XXR Didnt Win An Oscar Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I wanted to create a thread to ask everyone, what is your biggest box office dream of 2019. Any numbers you want to see from any particular movie? Any hope you have that may not be likely? I'll list my top 5 to start us off.... 1. The Lion King outgrosses Titanic worldwide 2. Star Wars: Episode 9 over $700m domestic. 3. Artemis Fowl doesn't bomb. I don't need huge numbers, but I was a big fan of the series in my youth and would like to see it succeed ($500m worldwide.) 4. Disney goes over $10 billion worldwide and $4 billion domestic. 5. 'Joker' is the highest grossing film of October. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP1025 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 As a big kaiju fan, my ultimate pipe dream is for Godzilla 2 to gross over $1 billion WW. Realistically, I'd settle for $700-800 million WW. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainbug Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 My dream is a 130M OW and a 300M+ DOM total for Godzilla 2 and another 700M OS for that damn 1 Billion mark. I would be so fucking over the moon if that happens. Also, id love to see Star Wars becoming the DOM champion again with 700M+ DOM, since i dont think either Endgame nor Lion King will reach that mark. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, I'd settle for $700-800 million WW. Would definitely like to see this. Godzilla: KOTM is my #4 most anticipated for the rest of the year. I think $700m is a good number to hit, but if the kaiju battles are really banging, I can see it doing well in many Asian countries. It would need at least $250m in China for a shot at a billion, I imagine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do believe TLK can hit that mark, I'd love for Ep.9 to beat it (slightly, not too much ) and be the domestic champ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion King is a big ? in terms of how high it could go for me. The potential numbers are enormous, but audience reception will be extremely important here, even more than for BatB so i think.

expensiveho Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Artemis Fowl not bombing is not realistic, Disney needs their original sacrifice each year. Would be nuts if it doesn't (especially now that Aladdin looks like "underperforming" instead of bombing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Favreau is directing it, I have a lot of faith in the adaptation. I think if it's just decent, it'll do $500m (the name and nostalgia alone can carry it to BATB numbers.) But if it's....magic....like the firstTFA or bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDole Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Shazam! not only survives its release date but thrives and lives up to the hype & promise of its trailers. At the very least it doesn't become the lowest grossing DCEU movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakus Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Detective Pikachu over Jurassic World worldwide I agree about Godzilla over a billion Either Aladdin or Lion King under the original domestically (just to see the reactions) Edited March 20, 2019 by dakus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
