Deadline had analyst Doug Creutz talk about this summer and next summer, but here are the highlights:
-Rumors are that around 26 movies will get 2,500+ theaters for their OWs next year, below 2016, but above the historical average
-A lot of money losers will be on the schedule, since the number of action and animation films is at 17, much higher than the guideline rule of 9 action and animation movies being successful
-Disney's at medium risk, with GOTG 2 being big, but Cars 3 and Pirates 5 potentially decreasing from their predecessors
-Fox is at medium-high risk, as Captain Underpants will face big competition with Cars and Despicable Me, and Kingsman will face a ton of competition that could limit its potential
-Paramount's at low-medium risk, because WWZ2 and Transformers 5 are expected to do "reasonably well", but Baywatch could overperform due to it being a comedy alternative.
-Warner Bros. is at medium risk, as it has Wonder Woman, Dunkirk, Annabelle 2, and The House, but none of these are guaranteed to be in the summer's top 12, though Wonder Woman could break out.
-Nothing was said for Universal or Sony for some reason.
