Which studio will win 2020

Which studio will ultimately win the 2020 boxoffice? Will Disney keep its streak going? 

 

Speculate!

Whichever one cures Coronavirus? Wfk

If theaters can reopen this summer enough for Major studio films to releases their films, WB, they are the ones who seem most suborn about remaining open and have Tenet WW84 and Dune all still set for 2020 releases.

I think Paramount has an opportunity to get a lucky break. I'm not saying they're going to win the entire year. I'm saying there's a chance their big blockbusters might not falter as much as they would have in a normal year. 

 

As for who I think will win. I think it's an arms race between Disney and Warner Brothers. Universal is out because many theaters won't play their movies anymore. Sony might've stood a chance, but they've all but abandoned 2020. I think The Secret Garden could be a breakout hit, but that doesn't mean STX can actually win or anything. So yeah. That's the race.

In case theatres don't open entire year, I think we have a winner in Sony. @TMP

Looks like it will be Sony followed by Universal then Disney/Fox. Disney's streak is over.

It's a booby prize no matter who wins.

The Winner won't make enough money to cover basic operating expenses or the interestes on the loans that finance movies.

Sony did in fact win the year followed by Universal.

I was going to say I think it is a good example of a case where it is not.
