Well who said I was looking at those two movies?

American Sniper was rated R with a relatively moderate budget of $58.8million and grossed $350m in the US and $197m foreign = $547m worldwide.

Two of The Hangover franchisees made over $250milliom domestically on budgets of under $80m and both rated R. 

All on WB.  So maybe Cooper could continue to be the king of R rated movies on WB!

The Hangover and A Star Is Born couldn't be any more different. The Hangover is made for the money, it's a commercial blockbuster. A Star Is Born is more along the lines of movies like Silver Linings Playbook and Joy, they are tailored for the awards and they're not based on a strong franchise like superhero or science-fiction movies are.

American Sniper is really an exception, I'm not saying it can't be replicated, but you need some luck and really good advertising and audience reception.

Predictions don't mean ****. Remember TIHTY? Yeah...

You do understand why they are called predictions right? They are meant to predict, not confirm.

My prediction is that it could gross 120 - 150 M worldwide. I am very happy if it can gross more than its break even point.
