Quoted from ChuckRock:I have played princess bride a few times. I don't like how empty the bottom 2/3rds of the play field are. It's just like trying to make 6 far shots lined up at the top of the pin. Reminded me of a Venom pro in that regard.
Portal has an extra module with ramps and other shots in the lower 2/3.
Quoted from solarvalue:Portal has an extra module with ramps and other shots in the lower 2/3.
All we know for sure is it's a theme everyone has heard of and has some relationship with everyone.
I'm personally leaning towards aliens or death and taxes.

Quoted from LTG:I'm thinking ancient history. Alexander The Great, or Caesar.
LTG : )
Ooooh! Now those could be fun.
I never played a game before Dune where I walked away and then came back immediately saying, just one more. I get it now. It's a phenomenon.
Quoted from RA77:All I know is that I'm gearing up to sell a Stern or 2 to make funds for the next BOF

Quoted from Oneangrymo:I had a dream last night of a SpongeBob pinball machine
and just last week I had a dream that I got into a minor fight with Kandea, over what I dont remember.
Probably his peacock hair style. He's 50 trying to be 25.
Quoted from KING-HENRY:Probably his peacock hair style. He's 50 trying to be 25.
He definitely has hus own style.
I have pajamas t shirts and jeans.
Quoted from Stimulus199:Multimorphic just posted this - seems pretty likely that it's going to be a Dungeon Crawler Carl reveal
Yea, I was hoping for it to be BoF, but MM will do DCC proud, I am sure.
I’m still pulling for the first four Rocky movies from BoF. It would hit what they said about themes from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Dream theme for me for sure. 
Quoted from badfish981:RIP to DCC from P3
Really was looking forward to that theme if it was from BOF
Im crushed. To be honest
Their first 3 are kinda ball busters, hoping for something between Wick and Foo, closer to Foo actually.

A dialed in Labyrinth with precision flippers becomes a relatively easy shooter…far from a ball buster for sure. Winchester and Dune are both pretty darn challenging.

Batman fits 70, 80, 90s too! Can dream, Dark knight trilogy would be great although 2000s plus years.

Clash of the Titans perhaps! Original.
Quoted from AM1982:What did Barrels say about the next theme? Its from the 70s to 90s? I must have missed that.
All they said was it was a theme everyone would be familiar with.
Quoted from crujones4life:All they said was it was a theme everyone would be familiar with.
That could be anything. I'd love a Tim Burton Batman or Dark Knight theme though. I still want a Ghostbusters or Simpsons game but not holding my breath here.

Except for something like DCC which people thought was happening at BOF.

Hogans Heroes IP acquired in 3,2,1...
First a Lego set was released for Stranger Things, the then game was announced. Pokemon got its first Lego set and then the game was announced. Now SpongeBob just got its first official Lego set. This seems to be a trend.

What? I bought my son SpongeBob Legos years ago.
Quoted from bane:Not sure if you guys are joking? Rock of Ages by Def Leppard?
The meme is actually pretty great.
I in fact was joking. I mentioned Weird Al, can't possibly be serious.
Lego Batman with 600 snarky lines from Will Arnett. That would be a sweet tandem with Evil Dead & Bruce Campbell.
Quoted from AM1982:By expo which isn't until October. We're going to have months of speculation until then....
Game title speculation started well before Dune. You are just late to the party.
Quoted from crujones4life:All they said was it was a theme everyone would be familiar with.
I really hope it's not GI JOE. Danny McBride has that GI Joe movie in development, so...
Quoted from Starfighter:Hogans Heroes IP acquired in 3,2,1...
Hogans Heroes could be amazing as a pin. So many modes/plots/gags.
Quoted from LTG:MASH, Cheers.
LTG : )
With frantic surgery wizard mode with countdown heart beating noise ...patient dies in 10, 9, 8, 7.... beep...flat line ....
Quoted from BillDog:Lego Batman with 600 snarky lines from Will Arnett. That would be a sweet tandem with Evil Dead & Bruce Campbell.
Lego doesn’t want a pinball. Dead end.
Quoted from raindog151:please please please gi joe, i will buy unseen.
4th quarter 2027….
Quoted from ChuckRock:SpongeBob, MOTU and GI Joe I feel more sure that they have the rights for.
I would consider each of these something most people (especially pinball demographics) are familiar with.
None of those are next.
