Mother/Daughter - 30/110

BH Tilt - 5/10 run until I get more info on the film

Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4 - 12/36

The Nut Job 2 - 7/16

 

Life - 22/75

POTC 5 - 60/150

R-rated Rogen, Galifianakis, Hader Comedy - 25/75 (once again, just a guess, could change when the actual movie is announced)

 

June:

 

Captain underpants - 35/110

Wonder Woman - 115/260

 

The Mummy - 55/155

World War Z 2 - 45/110

Jumanji - 60/190 (Kevin Hart + Dwayne Johnson + Jack Black + known property = massive success)

Disney Fairytale - until I get info on the film, I'll go with 30/90 since if it were a massive property, they'd probably have announced it by now.  I feel like it might be a remake of an obscure/old Disney film in the vein of Pete's Dragon.

 

August:

 

Blazing Samurai - 15/40

Alien: Covenant - 55/140

 

CHiPS - 45/115 (after TMNT, Straight Outta Compton, and Sausage Party, it seems like the second weekend of August is a place where it's likely that a movie will overperform)

Dunno what I said before.

 

All domestic grosses, of course.

 

1. Star Wars: Episode VIII ($600m)
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($380m)
3. Spider-Man: Homecoming ($350m)
4. Beauty and the Beast ($340m)
5. Despicable Me 3 ($335m)
6. Fast 8 ($330m)
7. Wonder Woman ($320m)
8. Kong: Skull Island ($305m)
9. Coco ($275m)
10. The Lego Batman Movie ($270m)

In short, I predict that 2017 will be a smaller year than 2016, but there will be less bitching about how Hollywood doesn't make great movies anymore.

[cannastop]

There are some titles we don't know about yet, of course.

[junkshop36]

I know one thing for certain about 2017. 

 

EP8 will be number 1 DOM. I might be going out on limb on that one though  ?

 

Also, it will out gross Avatar and be the number two grossing movie of all time with 780-820m. 

 

I'll think about the rest later lol

[BadAtGender]

I feel like the "feast or famine" situation which has largely existed since, oh, early 2015. The big films will remain very big, but there will be a noticeable gap once you get below them.

 

Some films to note:

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage (January) - This is a bit of a test to see if Vin Diesel really is a one-franchise man or not. While the conventional wisdom would be that he's little without the fast and furious behind him, remember that the original xXx opened just a bit above the original F&F and finished just slightly below. And that was a franchise that had been given up for dead until they pulled Diesel back in. Could that Fast & Furious lightning strike twice? Probably not, but who knows. A finish above $140m or below $40m would be equally unsurprising.

 

The LEGO Batman Movie (February) - Take a surprise knockout hit and WB's most consistent money-maker and you've got the makings of gold, my friends. It will not surprise me if this ends up the biggest comic book movie of the year. It also won't surprise me if it's more modest and hits at or below LEGO's original gross. The big question is... can it do better overseas?

 

Fifty Shades Darker (February) - It's mostly notable because this stands a really good chance of earning less in total than 50SoG managed opening weekend. 

 

Untitled Wolverine (March) - On one hand, the X-Men films in general seem to be hitting a ceiling that's no better than the upper 100s. On the other, DoFP was largely sold on Jackman and did over $200m. Even if people think it's the wrong lesson to take from Deadpool, the R rating does indicate it's going to be somewhat different than the other superhero flicks. What does that mean? Just that there's a wider range of possible outcomes than normal.

 

Kong: Skull Island (March) - Up until a few months ago, this was probably not on anyone's radar, but now there's that whole Apocalypse Now vibe and you have to remember how bloody well Godzilla was marketed. Even if the film is divisive, WB has a way of getting people to show up opening weekend and from there you've got at least some momentum to pull in a nice final total.

 

Beauty and the Beast (March) - Disney's fairy tale updates have all done at least solid business. Whether this can hit in the stratospheric heights of The Jungle Book remains to be seen, but it's probably not something to bet against.

 

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (March) - Packed month, really. Again, lack of radar, but then it got some traction from comiccon. Probably not something to bet on, bug Guy Ritchie did lead Sherlock Holmes over the double century mark. Even without the starpower, maybe there's something to a bit of quirky anachronism that's got mass appeal?

 

Fast 8 (April) - Nobody expects Furious 7, but even replicating F&F6's business would be fine. Hitting mid month means it won't quite have as good breathing room as 7 did, but still. This could end up well outside the top 5 domestic for the year and still be the second biggest worldwide.

 

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (May) - Stands a good chance of delivering the seventh $300m summer opener for the MCU. Stands a slightly less good, but still believable chance of being the fifth $400m MCU film. On one hand, Marvel is golden and GotG had a lot of good will. On the other, many, many, many people expected Civil War to shatter $500m, and it seems like there's a definite ceiling on the franchise. So "big" isn't in question, but "how big" definitely is.

