kayumanggi Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Summer 2023 has officially begun. Though we still have yet to see how the movies will perform this summer season, let us start the discussion on what movies do you think will dominate 2024. Do you have a lock to win the year? Will AVATAR III make its date and win the year yet again?

YM! Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Going to refrain from the list but do think we’ll see some changes. A handful of films still in production this year or rated but not released will end up going here (Aquaman 2, Ghostbusters 4?, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Coyote vs Acme, Fixed, etc). Avatar 3 is winning the year no contest but number two spot can be interesting. If either Across or Dead Reckoning 1 breaks out to 300m domestic, I think part two for both could take the number two spot. Deadpool and Wolverine is a good choice though I wonder if the MCU fatigue going on will correct itself by the time it opens. I can buy Despicable Me 4 being a nostalgia requel in which Vector returns from the moon with an army and a senior Gru and Lucy, the minions, and his young adult daughters face him off. Inside Out 2 could very well be the big return for Disney/Pixar especially if TLM, Elemental and Wish turn out to be hits. Lots of room for potential breakouts too. Both Elio and IF sound like family film original smash hits. I think KFP4 has a strong chance at 200m domestic if it moves. Cap 4 should do over 200m as well but 250m+ can happen. Gladiator 2, Apes and Furiosa have potential as does Snow White, Mickey7, and Godzilla and Kong. Lion King 2 I think will have a big fall though. Joker 2 is another question is I’m not sure if the musical angle can sell. Thunderbolts and Blade with the strike I think would be better off moving to 2025 or later because those two will need quality to thrive.

Kalo Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Dang. what a weak looking year. Avatar 3 will probably be 1# even if it only does a subpar $450m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Part of me thinks that we could see Sony switching up the slate if necessary to something like this: 2/16 - Harold and the Purple Crayon 3/27 - Ghostbusters 4 5/24, 5/31 or 6/7 - Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse if Across breaks out 7/12 - Madame Web 11/1 or Christmas (doubting Sonic 3 stays for Christmas next year) - Garfield Edited May 4 by YM!

Mickiland16 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 My early prediction domestically is: Over $500M: Avatar 3 (also over $600M) Over $400M: Inside Out 2 Deadpool 3 Over $300M: Mission Impossible 8 Beyond the Spider-Verse Mufasa: The Lion King Despicable Me 4 Over $200M: Joker 2 Snow White Captain America: New World Order Sonic 3 Blade Elio if it or KP4 moves (trusting on good WOM for this one) Over $150M: Kung Fu Panda 4 Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes The Karate Kid Transformers One Thunderbolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scytheavatar Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 There's zero chances of The Karate Kid coming out next year, correct? Zero information on who is writing or directing, let alone being casted for the film. Won't be surprised if it never ever gets released.

I'm expecting one of them to move since both targets a similar or basically the same audience, don't think Disney nor Universal is that arrogant when none of both is really a small movie.

Not sure if Universal will move. That has always been DESPICABLE ME movies' spot. I also don't know where MUFASA should go considering that Disney has already taken hold of the most important dates. Maybe move it to December, but that also means AVATAR III and the STAR WARS movies getting delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Does not seem as strong of a year as 2023, but that being said 2022 didn't seem as strong on paper as I thought it would be, and it ended up having some of the biggest domestic grosses of all time, so who knows?

Cmasterclay Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Hot take - Deadpool III outgrosses either of the next two Avengers movies or any Phase Whatever This Is MCU movie. I think it's much more sellable of a concept outside the fatigue these movies have generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGODanca Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 MY TOP 5 FOR NEXT YEAR 1. AVATAR 3 2. Despicable Me 4 3. JOKER 2 4. MI DR Pt2 5. DEADPOOL 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YM! Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Joker 2 seems like the next Wakanda Forever/The Marvels/Spider-Man 2. I think the musical aspect may be a turnoff for the main demographic at hand and in addition to that, the first hit a zeitgeist in a way that’s hard to replicate. I think upper 200s domestic and 750-800m worldwide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The WGA strike can change dramatically this schedule. Avatar 3 should easily win the year, unless something explodes like crazy. I can see surprises from Twisters (possible return of catastrophe genre?) and If (Krasinski with stellar cast). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's much more sellable of a concept outside the fatigue these movies have generally. Hotter take - Joker 2 is the second-biggest movie of the year, only behind Avatar. It does have an uphill battle with superhero fatigue and the lack of novelty and moral panic hype, but it's also being offset by having one of the biggest movie stars front and center as Harley Quinn, you know Gaga's got some bangers, and I think the musical angle could actually breathe some life to the stagnant genre. As long as it delivers the same goods as the first (well, maybe not "goods", but has the stuff people inexplicably liked in that first movie), we could see something special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Joker will have 2024 most disappointing BO run. Under 200M DOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
