With Avatar 2 out, I would give the early odds on winning the year as roughly 75% for Disney's contenders, 25% for Batman vs. Superman.

Probably wise for the studio to see how Fantastic Four will do before moving ahead with a sequel. My guess is that they won't actually ramp up production until they do.

Why is Avatar 2 out?

If you mean filming, it won't start til Spring/Summer 2016, so a lot of time.

Oh, I meant out of 2016. It's moved to winter 2017 at the earliest - and frankly, I'm skeptical we'll see it then if the script still isn't finished.

Steven Spielberg Hopes To Direct Chris Pratt In Indiana Jones Reboot

[acetabulum7]

No, I think Spielberg is done with big action blockbusters.  He's best at smaller Oscar bait films.  Let someone else new direct it.

To be fair Spielberg can and rightfully will do whatever he wants until he retires. If he wants to direct Indy 5 he's the most qualified one IMO.

[Avatree]

I don't really want Spielberg back for Indy 5, that kind of defeats the point of a reboot. Though I would very much like to see him return to science fiction, it's been a decade now

Isn't Robopocalypse in development hell though? I know Spielberg is attached to direct but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Looking at these next years, WB and Disney will continue their way on becoming the two biggest Hollywood studios by far.

 

Lionsgate really need to hit big with their Power Rangers movie or/and discover another YA franchise if they want to keep up.

 

Sony needs to get their shit together with Spidey, continue make Bond movies and focus on marketing well the Dan Brown book adaptations (Inferno and what comes after that).

 

Fox has a pretty nice future line-up: Ice Age (huuuuge OS), Apes, X-Men, Kung Fu Panda (and animation in general), Maze Runner, ID2.

 

Paramount... TF, MI, Turtles, Star Trek and Terminator if they manage to revive it.

 

And Universal is Ok-ish they have Despicable Me, Jurassic and FF.
