10. Name a feature film that has been released this decade which stars one of Brie Larson, Miles Teller or Shailene Woodley.

http://i64.tinypic.com/30bh2bm.jpg


Brie Larson, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley are 3 of my favourite actors and actresses around at the moment and the inspiration for this question is the incredible movie ‘The Spectacular Now’ which stars all three of them! That is the highest scoring answer here along with Brie’s Oscar winning turn in Room and remake Footloose. Many pointless answers here as this is one of two questions with a load of possible options! From comedy 21 Jump Street to a drama with an incredible Nicole Kidman performance (Rabbit Hole) to YA Insurgent starring both Miles & Shailene to the beautiful The Fault In Our Stars and also hilarious comedy Trainwreck and finally premiering on Sky Movies soon Two Night Stand are my highlgihts from the answers answered :heart:

Because she wasn't one of the main cast, though I am tempted to give you 8.5 points instead of the full 17 deduction if anyone else agrees?

11. Name a sequel that has been released and received a wide release in 2016 so far.

http://i67.tinypic.com/21ki5pl.jpg


We all know how Hollywood adores sequels so quite a few sequels have been released in 2016. Batman and Cloverfield and Alvin were all avoided! Pointless answers for Crapallegiant, CrapWinter’sWar, Civil War, Christian movie God’s Not Dead 2 and animated Kung Fu Panda 3. More crap sequels as London Has Fallen and Zoolander 2 pick up a point each along with My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2! Which somehow means the top answer is Ride Along 2 with 3 points, I went for it as I completely forgot it existed until I wrote this question! Another wrong answer as Bad Neighbours 2 hurts Richie again as it hasn’t been released yet!

POINTLESS: 0: Allegiant- Jimmy Jam
0: Captain America: Civil War- Lotti
0: God’s Not Dead 2- Garyy
0: Kung Fu Panda 3- Chez Wombat
0: The Huntsman’s Winter’s War- Mack

1: London Has Fallen- Mdh, Regina
1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- HarryEzra, Jack
1: Zoolander 2- Fgiboy2511, Jahq
3: Ride Along 2- Jonjo, Josh, SamJudd, Ultraviolence1989

17: Michael- The Jungle Book
17: Richie- Bad Neighbours 2


Alternative Answers: - 10 Cloverfield Lane
- Alvin And The Chipmunks 4
- Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice
- The Monkey King 2
I was hesitating with '10 Cloverfield Lane', but I really wasn't sure if you'd count it (in a similar way to how 'Iron Man' isn't a sequel to 'Captain America' etc.. same universe, but not a direct sequel) so didn't risk it! :lol:

12. Name a movie sequel which grossed over 50% less than the previous movie in the franchise at the box office worldwide.

http://i64.tinypic.com/2yuf3o0.jpg


Easily the toughest question, this was basically get a pointless or be wrong! So let’s look at some of the pointless answers first. Basic Instinct 2 and Blair Witch 2 both plummeted critically and at the box office, Home Alone 3 also struggled while Hot Tub Time Machine 2 was a clear example of a sequel nobody wanted. People were tired of the Police Academy franchise by Police Academy 7 and Scary Movie V long arrival after IV saw a big fall. And that thing also gets mentioned. Grease 2 with Michelle Pfiefer and Speed 2 were the only two to score a point, Grease 2 completely fell flat on its face from Grease’s gross while Speed 2 earned just over 50% less than Speed at the box office.
Now onto the 5 wrong answers, let’s start from furthest to closest! Michael mentions Legally Blonde which: A- wasn’t a sequel and B- the 2nd one only fell 17M worldwide from the first one! Batman Vs Superman is at 865M compared to either of The Dark Knight Rises 1.1B or Man Of Steel’s 800M or something total’s so is nowhere near 50% less! Mission Impossible 3 earned less than the 2nd one but not 50% less, MI2 earned something between 500M-600M and MI3 earned between 300-400M (I looked it up but don’t remember the numbers!). Scream 4 grossed 97M worldwide, which while a big drop from Scream 3, was not 50% as that grossed 161M worldwide. And finally Jack is really unlucky with Allegiant which has grossed literally just over 50% of Insurgent’s gross, 152M to 297M (I took the figures from when you sent the answer, Allegiant is just shy of 160M now!)

POINTLESS: 0: Basic Instinct 2- Mack
0: Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2- Chez Wombat
0: Caddyshack 2- Richie
0: Home Alone 3- Fgiboy2511
0: Hot Tub Time Machine 2- Jahq
0: Police Academy 7- SamJudd
0: Scary Movie 5- Ultraviolence1989
0: The Human Centipede 3- Jimmy Jam

1: Grease 2- Josh, Mdh
1: Speed 2- Garyy, Lotti

17: Allegiant- Jack
17: Batman Vs Superman- Regina
17: Legally Blonde- Michael
17: Mission Impossible 3- HarryEzra
17: Scream 4- Jonjo


Alternative Answers: - Who Knows
Oh FFS! There goes that chance of winning. Bottom half for me! (I also think I was looking at something completely different for it's gross as I don't remember seeing $97m :lol:)
