Some said virtual 3D or glassless 3D
November is pretty good. Could see Thor3 legs with a $145M OW. The only thing it has to worry about is Bond and Frozen 2.
Yeah. Surprised it wasn’t the first major six studios to be bought.
They could’ve prevented DWA though by renewing the 2012 deal but they got cocky with Rango.
Disney, Lionsgate, WB (despite a shitty fall outside of IT) and Sony had great years this year. Universal and Fox were okay, meanwhile Paramount did awful.
Grinch and Incredibles should breeze past $400M imo. Ralph 2 and HT3 should be around $150M-$200M. Spiderverse and maybe Peter Rabbit should cross $100M. Smallfoot can do around $70M. Gnomes will do $500M (jk more like $40M)
IX has some solid competition. The Call Of The Wild, a hybrid animation from Fox (which could move), Wicked which could be bigger than Jumanji and Sing, and Masters Of The Universe which could surprise.
It’s following typical SW saga patterns. IX should be locked for $600M. It’ll probably have a small increase. However studios know they can have films against it know.
You know what if Lionsgate buys Weinstein and perhaps Blue Sky (since Ferdinand didn’t do so hot and if they don’t fold it into DisneyToon, I can see Disney selling and maybe Lionsgate buying), and Choas Walking does $300M+ well (again not likely) they can position themselves to be a big 6 studio taking Fox’s spot.
Question is which one of these movies will make over $150M?

I’m curious to see how Aquaman, Poppins, Engines, Bumblebee, and Spiderverse will perform over the holidays next season. Which one will be the DH/Sing/Jumanji breakout?
