I thought 2019 was supposed to be the biggest year ever?

Premature thread is premature.

The year isn't over yet, so we'll see. $11,892.5 million is big number to beat though.

Sadly it appears only superhero movies are doing great numbers still.

It's April 8. If this still holds up three-four months from now, then this thread might be relevant.

This will be a feast and famine year really.

 

Disney and Superhero Films will dominate pretty much.

This thread only becomes relevant if summer doesnt beat last year. It was always obvious that Winter and early Spring 2019 would not be that great.

Do you mean billion? At 2bn it already sailed past that.

In millions, so $11,892,500,000. $1.18925 x 10¹⁰ if you're nasty.

I thought 2019 was supposed to have another 8-9 months left?

Summer is going to determine this. I imagine May/June/July will be massive

Yeah for

May (excluding Endgame holdovers), Both Pikachu and Aladdin have strong chances at $300M DOM, Godzilla 2 might break the sequel curse DOM at least, and I still think Rocketman will breakout. Long Shot and John Wick 3 Should also have chances at $100M

 

June has Pets 2 and Toy Story 4, and even though I think the two will eat into and limit each other, I think both will do around $290M-$350M. Men In Black International will probably be in the lower 100s while Dark Phoenix goes sub $100M.

 

July has both Far From Home and The Lion King. Now I firmly believe the former will decrease from the first domestic, The Lion King is a unpredictable box office monster. I also think Hollywood could pull in a nice $160M-$175M DOM

 

Even August looks nice. Hobbs and Shaw might do what TMNT did in 2014 and Dora and Angry Birds 2 should post solid numbers.

The year of superhero/cbm fatigue

Not fatigue but rather stagnation, apart from the future Avengers, Black Panther 2, CM2 and WW1984, I do feel both MCU and DC Worlds films as well as CBMs in general won’t reach the same heights.
