I was thinking more like $500M-$600M WW for HT3 type of increase but idk for now $125M/$450M seems right.
Smallfoot needs to gtfo out of September, it can easily turn into another Storks/Ninjago/LOTG, the spot isn't good for WB/WAG. Maybe they can position it in late July or go for broke and do October. Goosebumps 2 isn't helping it.
Only 2 animated films have been officially dated for the Summer: Incredibles 2 which will benefit massively from the yearlong drought of family films and HT3, which can either pull an IA3 (flat domestic, big increase WW) or a KFP (decreases for both).
Anyone else think Thor hitting $300M is more likely now. The last big live action hit will be IT and the last big family movie and live action film with multi demographic appeal was Homecoming. Kingsman and BR2049 will likely do the same $95M-$110M range.
Ferdinand will likely appeal to the under 10 crowd and do Road Chip Numbers. The trailers for this suck. I went from this seems cute from the first to this looks like shit from the recent one.
2. Cloudy 1 and TLM, I'm not staying stick to it, I'm a huge Lord/Miller fan and would see anything with them involved. My guess their next movie will be Flashpoint.
I'm only really anticipating Panther, Mutants, and Aquaman in terms of movies from the big CUs. Animated Spider-Man and Incredibles 2 should be solid. Infinity War and Deadpool 2, I'll be there OW but I'm not really excited for either.
With a huge yearlong animated drought, there not being a major animated movie since Coco, and Peter Rabbit, likely the biggest animated movie of Q1 2018, not doing shit (i.e. $100M+), I think Incredibles 2 might be able to do $450M+.
They take away a lot of showings for The Star. Odds are Coco is having a 4,000 TC though so that could be problematic as stated.
It's 2011 all over again. However 2018 will be a great rebound. You have 3 films guaranteed over $200M and 2 guaranteed for $300M. HT3 and Spidey won't be slouches either.
I think Coco is having a 4,000 TC but I wonder if The Star will have a big TC, like 3,000+, Sony's other animated movies this year had some big TCs. Emoji opened in 4,000+, and Lost Village had 3,600+.