 

Baywatch (May) - Despite needing to attach himself firmly to the F&F franchise to actually get some big wins as a leading man, Dwayne Johnson has made it work on his own, now. San Andreas and Central Intelligence are two straight $100m+ films for him as a lead, and Baywatch should be #3. If it manages to deliver 21 Jump Street-esque laughs, this could be the comedy winner of the summer.

 

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (May) - This is probably going to see another domestic decline for the once dominant franchise. How big is the question, because if it's on the order of Alice 1 to 2, ouch. At the very best, Depp's domestic woes are going to be unmentioned, and Disney has to hope nobody brings them up (again) at the time. Overseas, it'll probably make bank, though, if somewhat less than previous films which (at least in the case of OST) had very favorable exchange rates.

 

Wonder Woman (June) - Yes, the DCEU films are so far divisive. But they've also all made a lot of money, and WB has a way of doing really good advertising. The comiccon trailer was off the charts in terms of generating interest. If that keeps up, this is going to dominate. $200m should happen regardless, but north of $300m is very believable.

 

The Mummy (June) - So far a question mark, but the Brendan Fraser Mummy films did good business, and Tom Cruise is a considerably bigger draw than Fraser was at any point in his career. Could do modest, Edge of Tomorrow business or could do gangbusters.

 

Cars 3 (June) - Few people may want it, but it's not like it's going to be quiet about it. Probably not even going to do Cars 2 business, but something in the mid-to-upper 100s should be in store. It won't run into TGD's problem of having all advertising life sucked out of it by Star Wars.

 

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (June) - Truth be told, Deadpool isn't entirely unprecedented. Kingsman basically tapped from the same well (hyper violent, comedic, based on a comic), it just didn't have superheroic spandex. Still, it succeeded to the tune of $128m, and while there's a chance the second film goes all Kick-Ass 2 on us, at least director Matthew Vaughn is sticking around for the sequel. However, we'll have to wait and see if there's a scene on the order of Freebird to kick the interest in high gear.

 

Transformers: The Last Knight (June) - How well will it do in China? Because it's not like we should be expecting any great shakes domestically. TMNT2 fell over 50%, so TF5 could do the same.

 

Despicable Me 3 (June) - Secret Life of Pets and (presumably) Sing are showing that Illumination has life beyond the Minions. DM3 will answer whether the Minions are sustaining success, or if they're starting to tail off. It's going to be big, but are we talking in that mid-300m range big, or dropping back to DM1 levels?

 

Spider-man: Homecoming (July) - Spider-Man is big. The MCU is big. The marriage of the two should be big. But are we talking Iron Man big? Or is this a situation where "better than the Amazing films" is good enough. Also a question: how is the situation where Sony is still involved in decisions going to work out. Lots of potential, here, but also a lot of questions.

 

War for the Planet of the Apes (July) - This is a strange beast of a franchise. They're successful, but the connective glue is basically Andy Serkis in mocap, with the human characters switched up entirely between films. That's helpful in terms of letting audiences just drop in whenever, but it also feels a bit antithetical in our hyper-connected cinematic universe future. 

 

Dunkirk (July) - It's not like Chris Nolan needs to prove anything at this point, but he's probably going to. While some may see a WW2 film as a bit out of place in the height of summer, regardless of his director pedigree, I'd just have to remind people that the biggest film of 1998 was a July release WW2 film directed by an a-list director. It's not recent history, but there is precedent.

 

Alien: Covenant (August) - Yeah, Prometheus didn't really get in the good graces of anyone, but it did quite well, and Scott's just given us The Martian, so he can still deliver top tier filmwork if he's so inclined. Plus early August is turning into quite a launching pad for big blockbusters.

 

CHiPs (August) - It's probably not going to be nearly as successful as Baywatch, but Hit & Run was a hell of a lot more fun than it had any right to be, so it might be interesting to see what Dax Shepard can deliver with a budget. Plus, if Ant-Man taught us nothing else, Michael Pena is comedy gold.

 

It (September) - You can't really say horror is hot right now, because it's a genre that rarely sees a downtime. Adapting one of the great horror novels for the first time on the big screen should mean something. That early September release date doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, though.

 

The Equalizer 2 (September) - Denzel remains one of the most consistent box office draws. He doesn't have any gigantic hits, but he's also never attached himself to a major franchise. The first film quietly got to $100m, so there's a chance the sequel could do more. Especially if Magnificent 7 does very well for him this year.

 

Blade Runner (October) - Attempting to get in on that October sci-fi blockbuster business, a la Gravity and The Martian. On the one hand, it doesn't have quite the same "this is really possible" vibe. On the other, there is something to be said about the brand recognition. Plus Villeneuve is doing sci-fi for his next film, Arrival, so there could be some synergy interest if that one is a hit.

