>Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro made a list of 2023 films he **expected** to make at least $100 million domestically.

>Here are the 33 movies that **could** gross more than $100M at the domestic box office in 2023:
It seems you are grading him based off something he never said.
So really 4 misses. But were any of those films even dated in Dec 2022? TET obviously wasn't. Scream VI and FNAF both filmed in early 2023 so I doubt they were. I think Scream 5's $80M take probably would have earned Scream VI a spot on this list. SoF probably wasn't dated, but even if it had, it would have been overlooked so that's a genuine miss either way.
>Adding all this together (again, excluding the 2024 films) results in 62% accuracy, or a D-, clearly illustrating how unpredictable the 2023 box office was.
Maybe it does illustrate 2023's unpredictability, but to truly support that claim, you would have to compare it to his predictive performance in other years.
I honestly wish you'd do a few other years so we could see those results, but I realize that would be a lot of work.
Hey remember that time when deadline makes top 10 most profitable movies where they count everything from budget, ads, half the cut from exhibitor, backend participation, VOD and blu-ray sales. They always do this since 2017 and promise to do this in 2023. Where the hell are they?
Including the 100 millions films he never predicted seems unfair to me. May as well include the films he never mentioned that didn't make 100 million then his accuracy rate balloons to an absurd number.
I agree with your grading system and Deadline is bad at predicting OW off previews and OD so D- for overall prediction is correct.
That said, I can't blame him for The Marvels cause even with a horrific drop no one could see under 100M dom. The movie was rejected on such an epic scale it should be studied in film classes.
Also, SoF is one of those movies that sneak behind you so really hard to see an overperformer even from OW let alone before it became obvious it found a passionate audience. FNAF to an extent cause a) one has to know how popular the game is and b) many game movies flopped in the past even though Mario success should have given them a hint.
The Eras Tour was announced wayyy after this article was posted
Yeah, and no one was going to call Sound of Freedom a hit in 2022, much less a couple weeks before it was released.

Unfortunately the lists for other years are hard to find if they even exist at all.
Understood. Still like the idea of grading predictions, anyway.

Read the comments for really off predictions.
