Which will gross more, Doctor Strange 2 or The Batman. I have DS2 winning by a hair due to its MCU/multiverse connection.

$40M-$45M OW
I also think Bond will be the next $200M grosser.

I think I have Toy Story 3 higher. Probably top 7 and one of the top 2 Pixar masterpieces of all time.

28th – Grave of the Fireflies
484 points – 16 votes ( 1 First, 3 Top 5 , 3 top 10 )
2013 – Not in top 25
2014 – 61st
2016 –32nd
2018 – 17th
My personal ranking – First – I make no bones about considering this to be the best animated film of all time. Fully understand why it is not for all.
Another Ghibli film based on existing literature and what a film it is. One of the hardest films a person will ever watch, Fireflies is a real gut punch of a film and one that will stick with most people that watch it. To be honest, people not liking it makes sense to me, people thinking it is great makes sense to me, I do find it harder to understand placing it like 70th. Just seems a film that you wouldn’t place in the ‘yeah, pretty good’ bracket.
As far as its list history is concerned, this is a slight drop from the high point of 2018. It is still a good improvement on its first bow of 61st and suggests that it can be here to stay as a film ready to challenge for top 20 each time around.
Never heard of this movie. Something to add to my watchlist. Great contest/thread @chasmmi

Can't speak for 50 years from now but in the near term, Disney will do just fine. They are the best positioned among all the studios to weather the remaining vestiges of this pandemic and the shift to streaming for feature films. Their IP is gold and the spinoffs of spinoffs are minting more money for them (What If, Book of Boba, etc.).

I love that woman.
I love her too. She's steadfast on keeping Bond to its traditional roots.

I need this film in my eyeballs, like yesterday. On the big screen!

LOL...when I saw the thread title "Paw Patrol: Not Cancelled" I thought somehow the movie got tangled with the woke police. I feel like the movie is 5 years past the Franchise's apex years though.

Early reviews trend positive. Let's see what happens when the floodgates open in a few days.
I'm optimistic...my expectations are lower for post Endgame films but I want them all to do well.

Suicide Squad should have done as good or better than Black Widow. Alas, delta variant and HBO Max simultaneous release.

The second episode was far superior to the first. I was not interested at all in the first episode's premise but the follow up episode? Yea, I can definitely get behind Thanos as just one of the guys. It was awesome!

I loved SS. Much better than the original (which I liked). Up there with the Snyder Cut version of JL as the best DCEU film. I wouldn't mind a sequel but one directed by James Gunn. Enjoyed the Taika cameo. Pleasant surprise.8.5/10
Things I liked:
Comedy - dialogue, creature design, deaths
Unashamed introduction to truly ridiculous 'heroes' (Weasel, Shark, etc)
Special FX were top notch
Action played faithfully grounded to real word physics and natural laws
Action scenes
Idris Elba
Characters were fleshed out enough to care
Cons
Wish we got more Polka Dot man 😄 -
This was such a high quality DCEU movie, one that would have made north of $300m pre-pandemic. A shame that it won’t see anywhere near those numbers.

I hope Tom Bombadil is in the series!

101st – Watership Down
164 points – 8 votes ( 2 top 10 )
2013 – Not in Top 25
2014 – Not in top 100
2016 –119th
2018 – 94nd
My personal ranking – Not in top 100 – Just a little too much rabbit on rabbit violence for me.
And now for something completely violent. Watership Down is the final film to miss the top 100 – a slight slip from 2018, and the penultimate film to do so with 8 votes.
This film is famous for its gore and the whole ‘hey let’s mentally scar the children’ that the 80s would then take up as their mantle for animated films and fucking run with.
This also marks a burst of 5 films where I have actually seen all of them, and that is exciting for me at least.
I watched this when I was a kid. The violence shocked me.

It was better then I thought. On par with ‘Devil’ and ‘Mr Glass’ in terms of quality. Mid-tier M. Night film.

Agreed. Looking forward to this because of Chalamet, Brolin, Zimmer and Denis Villeneuve

I'm sorry I meant to post my list, but I was on vacation and just didn't have time to finish my list.
The call for lists has been around since early May. 😂

I loved it! Great cinematography, action, pacing and comedy. David Harbour and Florence Pugh stole the show!

What studio will win 2021 and take the post pandemic box-office crown?
Speculate!

Maybe. Highly doubt Avatar would be the one to move.