 

My Little Pony (October) - It's probably about two or three years too late to really capitalize on the interest. But it's going to be interesting to see how two wildly differing demographics (young girls and bronies) may come together for this. Don't expect a big success, but also don't be surprised if it does some pretty solid business.

 

Untitled Fox Marvel (October) - Whether this still even happens is unlikely, but Fox got First Class made from start of shooting to release in about ten months, so I wouldn't count them out. Maybe this'll be New Mutants, which has been percolating a while. Or maybe it'll be nothing whatsoever.

 

Geostorm (October) - Dean Devlin used to be half of the Devlin/Emmerich combo in the 90s, but while Emmerich stayed on that blockbuster concept train for better or worse, Devlin started branching out and working on producing smaller films and TV (most notably, he was the producer for the excellent conman series Leverage.) Geostorm marks his first foray into feature directing. However, it's seen a lot of release date shuffles as WB has moved its schedule around. (It was originally in the BvS release date.)

 

Thor: Ragnarok (November) - Somewhat disregarded compared to Iron Man and Captain America, the third of the Avengers trinity finally gets his third film. The supporting cast is almost entirely new, and he's joined by the Hulk for some cosmic (i.e. not Earth based) adventuring. This will probably see a boost beyond the previous films, how much will depend on how well people key into the concept.

 

Justice League (November) - WB has ridden that pre-Thanksgiving slot to great success with the Harry Potter franchise. It'll be interesting to see if they can make superheroes shine there, too. If the comiccon teaser is any indication, this will bring more of the fun that people felt was lacking from MoS and BvS. But how well it succeeds may depend on Wonder Woman, so keep an eye on that, first.

 

Coco (November) - Pixar's other movie. The last time they had two, the holiday release didn't do too well. But here's hoping for a different outcome. A lot will depend on whether Disney yet again just funnels all their advertising into Star Wars. And I suppose in a more minor way there's a question if Book of Life stole it's thunder. I doubt it, though.

 

Murder on the Orient Express (November) - Kenneth Branagh is on both sides of the camera, and that's always fun. But, yeah, probably modest business.

 

Star Wars Episode VIII (December) - Odds on bet for biggest film of the year? Well, except for Episode II, every previous Star Wars film was the biggest film in its respective year. Plus, y'know, it's coming off the biggest film of all time*, so, yeah, this is probably a safe bet.

*not adjusted for inflation.

 

Pitch Perfect 3 (December) - The second film was pretty damn dominating. At the moment, I don't see any reason to bet against the third doing equally strong business. Expect a lot of "counter-programming" stories to flare up about it being an alternative to Star Wars for girls and women.

 

Ferdinand (December) - Some of this depends on how Sing shows Christmas animation can do. But it's got a beloved children's book as the basis, and even if Blue Sky hasn't pushed anything into the upper realms of animation business in over a decade, it's still got the potential to do decently well.

[Brainiac5]

Lmao at all these low JL predictions.

As someone who does predictions you all should be a shame of yourselves.

DC has averaged 300domestic with all 3 of its releases.

One thing that I'm certain of and that's JL will be DC's first 400dom grosser along with being it's first 1bil flim.

Bvs Had an 166 o.w ,JL will do about 185-200.

I know everyone is gonna call me "The DC defender" but I'm being more realistic The title alone will bring it 300mil.

In order for JL to do less than 300 domestic absolutely nobody will have to go and see it that will not be the case.

  

 

 

 

 

Not Saying it's gonna do Avengers numbers  but 1bil flat is a lock anything over is a plus.

I can guarantee you said all these things about BVS (except DCEU averaging 300dom since there was only 1 film pre BVS). If it matches BVS dom, they're lucky. You  severely understimate the impact being the sequel of an awfully received film will have.

Although I'm a DC fan I can acknowledge thier problem isn't getting people into seats ,it's keeping them there along with repeat viewings.

JL will open Big! There is absolutely  no way it only makes 200-275 domestic.

350 domestic seems more realistic if anything.

But a 200 domestic number (come on man!).

I kind of have to agree with Brainiac5 here, JL isn't missing $300M, at it's worst will have an big enough opening ($150M-$170M) where it will get to over $300M, even if it gets BVS critical reception or middling audience score. However, over $350M (My prediction is at $345M) would be a hard number to reach especially with SW8 and Coco, which could harm its legs.

I RESPECT YOUR 345 prediction.

JL challenge will be 400dom not 300dom.I also believe 600-650 foreign is also a giving.

My personal guess would be anywhere between 300-350 the high end of that assuming an improvement in quality, the low end if it stays the same. But I can't see it climbing to 400, it won't have late legs due to Star Wars. 200 is just trolling.
