Trifecta of Zootopia, Civil War, Jungle Book.

 

It certainly looks like it is going to be the Mouse House's year.

Not only those three but TFA did over $285MM after Jan 1st. 

They are going to cross $1B either Friday or Saturday depending upon how big CA opens. That will be more than 5 weeks quicker than Uni's big run last year.

The best movie of the year, Green Room, straight up bombing...I think it will take at least a decade for people to fully realize the overall damage Marvel did to cinema. 

Serious question for you: What was the last real blockbuster you've actually liked? Genuinely curious.

[The Panda]

With TJB getting sellout spillover and double features with Civil War, I think it's in for a sub 50% drop next weekend

[WrathOfHan]

Jungle Book will be the first movie to benefit from CW sellouts followed by Keanu, Zootopia, and Barbershop.

Disney almost never wins the yearly title, because they typically release a lot fewer movies than, say Warners does. Warners has won several years in the past decade through sheer volume.  WB routinely releases 10 or so more films than Disney.

 

Last year's race between Universal and Disney was epic. Not sure there's ever been a year like that, with two studios just lapping the field together.

Disney will completely dominate the studio race this year.

 

The top studio usually makes around 1.7 billion domestic.

 

Disney could make 3 billion. 

 

2017 will be far more competetive since Disney won't release as many monster hits. But I think they'll dominate again in 2018 with leftover SW8, Infinity War 1, Han Solo, Toy Story 4, two other MCU films, etc.

Next year they have Thor 3, SW8, GotG2, Pixar and Disney animations and B&tB. They are gonna dominate just fine

2017 as a whole looks somewhat well rounded but not as strong as 2015 or 2016.

Hopefully someday a random suit looks at the OS markets and sees the ass shit results their movies make here most of the time and say "WTF?! Someone change the distributor of our movies here NOW" because we definitely need that. The marketing team of Disney Portugal has no clue how to sell anything. The Jungle Book bombed and Marvel movies here were never huge. BvS was easily bigger than any of them.

Zootopia's been pretty big in Portugal from what I can tell.

2017 actually looks like one of the most interesting years out there. Lots of potential major/breakout BO hits there even outside of Disney - Despicable Me 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Fast 8, War For The Planet Of The Apes, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Transformers 5, The Lego Batman Movie, Blade Runner 2, Kong: Skull Island, Old Man Logan, The Great Wall, The Dark Tower, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Alien: Covenant, Pitch Perfect 3, Jumanji remake, Dunkirk, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Emoji Movie, Power Rangers, Ghost In The Shell, Baywatch, Bad Boys III... they're all dark horses and have their share of potential there.

 

But I still think Disney will absolutely win the year though. Star Wars VIII, GOTG Vol. 2 and POTC 5 will be in the top 5 DOM and will all cross 1B WW for sure. Beauty And The Beast will also cross 250M DOM and flirt w/the billion dollar club due to the massive popularity of the OG Disney BATB flick (as well as the expected top notch quality... if it's as good as the 1st one, if not better alas Jungle Book, it could genuinely have Oscar buzz to it). Then you got whatever fairytale's coming in July, could be something weirder like Dumbo, Sword In The Stone or Mulan. You also have Thor: Ragnarok trying its moves in the fall before JLA and Star Wars. And Pixar's got two of them coming, as Cars 3 will probably stink up the joint but it'll still make a ton of money, and to make up for it on a critical standpoint, Coco will probably be amazing (it's directed by Lee Unkrich after all, and it's concept is pretty cool) and also make a ton of money... assuming that it's well marketed and not Good Dinosaured.

 

Hardly will it be a 2016 worthy year, but it'll still be massive.
