Ehh, I think both will be just fine. Family tentpoles like that have survived each other in the past. 

But this has never happened in the past. There's 4 family tentpoles within a 7 week span that are all aiming for 350m+. 

[RichWS]

Other than Aladdin, I don't see why the other three should move. If anything, I think Lion King is the best shape because it has the most distance.

Yeah, moving one of the four would help them all big time. And Aladdin should be the one. TLK is in a pretty good spot, but can't fathom these 200m+ OW predictions for TLK happening after the business those will do not too long before it. Can't really even see 150 in that market. If you look at 100m+ OWs, there's pretty much never been more than 2 in a similar time frame. All those are expected to hit that mark, plus additional movies like Avengers and Spiderman. There will be some fatigue by that point.

Going to rename the thread so it's just a basic predict thread for everyone

[Rorschach]

It would be embarrassing for WB if Shazam outgrossed Justice League domestically (assuming your $230 mil predict comes true).

Not really, Shazam doing more than JL means another franchise for WB.

That would be cool don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that for a team-up movie that was anticipated for many decades to be beaten by a lesser known superhero is kind of sad.

It would at least show interest in the brand again, unlike what happened with Justice League.

Wonder Woman ended up outgrossing Justice League as well which WB likely wasn't expecting either.

Shazam has huge potential and I think it could turn out well

[Cap]

The best thing Shazam has going for it is that I would say 90% of the GA doesn't know it's based on DC Comics.

Almost every sequel in the top 10 overpredicted especially SW.

Except Avengers 4... and Toy story 4!? 

[Lordmandeep]

There is no way in hell SS is outgrossing the first.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I’m hoping AD Astra grosses over 100 mil DOM. I’m hopeful Godzilla 2 goes over 200 mil DOM, but I’ll need to see trailers first. I think Dumbo can reach over 200 mil since Greatest Showman proves a circus film can break out. The Lion King will win the year.

Yes.

Those are both conservative numbers.

[YM!]

Toy Story 4 seems like an unnecessary sequel, 3 was the best way to end it and the finding Bo Peep angle seems not the best hook, not to mention opening before Pets 2 will dilute OW. 

[Jonwo]

I don't see SS2 opening in 2019, I think February 2020 looks more likely.
