XXRDJisDoctorDoom Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 These big Mario predictions are definitely reminding me of Detective Pikachu. Seems more like a $100-150m film at best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Covid will still be around next year and the competition will be stronger with would be hits released almost every week. I'll say this HITS Black Adam - i see this doing over 300M Bullet Train - this has a cool concept and i think it will be a good movie, Jurassic World 3 - expect this to set the BO on fire again with OVER 1B BOMBS (or underperformance based on expectations) Top Gun 2 - i see this bombing big time with UNDER 100M. The target audience - older adults- is not coming back to theaters anytime soon Avatar 2- this will not bomb, of course, but it will disappoint based on expectations. The Flash - people expect this to do good, but i'm sensing a disappointment. UNDER 200M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illumination knows how to market family films unlike WB and Mario will skew much younger, so it can be more suitable as counterprogramming.

No Time To Die has passed $700m and will end up around $750m in the heart of one of the last waves of the pandemic. I can guarantee you multiple movies will make it to the $1b mark next year. The bigger "danger" is China either exiting the Western box office or being cut out all together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If China is in the game, I see 7-8 films crossing a billion. If China is out of it, probably 3.

YM! Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Tbf while I do think the new variant will inevitably have any effect on box office and film production, I don’t think the film industry is completely doomed or even the 2022 slate. We’ll likely see a lot more pushback dates but the good news is that the vaccines are still working despite the mutations. However, I am starting to think maybe the days where films cruised by 300m domestic and 1B worldwide with ease will become far more rare than usual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild Eric Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 https://deadline.com/2021/12/global-box-office-projection-2022-33-billion-1234891467/ Quote Taking an early look at 2022, Gower Street Analytics is projecting global box office to reach $33.2B next year. That would rep a 58% increase on 2021 if the current year stays on track for the London-based firm’s projected approximate $21B (this is a slightly revised number from its October prediction for the year, in part owing to some Hollywood films not securing China dates through December). Gower Street estimates 2021 worldwide box office stood at $19.2B as of December 11, repping a roughly 75% increase on 2020. Gower suggests the industry will need to wait at least until 2023 to see a full return to pre-pandemic global box office levels of over $40B. The domestic, Chinese and international markets are all poised for improvement in 2022. However, says Gower Street, the most notable gain is expected to be in North America. Currently projected to hit $9.2B in 2022, up from an estimated $4.4B in 2021, that would see it move back up to its pre-pandemic position as the No. 1 global box office market, having been overtaken by China in both 2020 and 2021 — presuming the PRC comes in at the firm’s $8.2B 2022 forecast. This year, that market has already passed RMB 45B ($7.1B), up 128% in dollar terms from 2020, but still not as high as 2019. China remains difficult to predict given advance release information is not widespread and that the market has held back on releasing major Hollywood titles of late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Spider-Man's breakout was definitely a shot in the arm (along with all the literal ones) for next year. These next few weeks will probably be difficult with the Omicron panic but things will hopefully look much better once we're past it. Not gonna make any predictions though I think things may still be kinda depressed into the summer season, but if Covid is finally neutralized as a fatal threat by then I'm optimistic the box office will return to its pre-2020 levels, which would definitely be a good thing for Avatar.

I'm hopeful that Omicron burns itself out pretty fast (relatively speaking.) As for Avatar 2, if we're still dealing with this shit after another year (in terms of lockdowns and restrictions) then IMO it they failed. Also, I really just want A2 to get a China release. I want to see what it can do there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Currently, I predict both Thor and MoM to make more domestically than BP:WF Avatar 2, I have no fucking clue. My range is $300M-EG levels Domestic. But, if it gets a China release it will end up being the highest grossing movie of all time worldwide.

I just don’t see that happening. I just find it funny how bunch of these predictions have the MCU sequels increase from their prequels by a lot except BP2. I know BP2 has had a “troubled” production, but so did DS2. Troubled production doesn’t mean the film will turn out not to be good. I just don’t see Coogler making a bad film.

I firmly believe that we will get rid of this shit very soon. 2022 is homecoming for box office. Especially for Avatar which will be the first Movie to break 1b barrier and if China doesn't ruin Christmas party then I'm pretty sure A2 will cross 4 billions. P. S: if we don't have anything like Omicron and A2 doesn't do1b I'll jump from first floor. Edited December 23, 2021 by Anduin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
