2017 & Beyond Discussion Thread | Is 2017 (Summer) Bigger than 2016?

[DAJK]

Offopic but 2016 is looking like what 2015 was supposed to be.

I completely agree. And I'll bet that in a year we'll be saying "2017 is looking like what 2016 was supposed to"

With the conclusion of Hunger Games in 2015, I now expect Disney will have the #1 movie every year for a good long time, barring another out-of-nowhere megahit like Avatar.

Not really. I honestly can't see how you'd think 2016 is locked for Disney to win.

2014 won't belong to MJI, nor will 2015. Not another out-of-nowhere hit like Avatar, but Avatar 2, etc. 2017 has JL, WB could take the year.

You mean like Avatar 2, 3, and 4?

2016 has BvS. Warner has a good chance of taking that year also.

If Avatar is there no chance, also gave CW.

[James]

What's CW? Yeah, I agree about Avatar, but I really doubt it will be ready by 2016.

[DAJK]

Avatar 2 2017 more likely, which it could win, unless episode VIII surpasses it. I don't think JL Part 1 will make much more than 450M, and Infinity War isn't until 2018.

I think BvS alone will make more than 450M.

Civil War.

[DAJK]

I think BvS alone will make more than 450M.

Off of what OW? I think it could do 400 off of a 150 OW. And JLP1 will probably do about the same numbers...

 

Suicide Squad is 2017? Or is it 2016? Because I think that movie can do very well, potentially with a 75+ OW, just because they're bringing in the Joker, who is insanely popular, despite Leger not playing him this time around.

Look at B89 and yes 2016.

Well, if WB managed to make MOS open to almost 120M, I'm sure adding Batman to the equation will be a gold mine. With 3D and inflation I think a 180Mish OW is in order.

VIII - 500M

JL1- 475M

TS4 - 410M

GOTG2 - 400M

DM3 - 350M

Aren't my predicts, but just showing how 350M is the low end of the top 5. All are realistic. VIII hard to predict w.out VII, but if it does 600M this would be appox a 17% drop. JL1 475M might be to low. 410M-380M seems about right for TS4, but needs to deliver can't be a S3 type sequel. GOTG2 enough said. As for DM3 appox a 5% drop, even MU increased over MI.

Bet on 5 being over 350M?

Jury still out on JL. By then the concept of a DC comics assemble wont be as novel with BvS, Suicide Squad coming out before. If those underperform that will hurt JL.

Don't think being the first out of the gate matters especially with the general audience to them will likely be BvS2. Don't think JL will make 350M?

I don't think it's a lock, no.

Man of Steel was able to make 290 with quite mixed critics. Unless BvS, Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman films are absolute shit, Justice League will make more than 350 for sure.

BvS - $440 million 

Suicide Squad - $205 million 

Wonder Woman - $210 million 

Justice League Part 1 - $325 million 

 

Justice League is also beating split into two parts. HP, Twilight, HG and others have seen declines with their part ones. JL should be no different - especially since DC's non-Batman output is mediocre.
