"I don't know if the kids are into Paw Patrol and I don't want to know." GOAT comment.

those Screen Junkies summer box office predictions are part of the reason why I love tracking box office so much. Feels weird to say but I'm nostalgic for the 2015 prediction video. First one I saw and over the years I really enjoyed watching those

Seeing Demon Slayer as a box office success is just warming my soul; and I'm so excited to see what Dan thinks of Demon slayer (show and movie)

I never knew how much I missed having a summer movie preview.

A few years ago my geography professor talked about twister and how that movie exploded the popularity of storm chasing. Incredible what movies can do!

I have high hopes for In The Heights. Really hoping for a breakout hit.

Raya was helped this past weekend thanks to Disney finally striking deals with Cinemark and Regal, which added over 500 theaters to Raya's count this past weekend.

Hey Dan! Since Jungle Cruise comes out this summer, you ready for the Rock to screw you over again? 🤣🤣🤣

I’m glad that Summer Movie Season is back!

Always loved the Summer Chart Predictions AND the Post Summer Eval to see how everyone did. I always looked forward to these and I'm glad you're bringing it back.

Without knowing your 10 yet, Dan, here's my predictions: 1. Black Widow 2. F9 3. Hotel Transylvania 4 4. Shang Chi 5. Suicide Squad 6. Paw Patrol 7. Space Jam 2 8. Jungle Cruise 9. Quiet Place 2 10. In the Heights

Top 10 predictions: 1. Black Widow 2. F9 3. The Suicide Squad 4. Shang-Chi 5. A Quiet Place Part II 6. In the Heights 7. Jungle Cruise 8. Free Guy 9. Hotel Transylvania 3 10. Space Jam 2

I wonder if Screen Junkies is going to do theirs, with a guest appearance from Dan, of course! ;)

My most anticipated summer movies 1. The Green Knight (Lowery is one of the most underrated directors) 2. Black Widow 3. Quiet Place pt2 4. Old 5. The Suicide Squad

Yes!!!! This is the yearly video that made me fall in love with you charts & you Dan! Absolutely love it! Next year could you get Grae Drake & Hal Rudnick on for a Screen Junkie's Show reunion?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ufotable continues this trend with making another Demon Slayer movie. The manga had around 100 chapters so I assume there’s likely to be another one given to see how much of a success Mugen Train is.

There was a missed opportunity to not say the Twister video is not coming out on Windsday

1. Shang Chi 2. Black Widow 3. Suicide Squad 4. F9 5. Quiet Place 2 6. Conjuring 3 7. SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY 8. Jungle Cruise 9. Candyman 10. Cruella

My favorite Screen Junkie’s Show episodes were the summer box office predictions. I miss those.

The three movies I'll definitely be seeing in theaters this summer are Black Widow, Shang-Chi, and In the Heights.

Omg you bought the shirt I told you about!!!! 🥰 or at least I tagged you, even if it’s just a possibility that you read my tweet it’s nice to think that you did.

We're finally reopening in the U.K a week today, will be interesting to see if it makes an impact on the box office

Yay I love Dan’s summer movie previews. Here’s my predictions: 1. Black Widow 2. F9 3. Shang-Chi 4. The Suicide Squad 5. In the Heights 6. Space Jam 2 7. A Quiet Place 2 8. Jungle Cruise 9. Hotel Transylvania 4 10. Cruella

Yay, Twister! I lived in the US in 1996 and seeing it on the big screen there was so fun. It's my favourite guilty pleasure movie. I've probably seen it 20+ times; I always leave it on if it comes up randomly on the telly. "Cow! ... Another cow!" "Actually, I think that was the same one." Awesome.

I don't see The Suicide Squad that high unless it is a really good film (although I wonder if it will change to only in theaters). I also think In the Heights will do really well and I am going to try and see that in theaters even though I have HBOMax.

