Also, unless IX is crap, I think it'll do 700M. 

 

TLJ from TFA was pretty much the same drop as ATOC from TPM. What's more, ATOC and TLJ were both very divisive (and depending on who you ask, terrible), in some way "tarnishing?" the brand for some people. Solo was basically The Clone Wars tv series of 2002 (pretty decent, but not watched by many). And if they can make and market IX in some way that gives a sense of finality, I don't see why it can't increase like ROTS. 

 

The same % increase from TLJ as ROTS saw from ATOC would give IX 750M. I'm taking off 50M and going with 700 because of the whole "ROTS had Vader's birth" hook which IX obviously won't have. But no doubt ROTS's sense of finality brought back some audiences. I think if Disney makes and markets this right, it could really challenge Avengers and TLK as a 3-way race for the 2019 crown.

Aladdin's gonna make a LOT more than $543 million. I'd say at least $800 million. People underestimate the immense popularity.

For sure.

No way is SW9 going over $600M.

 

Massive damage has already been done to that franchise. It's coming a lot lower than most are expecting. 

[fabiopazzo2]

I think many people undertimate SW IX... see ya when the trailer comes out

Yes.

 

 

And somehow it still makes tons of money.

 

People here (i personally think) tend to underestimate how bulletproof the SW Franchise is in the US. If Episode IX is well received by audiences, it will explode.

True but the last film in the Skywalker saga is coming out in less than a year and the fanbase is massively divided after TLJ and does not seem very excited about what may be in Episode 9. Maybe its for the best we dont have endless fan theories but a rather 'depressed fanbase'' usually spells trouble I think and ROTS always had Vader to get people excited, what does Episode 9 have that is remotely as interesting? 

 

As I said there are two camps on this site and we wont agree ever that either TLJ is a masterpiece and the SW fanbase can go fuck themselves or TLJ has damaged SW for a while.

 

We will find out who is correct in a year.

I looked at those predictions calling for multiple $800 million domestic films and laughed. How much money do people think there even is?

 

And as far as IX goes, people are really overestimating the apparent damage supposedly caused by TLJ and Solo. JJ has the ability to press the reset button and market it as if to erase any bad feelings that MAY have occurred. Solo is a non-entity because it is so separate from the saga.

 

TLJ's shortcomings are NOT on the level of Jar Jar and ROTS totally rebounded from AOTC.  While IX won't do anything close to TFA's numbers, it has a chance to at least meet TLJ if not surpass it if they do some great marketing. Fans aren't going to suddenly jump off the bandwagon for the third chapter just because TLJ didn't meet their expectations. That's silly talk. It might not make $600 million but talk about it not having a chance is just crazy.

 

Domestic/WW for 2019

1. End Game $690 mill / $1.9 Bill (no brainer)

2. Lion King $650 mill / $1.7 Bill (no brainer)

3. SW IX $630 mill / $1.3 bill (people are underestimating JJ's abilities to revitalize; TLJ was more INCOMPLETE than it was horrible and JJ has the chance to truly complete it)

4. Frozen 2 $450 mill / $1.1 bill (no brainer)

5. Toy Story 4 $430 mill / $1 bill (no brainer)

6. Aladdin $330 mill / $850 mill (people are severely underestimating its popularity and passing early judgement)

7. Captain Marvel $315 mill / $750 mill (could be higher IF it ties in nicely to the Thanos war)

8. Spider-Man FFH $305 mill / $800 mill (could be higher but I suspect some burn out by then)

9. SLOP 2 $270 mill / $750 mill (it will be somewhat overshadowed by TS4)

10. Dumbo $250 mill / $700 mill (torn on this one-looks like a fun family film that would have "soared" during holiday time)

11. It 2 $235 mill / $750 mill (will drop from the first one)

12. Joker $215 mill / $550 mill (mixed-not personally that interested but the character's an icon and JP could do something interesting)

13.  Detective Pikachu $180 mill / $500 mill (this is a friggin' card game from the 90's-not sure if people's predictions are a joke or what)

14. Shazam! $175 mill / $450 mill (new twist on superheroes with a light-hearted comedic feel-could do very well)

15. Godzilla KOM $170 mill / $600 mill (despite the icons, I feel like it will drop-the first had poor legs)

Notable absence: Jumanji 3. I am going to have to see it to believe it in terms of its release in 2019 if it starts filming in late January. Fat chance! This isn't the 1990's where they can throw together post-production in 6 months. That's not even including possible reshoots.

Personally I see Episode 9 getting around what the TLJ got in the end.
