2020: How Many $100M Grossers Will There Be? Can It Beat The Record?

[Eric Duncan]

Don't think we did this last year, so might as well start the tradition. Can 2020 beat 2013's long-standing record????

 

1. Bad Boys for Life

2. Sonic the Hedgehog

[Avatree]

Can't remember record, i thought it was 36? But according to the numbers 2013 had 32.

 

Anyway a very quick look at schedule and my guesses:

 

1. Birds of Prey

2. Onward

3. Quiet Place 2

4. Mulan

5. No Time To Die

6. Trolls World Tour

7. Black Widow

8. Fast and Furious 9

9. Spongebob movie

10. Wonder Woman

11. Soul

12. Top Gun Maverick

13. Minions

14. Tenet

15. Jungle Cruise

16. Morbius

17. Conjuring 3

18. Venom 2

19. Death on the Nile

20. Eternals

21. Godzilla v Kong

22. Coming to America 2

23. West Side Story

24. Croods 2

 

Throw in a few surprises and it still won't get close to the record. Super weak year.

 

OUT!

Pretty much everything discussed on this forum is regarding Domestic box office, particularly in the main subforum "Box Office Discussion", is for Domestic discussion. International box office is discussed in other subforums  

Welcome to the forums btw.

Nah don't even see it coming close.

Yeah, this list seems pretty comprehensive. Sure there will be a smattering of names that aren't on the radar, plus I do think Dolittle will squeak it at the start of the year (I think it will do poorly, but more of a Dumbo/Malificent2/GodzillaKOTM 'meh' than a total car crash), I'm fairly high on In The Heights catching a bit of fire, and even if Dune doesn't break out at Christmas there will be a *something* beyond CTA and WSS that will, but agree it won't just be short of the record but short of 2019 as well.

The less 300M+ grossers, the more air to breath for middle hits. This year we had 9 films over that mark, 5 of them over 400M. I would say that 2020 might finish with no more than 5 300M grossers.

[narniadis]

Always a good thing to track... at least its not 2005 and 2006 with only 19 films hitting the mark lol.

There's been one every year I can remember (which is 3 years worth), courtesy of @Mike Hunt last year (among others) and then @Blankments before that.

It's a new year! 2019 looks to be reaching 30 films over $100M. But how will this year do? Well, here's my list for the possibilities coming in the next 11 and a half months.

100M

1. Bad Boys for Life - January 25

[stripe]

To reach the record there has to be 3 movies per month over 100M. First quarter is always hard to match that.

 

January will have 1. Dolittle will miss, with around 75-85M DOM.

 

February has 1 sure (Birds of Prey), 1 really likely (Sonic) and 2 possibilities (Invisible Man, Call of the Wild).

 

March has 3 assured 100M grossers (Onward, A Quiet Place and Mulan) but anything else looks likely. Longshots are Bloodshot and The Way Back.

 

April has No Time to Die and Trolls as sure bets. But hard to see another 100M in that month. Maybe Bad Trip or Peter Rabbit 2?

 

So 8 100M grossers after 4 months. Not bad.

Inflation adjusted 39 😛

[cdsacken]

Probably not. 25 or less

[Godzilla]

I think this year box office success will be a lot more spread out than recent years with Disney dominating. Which I think it's a good thing.
