2020 - 1B movies

[Alli]

Since it's a boring weekend, I stole this thread idea from World of KJ. What movies do you think it will make 1B worldwide in 2020? Vote

I definitely think Jungle Cruise could surprise and make 1B

You need an option for None

Really? Not even WW1984? I feel that is a sure bet

If I listed predictions for each of those films, none would be over 1B.

That being said I am sure one or two will exceed my expectations and go over 1B. I'm not saying there'll be no 1B in 2020, there will be,  but I am not choosing any particular movie.

Black Widow and maybe Soul. LOL @ Jungle Cruise.

What a boring year it will be

 

WW2 and FF9 are the only shoe ins

[Avatree]

oh as for WW84 i don't see it increasing 200M worldwide but maybe that's just me. Black widow more likely than WW.

[Alli]

Ok, i added the NONE option. It would be such a bad year if it comes true. But i think we have a few sure bets for the 1B club and some movies that could surprise

With Hobbs & Shaw dropping so significantly so steeply from F8, and dwayne johnson not being in it, i feel like ff9 is really not a shoe in.

Might be pretty cool if there are no $1 billion movies.

[Alli]

Yeah, FF9 is not making 1B

[marveldcfox]

Yikes..2020 screams uneventful. Movies which i will think 10 times before watching even if they get great reviews.

The wealth will be spread in 2020. It's not just Disney

[Cap]

LMFAO at West Side Story.

DUNE could have been a legit contender if they didn't fuck up the lead casting.  Still, the book is a hit that spans generation of readers. Could surprise

Dune has a perfect cast. Chalamet. Skarsgard. MY MAN.

Gonna be best film 2020 tbh.

I think WW and Mulan have the biggest chance. Honestly, it will be good to have the riches more evenly distributed. Maybe smaller films or riskier projects like Dune will have more of a chance to break out. 2019 so far feels very unevetful in terms of BO surprises.

Damn next year is garbage. But perhaps people will finally stop complaining about Disney MONOPOLY lol. I can already see meltdowns next year about how Disney+ and other streaming services killed cinema. 

 

Anyways I think these have a good shot

1. FF9   - I don't see this doing less than 1 billion. 

2. Mulan - If it smashes in China its happening. We shall see

3. Bond - It's a long shot but since there's not many interesting movies coming I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. 

 

 

Black Widow and Eternals scream 600-800 million grossers... Sadly

More people think Mulan will reach 1B than WW2. This is a surprise. I don't think domestic will be high enough for this to happen
