It's over. TFA is safe.

That being said it’s a good Friday number, I’d say it’s Endgame coming back down to Earth but that’s still going to lead to a ridiculously large weekend

[tawasal]

I think all movies with surprise hits in the first outing will have their sequels significantly decrease from their first outings. 

 

JUMANJI 2/3 : SUB 200m

PETS2 : SUB 300m

IT2 : SUB 200m.

I can see $400M DOM especially of how weak the summer of 2020 looks.

yes. June 2020 looks very weak. It will basically have the entire month to itself

[John Marston]

give Endgame an Oscar campaign re release and that could push it over TFA

The Big 4 of Disney, A:EG, TLK, Frozen 2 and SW:TRS might cross $3 Billion on their own when no studio has grossed $2.5 Billion till date. ffs Captain Marvel might end up as below average Disney film in 2019, ignoring Pennguins and I don't think any non-Disney film is beating CM this year.

I believe this to be true, and even some of the Disney movies you mentioned might not pass CM's domestic total.

I mentioned 4 Disney films. On which film are you taking your chances. 

[John Marston]

don't underestimate Toy Story 4. Especially if it ends up as good as the other movies

Endgame unfortunately isn’t Oscar worthy though. :-(. The first two hours ruin those hopes. I think it still beats Force Awakens domestically

Jumanji seems like one time fluke.

IT 2, I liked original but I am not really interested for adult part. If it was kids movie again, I would have been excited.

The only one with a chance to not outgross CM domestic for me is FROZEN 2, Frozen might beat as successful as the original but still come close to 430m and not beat CM.

Why would IT 2 drop $130m+?? Pennywise is still an iconic character, and it's not like the property is forgotten about in that regard. Also, it's the second half of the story, why would more than 1/3 of the audience choose to skip it?

Charlie basically answers for me. What contributed to those movies box office success was due to their uniqueness and originality, but repeating that same formula might not be enough, they have to be better than both of their previous movies and put something refreshingly new to the table for the audience to chew on for repeated viewings.
