2022 Box Office Predictions and Discussion

Recommended Posts



I think Fantastic Beasts can surprise and will do more than 120M.
I see a 150M$ in the US, like the second, the film looks simpler and more adventurous than the twisty Crimes Of Grindelwald.
The Harry Potter fan base remains strong.
I expect a worldwide total of $550M.

Uhm… the first Black Panther was the first of it’s kind. Also it had Chadwick and Michael B. Jordan. This film will probably market as a POC female driven superhero film and I think it won’t replicate the success of it’s predecessor. Maybe I’m underestimating it, but anything above 400 million $ is an overestimation imo.

I stand by what I said a few months ago on Black Panther probably having the most impact than any another MCU film mainly due to the strong hold it has had in the pop culture. A drop is to be expected but not a harsh one.

It won't replicate the success, but it's also not going to drop THAT much. Even (relatively) weak sequels to stronger films don't drop that harshly (AOU dropped 26.5% from TA1, TLJ dropped 33.8% from TFA, JW:FK dropped 36% from JW.)

What made BP so successful was the cultural phenomenon, and that isn't going away all of a sudden. I'd put the minimum at $450M but my expectation is something in the $525-575M range.

Don't want to sound harsh but which impact? I mean, outside the Marvel circles and it's fans, I haven't heard anyone talking about the first film, and I live here in LA. I would say it had it's moment because it was the first of it's kind, but anything more than that would be an overstatement. Even if the drop is softer Stateside, I can see a bigger drop coming overseas.

In 2018 Black Panther grossed 700M in Usa, 100M in China and 550M in the rest of the world, for a $1.35B total

 

For its sequel I'm thinking about 500/600M in Usa, 450/500M in the rest of the world and no release in China, for a $0.9/1.1B total.  Then a lot will also depend on the quality of the film...

Hmmm… How good were they at predicting before this?

 

the-numbers has always been overcautious in their... well, numbers. :) I think Mr. Nash will be very surprised when The Batman hits theaters.
