I am really rooting for Jungle Cruise being big, I know the last thing Disney needs is another powerful franchise but hopefully it causes them to take more risks.
Agreed on both but Shrek 5 is underestimated
Never doubt nostalgia and Universal’s marketing (the fact that they were able to get Dragon 3 almost to a $60M OW speaks volumes). Enough 90s/00s kids love the first two and would be willing to ignore the awful 3rd and the underrated 4th, if the 5th delivers. Also Shrek was originally supposed to be live action/CGI and if it really didn’t work then, it wouldn’t work now. Shrek like (to name a few getting remakes) Aladdin and Lion King should stay in their original forms because live action can’t capture the same energy to the same effect. Sure dozens will go for nostalgia and enjoy it but it won’t be able to fully recapture the magic of the original.
I think Shrek 5 is practically a lock. A Pokémon Red/Blue adaptation has a chance but it may be too repetitive for the GA and would have to be split into parts. Harry Potter 9 can also do it and something from DC, eventually.
I’m still positive at best Argonaut is doing $300M DOM but the other news saddens me.
Of course, I would need to make a major schedule change. One that would fuck over a lot of people. Not cause Of Tintin but I’m more worried about Mario.
Endgame is probably my favorite film of the year, take into count that I have only seen 15-20 films this year so far but I loved it. Had a problem with but it’s definitely one of the best CBMs, one of the best recent blockbusters and it’s hard to choose between this and Black Panther. I hate sounded like I’m hyping this up but it’s true.

Yara Shahidi (blackish, Two Lonely Bounty Hunters), Finn Wolfhard (IT, Stranger Things) and Thomasin McKenzie (The Epsilon Syndicate: Union Of Theives) to lead in Alex Hirsch’s tentpole for Endless Entertainment being described as “Men In Black meets Ghostbusters meets The Breakfast Club” in Y6.
IW was also marketed as a finale film. This is the film ever that will not only Gross $300M OW but the first to gross $350M OW. And judging by what we are getting from CJ so far, the Saturday is looking at $110M-$120M and it’s not showing the same drops as HP8 did on OW.
