Predicting The 10 Highest Box Office Of 2015's Remaining Movies

10. Pixels - $325m

Despite the quality of his recent output ranging from the painfully mediocre to the outright terrible, Adam Sandler remains a box office draw, with one of the most consistent track records of commercial success in the entire industry. For the first time ever, cinema's biggest man-child takes the lead role in an effects-heavy blockbuster, one that could turn out to be the biggest hit of his entire career.

Since 1998, Sandler has had no less than fourteen of his movies earn over $100m at the box office, so it seems a relatively safe bet that Pixels will also reach that milestone. The movie's high-concept pitch should also broaden the appeal with international audiences, thanks to a simple hook and a marketing campaign that has attempted to paint the project as Ghostbusters for the video game generation.

With a safe pair of hands behind the camera in Chris Columbus, Sandler's proven drawing power at the domestic box office, a solid supporting cast and an interesting premise, Pixels look all set to easily eclipse Grown Ups 2's $247m to become the actor's highest-grossing live action vehicle to date.