Here’s mine: 1. Black Widow 2. Shang Chi 3. F9 4. Hotel Transylvania 4 (always bet on animated franchises in the summer) 5. The Suicide Squad 6. A Quiet Place II 7. Jungle Cruise 8. Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard 9. Cruella 10. Conjuring 3 With so much uncertainty I’m betting on the closest thing to a guarantee that exists at the box office right now (Marvel). I agree that Free Guy looks interesting but the first Bodyguard movie did well and has gained a following on cable since, so I think that’s the RR movie that wins out this summer. The Rock is usually pretty bankable so unless Jungle Cruise is awful (certainly possible) I think it cracks the top 10

I'm excited for you to jump into anime more with Demon Slayer. I haven't seen it but always wanted to get into anime after watching Full Metal Alchemist. Candy Man at #10? Didn't think it was going to make the list. Free Guy I'm thinking will be higher Shang-Chi, the unexpected success of little-known MCU stuff Black Widow - I almost forgot about this, might just watch at home Busy week! I'm so excited for everything!

Black widow is right around my birthday 🎉 I was looking forward to that and Free guy. I can't wait for these movies.

I hope we can also see some classic movies in theaters to go along with the newer movies this summer. Last summer I saw Ghostbusters, Twister, The Karate kid, and The Neverending Story in theaters and it was so much fun.

1. F9 2. Black Widow 3. The Suicide Squad 4. A Quiet Place II 5. Shang Chi

So excited that you did this. The Slashfilmcast summer movie wager is always a favorite for me and it has been hard not having that for the last two years. This will be satisfy that desire. I am surprised you are including Shang-Chi. I always consider summer season ending on Labor Day so money earned afterwards is not included. Is that your case here? If so, that's a lot of money for the opening weekend.

Hey Dan! I'd like to recommend a few anime series you might try that are of fairly different genres, most of which don't involve battling/hand-to-hand combat: Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) - music, drama/romance, coming of age Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - historical, storytelling Barakamon - comedy, "slice of life" Giant Killing - sports Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket - military, character drama

Three Horror Movies in your top 10 predictions!? That is bold!

Cinemas opening in UK again next week wahoo!! missed out on so many films i will be catching up as safely as i can :P

Personally, I think _The Suicide Squad_ will be lower since it's rated R. The perceived pattern that R rated films make way less does appear to be changing, but I don't think it will be able to compete that well. Secondly, I think Black Widow will be a lower performer since a lot of what hype there may have been has died in the wait through the pandemic; also, it's opening early in the season. I bet that later releases will do better as things continue to open up. For my money, number 1 will be Shang Chi. Then The Suicide Squad and Black Widow will be number 2 and 3, (but I'm not 100% sold on that order for the two). Just my thoughts though. Keep up the great work, Dan!

Raya has been available for free with a Disney Plus subscription for at least a couple of weeks now, or at least here in Mexico.

Speaking of your experience with Demon Slayer, I think I speak for the anime community that follows your channel when I say I really hope yo get back to your "promise" to review all of the Studio Ghibli films. You were on a roll for a minute and if you're looking to get more knowledge/experience in the world of anime, you really couldn't ask for a better education than that.

I think F9 will prob be the highest since its the openly big movie that is only in theaters.

Love the list, been watching you since 2016! As a 90s kid and with all of your video knowledge I am upset that’ Space Jam did not make the list, you will eat your words!

Woah! He's going to review Demon Slayer. Ok... Ok.. IT'S HAPPENING! Can't wait!

My partner and I have been watching Shadow & Bone and we love it

Speaking of movies in which videogame characters become self aware: You might like the Christoper Lambert movie 'Nirvana'. It was an Italian production from 1997 and looks like it could be set in the 'Blade Runner' universe, with ideas from 'The Matrix' sprinkled in. The original version was in Italian, with Christoper Lambert being the only one who's lines were dubbed. There is an English dubbed version, where he dubs himself and is, through that, the only actor to do his own lines. It's an odd but fun one.

