If something does it before fast X put my money on John Wick More detailed thoughts: Hide contents Adam : probably under Strange world: probably under Puss: probably under ant-man: probably over Creed: probably under Shazam: probably under John Wick: 🤔… still probably under I think, maybe best chance so far though? Mario: probably under? Fast X: pretty likely, right? Spiderverse: solid shot transformers: probably under Elemental: no idea flash: no idea Dead Reckoning pt 1: pretty likely Barbie probably under, Oppenheimer probably under, blade hopefully over but decent chance of in between, dune good chance, hunger games under I guess No way Mario does less than 200M 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Mario will skew much younger than Pikachu mainly because it’s wholly animated and will likely from a marketing perspective focus more on the comedy. Mario also benefits from being the first family/animated film since the holidays with no major competition to hurt it. I’d be shocked if it did under Sonic 2. Edited September 19, 2022 by YM!

One situation where it overperforms massively beyond our expectations and does $300m+ domestic, and another where it underperforms and does slightly under the first by 5-10% ($170m-$180m) The latter situation of $170m-$180m domestic is the far most likely of the two.

Mario also won't have to be dealing with as much competition as Pikachu was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Fast X feels like it's gonna underperform big time. Mario, Spider-Verse, or Mission: Impossible should be the first to get to 200M. Feel like Spider-Verse is the most likely, because I'm betting big on Mario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Mario is probably going to get to $200M first. Then Mission: Impossible, and then Spider-Verse. And maybe behind that I'd say Elemental has a 50/50 shot at hitting that number, too. Edited September 19, 2022 by JWR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year where Minions 2 will get to $370M, Sonic 2 to $191M, no NWH or Omicron outbreak, Puss in Boots beating Sing 2’s $162M is very likely, and the ceiling is above $200M Original Sing made $270M from its late December release in part because there was limited family product for holidays: Adult-skewing tentpole Rogue One (Avatar 2), Thanksgiving leftover Moana (Strange World) … and that’s it.

The one that shocked the hell out of everyone and opened to $34M on Halloween weekend, and then held at $33M the next weekend? Grossed in total as much as X-Men First Class that same year, despite getting hammered with competition (Happy Feet 2, Muppets, Arthur Christmas) over Thanksgiving and basically gone by Christmas? I'll just add: there's a reason I specifically mentioned Minions and Sonic as points of comparison. I'm not sure that's our next $200+ title, but it has a decent shot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marketplace is fuckin' starved for anything remotely approaching mass appeal. How long has it been since a decent opener, anyway? Bullet Train at 30m, maybe? Otherwise it's Nope at 44m and L&T at 144m. Been a looooong dry spell at the box office. More to the point, maybe I'm drinking the Kool-Aid when it comes to @The Eric King's Quorum tracking, but that's currently pointing to a decent shot at a 70m opener for BA, depending on just how solid the DC/Marvel comp system is. Still a long way out on that tracking, and I presume it's still in the refinement stage for Eric, but I dunno. Early signs are good for it, maybe?

Batman+TSS? Well, yeah, I mentioned it for a reason. But even the other ones are giving a 50 to 60 percent shot at a 70m opener, which is why I phrased it as a "decent shot" in my post. I reckon that a 50%-60% chance according to GA metrics + the much better DC/Marvel ones gives it a reasonable chance at it. And, as you well know, I have every reason in the world to look for evidence for it to miss 70m. (though, honestly, prob gonna track it regardless) Edited September 20, 2022 by Porthos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
