Ezen Baklattan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 According to BOM, 186 films have crossed $200m domestic, which means we should be getting the 200th soon! Assuming JL, Coco, and TLJ cross $200m, which should be fairly likely, 2018 needs to have 11 200m+ grossers. The following titles seem very likely, in not guaranteed. Black Panther Infity War Han Solo Deadpool 2 The Incredibles 2 Jurassic World 2 Ant Man and the Wasp Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Wreck-It Ralph 2 Aquaman Mary Poppins Returns That's 11 titles right there. So what do we think? Can the milestone be reached by the end of next year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) I read that wrong my bad. So probably Beasts 2 or Ralph 2. Assuming RPO and WIT go crazy like I’m predicting. Also Mulan isn’t happening. Edited November 22, 2017 by YourMother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 22, 2017 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm still not 100% convinced Han Solo opens in summer, so based on that assumption, could see it being the one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Coco is way too hard to predict o/u 200 right now. Not to mention I'm giving both Wonder and Jumanji an outside chance for 200. Too hard to predict until after this Holiday is over.

MovieMan89 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Kind of surprising actually how few movies there are with much 200m potential outside of summer and holiday next year. Panther could end up being the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheer gut. It's one thing to dump Alice 2 in Civil War's fourth weekend. But a Star Wars movie? Against an arguably bigger event -level Avengers?

narniadis Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I've never understood the placement as it is but not sure where they would go with it otherwise, without shifting their whole slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they're not going with a December opening like the others is because they're dead set on Mary Poppins Returns being their Christmas blockbuster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avengers' 4th weekend is it's last concern when Deadpool, Incredibles, and Jurassic World are there to 1-2-3 punch it into a quick grave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I do think that's a terrible release date for Solo. Especially given the internal competition between it, Avengers and Incredibles 2 it creates. They should move it back somewhere, even if not to December. However, from a SW brand perspective, I definitely think December makes the most sense. They could easily alter their November schedule to compensate.

That too. But it's one thing for a studio to think it can take out the competition. It's another -- and far outside of typically wise Disney strategy -- to cannibalize itself.

I understand what you are saying but it seems Disney loves to follow that pattern. 2015 AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON TOMORROWLAND 2016 CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS 2017 GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY II PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES 2018 AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY 2019 UNTITLED AVENGERS ALADDIN However, just like what I said, if SOLO keeps that date, it might get affected by the other releases big time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily disagree but MP has less audience crossover with SW than SW does with Avengers, Deadpool, Jurassic, and Incredibles. It's a first world problem for Disney to have, but if I were them, I'd rather put Han at Christmas where it has less competition (both internally and externally) and SW has proven to be massively successful two -- presumably three -- years in a row now.

aabattery Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I like Christmas being Star Wars time. Gonna be weird going back to a non-corporatised holiday period next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 22, 2017 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 22, 2017 Either way, I don't want to distract from @spaghetti!'s topic! Definitely intriguing to think we're coming up on that number. When I first joined the Mojo boards, I think we had just hit 100 $100m movies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be WIR2 or AQM if 1 or 2 movies not listed here and makes it to 200m (RPO surprises or something). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
