Oh before the panel for it starts I'll put in my hot take: I think Mary Poppins Returns wins 2018 domestically now that Mulan is out of the way. I've started the club saying JW/Infinity War go under 400 and I think Mary Poppins is the only movie to do it next year. These Disney fairy tale adaptations are probably the second biggest franchise behind Star Wars main trilogy.

 

Well...that's certainly a hot take.

Really? I was thinking the grosses would be closer to Into the Woods (the last Rob Marshall/Emily Blunt/Disney collaboration that also opened on Christmas Day), although I guess $200M+ isn't impossible if everything goes right for it.

I admit my feeds are (sadly) a bit over Disneyfied because I did theater and some of those kids are just nuts about it, but even non-theater friends from all kind of backgrounds have annual passes, obsess over every announcement, etc. I don't get it, but the classic Disney stuff is just a fucking beloved obsession for millions people, and Mary Poppins Returns has a great release date and the perfect cast.

I've always believed in Oz numbers for Mary Poppins. It seems like the obvious #1 for families during Christmas and the original movie's one of those movies that gets passed down from generation to generation where it's still an easily recognizable brand.

Mary Poppins is a much more iconic property and it's just alot more accessible than Into The Woods.

Well, Emily Blunt and Mary Poppins Returns are trending worldwide...

You're probably right. If anything, Nutcracker is more likely to have an Into the Woods type of run (since that should make at least $125M). I just looked at the December 2018 schedule and Aquaman is the only other thing there with potential of ruling Christmas (since we all know Avatar 2 isn't making it).
