the homie F. Gary Gray probably got the best chance to dethrone in the near future.

He got Gerard Butler and Vin Diesel rumored to be in his upcoming movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0968747/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_1

Might have already took the crown if that Brazilian Job movie ever got production rolling.

ride along 2(tim story) might be a real threat, that's 2016 though

I saw that, but there's no release date yet...

Also a drama of that nature isn't likely to do huge numbers. Who knows, might be a surprise hit.

It probably won't be that movie but I think Fuqua has a chance to do it in the near future. Just saw the Equalizer and while I didn't think it was great, it was definitely an audience-pleasing movie. Fuqua knows how to make films that connect with a wide-demographic
