YM!

They are doing 4 next year, 2 being hybrids. They even put the Angry Birds Movie sequel under the SPA umbrella. IMO this isn't a good idea.

I'm going to look at my theater and potentially two more tomorrow. I'd do it tonight but I have a party to go to.

Bet your hairline is still shit.

Time to roast. Boy, why you rocking that school shooter haircut?! Why you trying to be Ned Bigby so bad?!

An $100M OW would still be good for Homecoming.

$82,765,981

@grim22 I have my entry for the contest.

Grim22 doesn't have a comparable one for WW but he thinks $100M is still on.

That's what I'm thinking too. $100M-$110M OW seems to be the range.

$82,765,981

This does have the best chance to make $100M out of all the animated movies January to May which bodes well for Incredibles 2.

Guessing Emoji.

That's what I was thinking too. Rabbit will do $105M-$140M unless by some miracle it gets extraordinary reviews but even then opening the week before Black Panther might be a bad idea. However this puts Incredibles 2 in a good position since Peter Rabbit is the only animated family film that could do $100M+ before it opens and the family market would be extremely barren.

Looking back at how big animation was last year, I was expecting this year to be very soft.

It would not surprise me if no animated movie outside of DM3 did over $200M. Animation this year is like animation in 2011. Me and @narniadis were talking about this last year due to 2016's big overperformance for animated movies. 2018 however seems like a good rebound with Incredibles 2, Grinch, Ralph 2, Animated Spider-Man, Peter Rabbit and Hotel Transylvania 3.

During an interview in May 2013, Bird reiterated his interest in making a sequel: "I have been thinking about it. People think that I have not been, but I have. Because I love those characters and love that world." He continues, "I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another Incredibles film, and if I can get 'em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that." At the Disney shareholders meeting in March 2014, Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger confirmed that Pixar was working on a sequel to The Incredibles, with Bird returning as writer. Before the release of Tomorrowland he even said Incredibles 2 was his next film.

Animation in 2018 seems like a good rebound. Incredibles 2 could be a slightly smaller Dory and do $450M. Grinch will blow past $300M, Ralph 2 and Animated Spider-Man will be in the same range ($180M-$220M), Hotel Transylvania 3 will do well but decrease from 2 to about $145M. However the first half of the year outside of Peter Rabbit, no animated film has a shot for $100M. Early Man and Laika's untitled film will do sub $50M, Gnomes will do Storks numbers at best, and Stubby will be lucky for $20M. And Anubis just got pushed back to the TBD area.

I think animation in 2018 will rebound, although the first half is extremely barren, Incredibles 2 will massively benefit. Maybe Peter Rabbit too.

There's not really a big one.

You aren't going to troll are you?

YourMother's Theories #1073: The Shrek 4 effect DM and Shrek were very similar in terms of box office. Both had a breakout first film, an overperforming sequel, and a "third" film that's way bigger than the first but has negative reception and is under the second one. Both Shrek 4 and DM3 had very limited appeal outside families and it's fanbase with little to no twists left in store.

Lego Movie

I'm not going to lie but I think Valerian may gross over $125M domestic now.

Since I'm now stanning for Valerian, my brother you should return the favor and stan for this (or Incredibles 2):
