. If it had come out in fall and this was fall prediction it would have been in the lists since these kind of films do more in fall and that is why they are usually released in fall.

[@Nastybeanlady]

Ive been waiting so long for this

[@alexpskywalker]

[@CinemaKnight]

I think what was surprising this summer was that so many movies either got passed over, ended up being better than we thought they would be or the opposite. I remember thinking that Mad Max: Fury Road looked really cool, but then I didn't always see a lot of marketing for it, which I think also attributed to a lot of the movies this summer was that there wasn't a lot of marketing done for some of them, which was then a toss-up because it either ended up being a miss like you'd expect it to be or it was a surprising hit that stole the show from another movie you might have thought was the going to be the big movie.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was such a great quality film !!!

[@devilmikey00]

I think everyone didn't realize that Jurassic world was pulling in everyone. It was for the big summer blockbuster crowd and it was for the nostalgic adults who grew up with it and could pull there kids to the movie as well. It was also able to pull in the older crowd who were adults who brought their kids to the original back in the day. It just appealed to pretty much everyone. Also Dinosaurs unlike zombies and super heroes etc. haven't been beaten into the ground. It may have been a reboot but the subject matter was kind of refreshing in today's movie context. Not to mention you had arguably one of the biggest current male movie stars leading the charge coming off a MASSIVE hit with GotG. It was the perfect storm that no one saw coming but everyone should have seen coming in retrospect.

Very surprised that Dan didn't think there were more than a couple "quality" films this summer. This year was the first time in the last decade where I was consistently surprised and entertained. Jurassic World, Mad Max, Ant-Man, Rogue Nation, Vacation and ESPECIALLY San Andreas were all excellent. What was also nice was that the crap films were much easier to weed out - it was clear from the outset that Terminator, Fantastic 4, and Pixels were gonna be awful.

[@rosiediamond9142]

Ricki and the Flash was really only fun because I saw it with my best friend and the theater was practically empty so we got to make some hilarious commentary on it during the film. We were laughing the whole time. Also Sebastian Stan

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Amy has great taste, Million ways to Die in the West, have you ever seen such incredible burning chemistry between two main characters? I haven't! Also Mad Max is incredible and its nice to see you guys agreed!

[@ElmoRautio]

Tomorrowland was the best movie I saw in the whole summer after Mad Max: Fury Road. I honestly don't understand people disliking it so much. It's clever, original, classic, modern, funny... Honestly, everything you can ask from family sci-fi film.

Hey Screen Junkies, I'm a newbie to your channel but I'm a huge fan. Anyways, I believe that Star Wars will be the biggest hit of 2015. Star Wars is loved by an enormous amount of people and has a worldwide fandom that will go bonkers and run down the ticket masters trying to see the movie. Honestly, I'm not even a Star Wars fan but I will still give credit where it's due.

Terminator Genesis was a really fun movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't take the movie seriously and loved the comedy aspect of it. The action was fun and all the actors played their part really well.

The biggest movie of the year I think will either be Star Wars or Jurassic World, and the surprise in the fall will either be Black Mass or Legend! I want a Screen Junkies T-shirt SO badly!

I think it's moronic to say "Superhero movie fatigue" when out of almost 700 movies produced by Hollywood annually only 6-7 of them have been superhero themed. Movies get more expensive every year and many people don't have the cash to go 4-5 times in the summer. With that being said, if you like superheros you go see them, if not you don't. I collected comics from 1972 thru 1997, I didn't stop from "fatigue" I stopped because of the 2-3 dollar cover prices! The superhero movies will continue to be cash cows, I just wish that they would stay truer to the source material and have tighter editing for the plot holes. But I will continue to support both Marvel and DC, I can't wait for 2016! P.S. Those that did not see the Avengers: AoU will purchase on demand and Blu-ray, they will get theirs!

Although, you're right on about making better use of the source material. The comics usually feature better characterization, etc, there are so many great things in the comics I feel they didn't make full use of... :( Because of this, most of the films are okay, but could be so much *better* and... that’s only going to cut it for so long.

Terminator: Genishit as good as Jurassic World? I want whatever drugs she's on.

Amy sounds like Michelle from American Pie. She speaks in 3 word sentences and has a constant ⬇⬆⬆ inflection to her voice.

Erin Robinson is the greatest movie reviewer

[@marshallmoseley]

Mocking jay part 1 will definitely surprise people everywhere

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

Seeing Erin from ClevverMovies on this channel never ceases to make me fangirl. It's like crossover slash fiction but for KZbin.

[@rociobarrientosrosas8585]

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE DOOO TRAILER INSURGENT !! PLEASE I NEED TO SEE YOUR SARCASM!!

[@Malthus]

Straight Outta Compton was the good surprise of my summer. Not a blockbuster, but imho the best movie on that list.

[@P07H34D]

Fell asleep watching Fan4stic, woke up to see the Hulk throwing a tank. Woke back up after falling asleep again only to see Doom making peoples heads explode while somehow not being able to do the exact same thing against Sue or Richard or Johnny.. Then I see Doom using the force to construct massive monoliths 1000x the size of the Thing, from the ground up. Yet somehow can't move a 500lb boulder named Thing?

[@KSCxNATION]

Star Wars, Mockingjay Part 2, The Martian, and Spectre will all preform well.

[@mrsmarsbar37]

Star Wars will definitely win for highest grossing film this year. The series is timeless, everyone one will want to see it and probably multiple times

[@eukiekoala9021]

I had such high hopes for Tomorrowland... I haven't been that disappointed in a movie in a long time :(

[@ellys106]

Jurassic World...coming a year after Guardians with Chris Pratt being pure awesomeness....AND kids loved the dinosaurs from the very first previews. It was a guaranteed winnner....but I was blown away at how big a winner it was.

[@shatow66]

pause at :20 and look at the shelf where they have all the movies and they have two copies of spiderman (early 2000 version)
