[Alli]

I admit the jokes in the trailer didn't land for me, but Guardians 2 will explode OW  imo. The first one is too beloved not to. the reaction to trailers is extremely positive too

[arpiaaaa]

Guardians is not very well-know is many countries (mine, for example)
maybe its OW will begreat, but its WW...........

WW has nothing to do with this though. This is all DOM

And Spider-Man this year!

That's a Sony release. 

[miketheavenger]

I'm starting to think Homecoming won't be quite as big as some people are expecting. Yes, it has Iron Man and the new Spidey was very well-received, but right now I can't see more than 300m, which Disney/Sony would obviously still be thrilled with.

I don't know, I can see over 17m but yeah, anything over 15m is pretty good.

It might be one of the hardest films to predict this year.  But I'm thinking maybe 275

Gotg won't be topping BATB

[franfar]

I'd say Spider-Man does 240m DOM. I don't know what to expect, though.

 

1) The franchise has been on a downward DOM slope with each successive film, which might indicate lack of sustaining interest in the franchise:

Rank	Title (click to view)	Studio	Gross / Theaters		Opening / Theaters		Date
1	Spider-Man	Sony	$403,706,375	3,876	$114,844,116	3,615	5/3/02
2	Spider-Man 2	Sony	$373,585,825	4,166	$88,156,227	4,152	6/30/04
3	Spider-Man 3	Sony	$336,530,303	4,324	$151,116,516	4,252	5/4/07
4	The Amazing Spider-Man	Sony	$262,030,663	4,318	$62,004,688	4,318	7/3/12
5	The Amazing Spider-Man 2	Sony	$202,853,933	4,324	$91,608,337	4,324	5/2/14

 

 

2) The MCU magic will breathe new life into this, but not to OT heights.

 

I'll gauge the hype after the next trailer.

[YM!]

SMH will do at least $230M, the ceiling is $400M. Iron Man may help, but DM3 is the week before.

It kind of reflects the quality of the series.

Two great films.  A not nearly as good as the other two but not as bad as people make it out to be film.  A somewhat enjoyable film.  A yeah that one isn't very good film.

[WrathOfHan]

GOTG won't even top 400M.

I wouldn't quite put all my savings in that statement.  I don't think it's a lock though

Here's a question: besides The Last Jedi, could BATB be the biggest OW of the year? Or do you guys think that maybe Guardians will topple it?

 

 

Don't sleep on Despicable 3. Gonna be YUUUUUGE everywhere.

I remember SP 3 was kind of entertaining (dare I say underrated?), but yeah, I see why the reviews were trash.

 

Amazing Spider-Man was pretty good when I first saw it in theaters, but when I look back on it, I don't like it at all. Haven't bothered with AS2. 

 

Original Spider-Man was good but not as good as the hype IMO.

As great the future is for Disney im worried that the other studios will not be able to keep up even remotly. 

 

Disney is just on a hot streak right now. Two years from now you might be asking "what happened to Disney? They're in a big slump now". 

This stuff is all cyclical, nothing lasts forever among the majors, good or bad.

DM3 will be big (to some extent), but sorry it's going to difficult for it to match Minions' OW, let alone BATB.

The highest an animated film opened was Dory with $135M. Minions did $115M but it likely the peak of the franchise.