Can't wait to see Black Widow. Hope cinemas are open in Ontario by then. :(

I think Space Jam will definitely break the top 10! At least I hope so. The trailer made me hyped to see it.

So excited for summer movies! Can't wait for Black Widow for the simple fact that Marvel has been pushed back their entire catalog for over a year for this movie. That leads me to believe something huge is going to go down in it. I could be wrong, but am hyped either way.

excited for charts!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Interesting summer picks!!!! Hope you do well!

So exciting that this is the busy Dan we would have had last year!

I am here for Dan Murrell anime reviews!!!!

I think "In the Heights" was a smart choice. People look to feel good and go with their families, so I think it'll have "legs" as you'd say. Also, I don't mind if your review isn't first because the quality and thoughtfulness will always be top notch.

Literally typed 'y'all sleeping on In The Heights it's going to be big' in the comments box but then it appeared on your list! Smart move Dan.

"Who's at #1 on Amazon?" "Nobody." (Recycling this joke to save the environment!)

You're missing one thing for Sang Chi: cultural significance in North America. This is the 1st time the AAPI get their own superhero in the lead. People will go see it. IDK if it'll be as big as Black Panther but it will have higher than average pando numbers. 1. Sang Chi 2. Black Widow 3. Suicide Squad

Such an inspiration Dan! Love the videos can’t wait to see all the reviews

Collins and Murrell twister. Can not wait for that.

I'm liking the previous 365 chart

Love y’all ‘s boots on the ground cinephilia

As always great show Dan! I look forward to it every week. I have missed these summer movie top ten prediction videos so I was very happy to see you bring it back. Looking forward to seeing how the summer plays out! Also is that the US vinyl from Waxworks Records? I couldn't help looking at it throughout the video lol.

I'm a bit late to this video but just thought I'd say I was ignorant of a lot of anime and after watching all the ~20 main films I started watching recommended anime shows. Lots were mediocre or had major issues. But I would HIGHLY recommend Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and they're both extremely bingeable. For Dan and anyone else reading, tbh, unless you really hate any gore.

Hey Dan, I'm loving your top 10 summer 2021 predictions, I'm really looking forward to your 'All My Movies,' with Adam Collins, should be a real blast, cool Star Trek, Next Gen Enterprise, Defiant and Voyager T-shirt, where did you get it from?

It will be interesting to see how Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings fares when it comes exclusively to theaters during the 45 day window.

The theater I work for is NOT a Cinemark and a few locations in our company are showing Army of the Dead too. Grand Rapids and Lansing, MI

Cinemark will not be the only major theatre chain playing it. I am a manager at Marcus Theatres/Movie Tavern and we will be playing the film as well.

Gosh, as a Canadian watching this in lockdown it sucks we probably won’t be able to see a lot of these movies in theatres. I would love to see In The Heights in theatre, but that probably isn’t going to happen.

If you want more anime to watch, here's some for a new anime fan. Attack on Titan (the most hyped up anime right now and the final season is coming in the winter and it's also a masterpiece), Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (tied with Attack on Titan for the highest rated anime), Jujutsu Kaisen (The movie is coming early next year and it's probably gonna break records), and Mob Psycho 100 (everything that's amazing about anime). Also if you want to know my favorite, it's One Piece (the highest selling comic series by a single author, highest selling manga of all time, about to beat Batman for the second highest selling comic series of all time, and it's so culturally impactful in Japan that it literally has tons of statues of the series all over Japan).

Personally, I'm planning to see numbers 1-3 and maybe number 7 this summer (assuming they all actually reach cinemas here in the UK) which is probably a good sign for the accuracy of Dan's list

Finally Movie-Theaters open back up over here (Austria, Europe) and I finally can start contributing to the Box Office again :-)

is that a cricket bat signed by Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead behind you? Would love to hear the story of how you got that!

