2023 Box Office Predictions and Discussion

Recommended Posts

I started to talk about it, but if it were me and trying to "fix" 2023's schedule, I do the following basic changes....

 

- Lionsgate moves John Wick 4 to May 19th

- WB moves Last Train to New York to July 14th

- Universal moves Fast X to June 16th

- Sony moves Spiderverse back to November 3rd

- WB moves The Flash back to October 20th

- WB moves Barbie up to June 23rd

- Universal moves Oppenheimer back to December 22nd

- Paramount moves Mission: Impossible 7 to July 21st

 

That gives you the following....

 

May

Guardians 3

John Wick 4

The Little Mermaid

 

June

Transformers

Fast X

Elemental

Barbie

Indy 5

 

July

Madame Web

Last Train to New York

So, Aquaman 2 is on March 17th. And Haunted Mansion on March 10th, right behind Aquaman 2.

 

I guess Disney wants to release this in March. Would the March 24th date be better for it? 1 week after Aquaman, and not 1 week before. Or it wouldn't make any difference? 

 

Or maybe it would be a bad idea after instead of before?

I think Strange World will be buried in November. 

 

The movie, based on 1st trailer, won't be a strong player at all imo. I could be getting ahead of myself. But that's just what I'm feeling right now. It just looks like... another generic Disney movie. 

 

I would still move it to March 3rd. Just a feeling. And push Haunted Mansion to March 24th.

This are some sizzling takes

 

TLM  is not fricking bombing.

Thinking 400m/900m+

 

Indy 5 350-425/875-1.05b

It's not getting that high after crystal skull reception. 

 

1.2b for marvel's from fucking where without china.

 

Dune 165/510 no fucking way.

More like 75-90/225-300m/750-900m

 

Quiet place day 1 is a spinoff not sequel.

 

Though I'm not that high on spiderverse domestic , 400m dom wouldn't surprise me all that much but thinking high 200s to mid 300s can happen. I don't see it making a billion even with such a high(400m+ domestic total.

Thinking 275-400m OS .550-750m ww.

 

Oppenheimer will be a moderate success. Nolan gets butts in seats.

150/450m+ . Budget on this is allegedly 100m.

 

Barbie is a wildcard . Can see it exploding dom but doing moderate  OS.

250-350m+/500-700m.

 

Aquaman , guardians and quantumania legs are a little harsh.

Yeah. The Marvels won't come close to Captain Marvel. It was totally carried by Endgame hype and the movie wasn't good. 

 

The Quantumania prediction is ridiculously low.  I would have The Marvels at 600M WW (which I think it's realistic) and Quantumania at 850M WW. 

 

Guardians is the only MCU movie in 2023 with a billion chance but I doubt it. 

 

Bruh. Barbie won't make 1.1B.

 

The Little Mermaid won't bomb. I do think it will underperform based on people current expectations. But not bomb. I'm guessing 550-700M WW.

Honestly, The Marvels sub 700m just seems like unrealistic hope for those who really hated the movie or were oddly mad at Larson for her opinion and just can’t let it go. I mean Thor: The Dark World is easily the worst MCU but it jumped with Ragnarok, compared to Captain Marvel which if we look outside of a loud Internet vocal minority, WOM was in line with other MCU flicks. No Marvel movie has dropped that much and with the rumor and true additions, I doubt it goes below $800m at the bare minimum as it seems to be the movie that they’re shaping up to be the event MCU movie. I think a fall will happen due to China and it hitting a zeitgeist but I think 300m+ and 850m+ is pretty much locked provided Feige and DeCosta deliver the goods.

The Marvels? Event movie? 

 

I do think sub 600M is impossible. But my guess would be 750M. If Blade releases in 2023, I do think Blade will be the lowest grossing MCU movie of 2023.

 

The way you just make everything about gender and politics as a shield. 

 

When I say I don't have much confidence, it's because...I don't think people are that excited for the characters in this movie. Like it or not. Ms Marvel feels like a ignored D+ show. I usually watch a lot of D+ shows reactions on YT and some are not even watching it. Monica Rambeau...I think she's a fine character that was served poor writing. Specially in the finale. Captain Marvel, outside of being highly controversial, was highly mediocre. From every aspect.  I think the only strong point of it was Fury and Carol friendship. Maybe once trailers hit there's something that will change my mind. But right now, I don't see the Marvels as a 800M at the very least.

It wasn't then. 

 

But I think it was just very poorly written. Emotionless. A Wall. 

Okay. I thought it was lower tier MCU but about the same as a number of origin movies like Homecoming and Black Widow.  A 3/5, see it once and I’m good.
 

I just don’t think the proof is there for such a large drop, even though I think a drop is happening due to how much it made. It’s really rare for a tentpole to drop that much, even if it is really disliked and I’m not really seeing much of an indication that Captain Marvel is going to fall by about 50% from the past entries unless it was consecutively bad repeated installments over time. It would be on the scale of TLK from AoE and that had a plethora of problems from bad reviews to the last one being far more disliked than almost any MCU movie.

If I were Disney I would have removed July 28th MCU date & would have given either GOTG3 or The Marvels December release date of Star Wars. But this is Chapek's Disney so he is likely to fuck up both Indiana Jones & The Marvels. He has already given up July 7th to Sony Marvel & now he would give up Star Wars date to rumoured Venom 3.

There are some absolutely WILD predictions in here. 

 

I adore Dune (my favorite book and book series of all time) and am so thrilled it found success in a time when not a lot of movies were, but not a chance in HELL it gets anywhere close to a billion. I think it can definitely improve over Part 1 and get to $600m-ish, which is a great number for an auteur, heady Sci-Fi movie. 

 

The Marvels is defininitely hard to predict without the Endgame factor plus the fact that Ms. Marvel is low-key bombing on D+. Still, under $600m seems insane to me. We'll see. 

 

And Transformers opening to only $35m and grossing under $100m domestic just isn't happening. I think it will at least top The Last Knight domestically and worldwide (assuming Paramount can secure a Chinese release). I've heard good things about it--Paramount really just needs to find it a date where it can compete.

 

I will agree with some of you that the Hunger Games prequel will bomba. The book is DREADFUL and has none of the qualities fans of that series would want in a movie.
