It's my personal prediction. I mean tickets, as far as I know, haven't been on sale but the last one opened to $96m so a +$100m for the second one doesn't seem that difficult considering the first one is very well liked. Of course I could be wrong and it could be one of these sequels that "nobody asked for" and makes 1/2 the first one but I haven't had that impression.

The reviews are not perfect but some of you are acting like it got Borderlands reviews. This is locked to open +$100m and I would say $120-140m OW is a realistic prediction. However, we'll se if fans, or more importantly, general audience likes this movie, that will be crucial for reaching $1b. Reading the reviews, I don't know if this movie is what the fans of the first one are looking for but the OW WW will be so big that the worse case might have another Multiverse of Madness/Love and Thunder situation and still reaches $750-900m WW with really mediocre legs...

I have four Illumination movies on my ranking. The first two Despicable Me movies, Sing and Super Mario Bros. I think the first Despicable Me movie is actually great and their best movie to date, second one was also good. Sing was pretty good and Mario is not a good movie but it is a total blast if you have played the games. The rest of their movies are really mediocre. Not Illumination but I also have really fond memories of the Ice Age franchise, hence why the first four are on my ranking. I remember my parents took me to watch the first one and since then we have seen all of them in theaters, even the horrific Ice Age: Collision Course.

Here is my list, I've basically seen almost the entire catalog of WDAS/Pixar/DreamWork's movies + some Illumination, Blue Sky and Ghibli movies so if something really good from the latter ones are missing then I'm sorry. 1.

The trailer looks much better than I anticipated, I'm actually going to watch this only because of Rachel Zegler, she's fantastic. The dwarves look like a nightmare lol, they really should have used actors for this and not CGI. Honestly, I think this will be Gal Gadot's best performance of her career, which is not saying much but she doesn't look awful and it is a role that any actor would enjoy.

A 52% verified audience score is insanely bad. Borderlands might be unwatchable lmao

My MCU ranking post-Endgame/Multiverse saga (not including TV shows or specials): 1. Guardians of the Galaxy. Vol 3 2. Spider-Man: No Way Home 3. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 4. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 5. Deadpool & Wolverine 6. Black Widow 7. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 8. Spider-Man: Far From Home 9. The Marvels 10. Eternals 11. Thor: Love and Thunder 12. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Avengers for sure. Shrek V could have done it as well but it opens on a Wednesday. Can't think of anything else unless something breaks out massively

That's amazing for Deadpool & Wolverine. Honestly August doesn't look bad at all with all the money D&W and Twisters will still be making, holdovers and, of course Trap, It Ends With Us and Alien: Romulus, which all look like they are going to overperform

The thing with MCU 2025 movies is that they need to be great and have good critic scores to make money IMO. There is no saving for Cap 4, Thunderbolts or Fantastic Four if they get the same reception as Quantumania, Love and Thunder or even Multiverse of Madness. However, if they are great I could see them surprising, specially Fantastic Four, as they seem to not have any multiverse shenanigans and to be their own thing (which I think helped GotGV3).

I'm one of the few people on earth that liked Season 1 but that trailer for Season 2 already looks much better than anything on Season 1. I really hope it delivers cause it looks fantastic. I don't know if many people will be back but I sure will.

Watched this opening day and I had so much fun with it but I can see why some critics hated it. I am pretty done with the multiverse, wouldn't mind if Avengers 5&6 are the last multiverse movies because this clearly isn't the last one. It just seems like there are not any stakes at all and also no build up for anything, but that is just my opinion. Hugh and Ryan chemistry carried this movie, extremely funny as well. The cameos were great as well and better used than in Multiverse of Madness. My favorites were Chris Evans as Human Torch and Henry Cavill as Wolverine, totally unexpected. Elektra, Blade, Gambit (so funny) and X-23 were a surprise as well, that Elektra-Daredevil joke was insane lmao. Didn't care for the whole TVA part of the movie or the villain and her motivation. I thought that part of the movie was very poorly explained and I just allowed it cause I was having a blast with this movie.

Really? I must be in the minority here but I think Thunderbolts has more potential for a breakout but also could easily be another The Marvels. I think Cap 4 is going to be like Twisters, great money DOM and very little OS.

The movie looks at least like a crowd pleaser and with lots of action. I'm thinking this will do very well in Europe. Second half of the year is full of wildcards and I love it. I find it boring when it is too safe to predict what movies will do. Safest bet for a breakout is probably Moana 2. Gladiator II, Wicked, Beetlejuice 2, Mufasa, War of the Rohirrim, The Wild Robot, even Venom 3 can all break out or be complete flops.

The movie looks great but the music choice...you have one of the most recognizable and beloved sountracks and decide to play a rap song. It's like putting a rap song on a Lord of the Rings / Star Wars movie trailer.