Thanks for doing these, always look forward to seeing them

Great to see you carrying on the tradition... feels normal 🤣

Here's my prediction for just the top 4.... 4. F9 3. Space Jam 2 2. Shang-Chi 1. Black Widow I think most of the big movies this year will be in the last couple months of the year (Venom 2, Dune, Eternals, Ghostbusters Afterlife, Encanto, Spider-Man NWH).

Very excited for Twister ( all my movies )

Dan, you should check out The Mitchells vs The Machines. It's such a fun movie, would love to see your thoughts on it.

If I had to guess on what will be the highest grossing film this summer, probably F9 and Black Widow...

I'm really excited for Black Widow but the major cinema chain in Japan is not showing it…quite frustrating. Other chains haven't revealed if they will or not yet. I found some smaller cinemas doing Cruella so they will probably do Black widow too even though they didn't do Raya.

Shame British cinemas are giving Demon Slayer limited screenings (Like they always do to Anime Movies). The UK is severely going to miss out!

Alan!

My Top 10 Summer Movies for this year. 1. F9 2. Black Widow 3. Cruella 4. Hotel Transylvania 4 5. In the Heights 6. The suicide Squad 7. Candyman 8. Free Guy 9. Peter Rabbit 2 10. Old

Hey Dan, can I suggest that in the streaming charts you put the year movies were first released? There are a lot of similar titles and sometimes it's confusing (especially on Netflix) to figure out what's a new release or what's an old movie that got in recently on the service.

Big hype for summer.

Maybe not to that extreme and I still doubt it is going to be the highest grossing film of the summer but I could see Space Jam being a Transformers like situation where there's a big gap between how bad critic reviews are and how much the general public likes it.

If you are going to give Shadow in the Cloud a watch, can I just suggest going for it without watching the trailer. I really enjoyed it, but I think part of that was just because I saw it through TIFF before it was released or any trailer had been cut and I went into it completely blind and let myself be completely mystified by where the movie went.

Dan, you should watch "Attack on Titan". It's the greatest anime series of all time. I'm not hyperbolising. Literally every episode is a cliffhanger, and it does something so rare, which is that every season is better than the one that came before it.

I cannot suggest highly enough that if you do any other anime series, find some way to watch Monster. It or Cowboy Bebop if you can't find a way to watch Monster. I'm not a massive anime fan (I like a few) but Monster isn't just one of my favorite anime shows, but maybe my single favorite psychological thriller in any medium.

Your 365 chart should have the moment of release (week/month)

Space Jam 2 didn't make your Top 10 Summer 2021 predictions?

Looking forward to the review

Yes, the Marvel movies will be in the top, but I think it is a horror summer. All of us horror fans love communal watching in the theaters and have been dying to get back at it. This summer gives us 4 huge movies we have been waiting for so long (Spiral, Candyman, Conjuring 3 and Quiet Place 2) and I think we will make them very successful.

I’m putting Shang-Chi above Suicide Squad. Could be wrong, guess we’ll see.

M Night always delivers so I'll see with Old

Shit im hyped for Dan’s review of demon slayer.

Dan: I don't know if the kids are still into Paw Patrol. I...I don't want to know. Cracker Factory Executive: Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we could do without.

Looking forward to your Demon Slayer review! There’s a lot of great anime to check out, but I think the most relevant for upcoming anime theatrical releases that could be big in the US would be My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dragon Ball Z/Super. Of those I think MHA would be especially up your alley as a fan of superheroes and the MCU!

Definitely expecting Jungle Cruise, I think people miss seeing The Rock.

Forgot about Hitman’s Wife Bodyguard, The Kings Men, The Forever Purge and Peter Rabbit 2

Didn't The Fifth Element (a French movie) top the box office in 97?

Prediction - no movie will make over $200 million domestically at the summer box office this year

Watch out for the green knight

Tuesday Night Lives. Then we can keep the TNL logo.

Did u watch the anime in dub or sub?

Army of the Dead-- No Cinemark in my area ☹️
