March 2018 is going to have the three-punch combo of Wreck It Ralph, Deadpool, and RPO; all of them will be big hits.

I don't think WiR2 is going to be all that big. IMO they've taken too long for the sequel and the first movie wasn't exactly a huge hit either. RPO is a wildcard that could go either way (although right now I'm leaning more towards it being a big hit). Deadpool 2 is gonna slay everything, though I don't know how much higher it can go than the original (especially if it's R again).

 

On another note, that's a huge number for Pets. Animation continues to kick ass this year which is great to see. 300m+ is locked even with mediocre legs.

I think that $200m domestic is a plausible goal for Wreck-It Ralph 2. It's Disney, so lots of people have it on video. People will know who the characters are. Plus, if the movie is really good, almost nothing can stop word of mouth.

I agree that it should make more than the first movie ($200-250m). I just don't see it being another Zootopia-sized blockbuster. But as always with box office, we can't say for sure until the film is released.

Animation is killing it in 2016.

[Webslinger]

Looking great for Pets, although I'm not surprised; Universal slayed in every single stage of marketing the film.

[tawasal]

Ralph 2 shouldn't have problem making over 200m. It's my minimum. 

[filmlover]

Mike and Dave is also doing better than I thought it would. Should end up as a solid midrange hit ala Friends with Benefits.

The same parents who took their kids to see Deadpool and complained about it will take their kids to see Deadpool 2 because they'll assume they listened to their complaints and made it PG-13...little do they know.

I can't wait for parents to take their kids to see Sausage Party not knowing what to expect other than an animated movie lol.

Especially if you include The Jungle Book.

Expect the same nonsense. I can't help but remember the lady who was yelling at the ticket booth saying "As a theater you guys need to do better job letting parents know this film isn't for kids!!" In which the booth attendant responded with "Well Deadpool is rated R ma'am." 

[That One Girl]

Pets was fun.

 

Surprisingly, it was mostly an audience filled with adults, but as I was leaving the theater, I saw a lot of kids buying tickets for the next showing.  Kind of odd that kids would see a 7:00 show rather than a 4:30 one, but whatever

My God I am watching Sharknado 3. This shit jumps straight into the action

I actually considered watching that one because Universal is featured in it but it slipped off my radar. This gif is fucking HILARIOUS (Don't click it CJohn, wait to be surprised; also a bit NSFW)

No offense to @Baumer, but it's oddly amusing that both of the movies he made clubs about in a positive sense this summer, he totally hated lol

I'm over in the states at the moment. Saw BFG this afternoon. Fantastic movie. Criminal it's doing so poorly. 

Although the movie seemed much more suited to Thanksgiving/Christmas. 

 

The film is great though. Will be treasured in future years once people actually see it.
