    3. Spider-Man: Homecoming - $330M

    4: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - $310M

    5. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - ~$300M

    6: Justice League: Part 1 - ~$300M

    (This assuming Deadpool 2 is 2018)

     

    These numbers are all too high (except Star Wars, which could double the take of the second place movie) but yes, LEGO Batman will outstrip the other superhero movies in 2017 (if it's as acclaimed as The LEGO Movie was). Thor could move up higher if it's got more than Thor and Loki in it.

  2. Can someone explain to me what the relationship is between the Resistance, the Republic, and the First Order? From what I understand, the First Order is the remnants of the Empire and the Resistance is the new Rebel Alliance. How does the Republic play into this (or did, considering they got obliterated)? The First Order destroyed the Republic with the Starkiller Base because they were supporting the rebels, but they supposedly had a substantial fleet of their own.

     

    Was the Resistance a third faction or more like a terrorist group in the eyes of the First Order?

  3. I'm not sure if I completely understand the calls for a big Pokémon movie. There are almost 20 feature length Pokémon movies out and the series is still going strong. Nintendo and Game Freak won't even make a full console version of Pokémon, so I don't see a live action film ever happening. It wouldn't translate to live action as well as Transformers did either because the art style is too unique. Wouldn't look right.

     

    That said, there is a live action Legend of Zelda show in the works, so I guess anything is possible. 

     

    All that said, I'd definitely see a live action Pokémon movie day one. Still think most of the "realistic Pokémon" drawings are ugly though.

  5. This will have a major drop, at least domestically. Overseas could be around the same due to expanding markets. The first film owes its box office success to Avatar. When I went to see it most of the folks waiting in line were more excited about seeing a 3D film again than they were the movie itself.

     

    Without that push this will probably end up around Oz.
