I talked about this previously.
I don't think the film was iconic enough for a remake.
Yes I mean just Disney Live Action. No Lucas, Marvel, Pixar, or WDA. If you exclude Live Action remakes and Pirates, they suck a lot. Just this year you had Nutcracker and and Wrinkle in Time bombing spectacularly.
MP will make bank, but Artemis Fowl, whatever that is, will probably bomb.
I hope its as amazing as The Perfect Guy
Black thrillers are some of the best so bad it's good movies
Pretty sure Spider-Man is still under Sony.
Also adding Charlie's Angels for Nov because why not.
It's biggest claim to fame is Team Silent taking inspiration from it the Silent Hill games.
Are you guys from the future?
Cause I remember similar posts regarding the absurd notion of Solo failing at the box office.
To be clear: I am NOT saying Episode 9 will do Solo numbers BUT the idea of it being a return to massive TFA box office...eh. I think somewhere around R1-TLJ is reasonable.
How could you forget glass?
The best non marvel super hero series with unbreakable and split
Glass is produced by Buena Vista (Disney) and distributed by Disney internationally.
Wow......i never even knew that
How much money is Disney making
Jesus........so many movies are under their banner
It will make around 1,4 - 1,5 bil I think, a little bit higher than TLJ.
I read somewhere that LF is going to sell IX as "the final chapter in the skywalker saga".
People will call it a failure and that the franchise is doomed tho.
I guess...some people tried saying cause it didn't beat AVATAR, SW7 underperformed.
Solo was a gotdamn failure.
1.5 billion isn't.
That is 100% correct.
(Not talking about quality though, that is subjective)
Disney should just replicate the China Venom ads but with Kylo Ren.
I kinda already saw Solo falling on its face though. That movie had a lot going against it from a logistical perspective.
But to be fair, I did not see it falling as far into oblivion as it did.
I think we're on the same boat as that one.
TFA is a "you had to be there" moment that's incredibly hard to replicate for subsequent sequels especially with a moderately quick turnaround.
Don't forget Wicked in December.
Don't forget Wicked in December.
For real. I don't think 2019's numbers will be topped any time soon.

True, I forgot that the Jungle Book made almost a billion dollars. If that IP can get that close than the sky the limit for The Lion King.
I sincerely believe that lion king has an outside shot of being the highest grossing film of all time
Wicked got bumped to 2020.
Beloved Broadway sensation Cats with Idris Elba and Taylor Swift is opening in its place.

* It might not, but it looks adorable

*** Nostalgia, leave me alone
Key observations:
- Disney + Fox is going to murder the box office in 2019
- Warner and Universal are going to remain pretty competitive for the #2 studio spot.
- Sony's pretty meh to be honest
- I have no faith in Lionsgate's portfolio, but I added a lot of movies so there weren't just two names there. They could out earn Paramount though, which equally has a poor lineup
I'm going to say way to early domestic haul estimates:
Disney/Fox: $4.8bn
Warner: $1.6bn
Universal: $1.4bn
Sony: $1.0bn

Paramount/Lionsgate: $500mm

I think you're way over-predicting Universal, I don't see how they get $1.4B on that lineup. HTTYD3 isn't going to be very big in the US, and the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff is going to be well below the mainline films, SLOP2 looks like their only guaranteed $300m+ grosser. They're not gonna compete with WB for the #2 spot.
Sony should get well over a billion, Far From Home and Jumanji is at least $600m, if not $700m, there's a new Tarantino movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio (100-200m right there). Angry Birds is probably safe for $100m just like the first one, the MiB and Charlie's Angels reboots are the big question marks
I don't see how that film is going to work. The play has barely any plot. Divorced from the whole spectacle of the stage isn't it just going to be weird and stupid?
Let's not neglect the real big boy. Ahem.
Blumhouse
January: Glass
February: Happy Death Day 2U
March: Us (Jordan Peele's next film after Get Out)
September: The Hunt
Sony can honestly do 1.5B–2B, FFH/Jumanji are a big one two punch, and they have a decent backlog of smaller earners and potential hits.
Escape Plan
A Dog's Way Home
Miss Bala
Greyhound
The Intruder
Men In Black
BrightBurn
Grudge
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Angry Birds 2
Zombieland 2
Once upon a time in Hollywood
Charlie's Angels
Jumanji 2
Masters of the Universe
You Are My Friend
Little Women

Hmm. So, I acknowledge I'm probably a little more bullish on Universal than I should be, but I think between HTTYD3, Hobbs and Shaw, SLoP2 and Abominable is almost $1 billion domestic right there.
- HTTYD2 made $177mm
- SLoP made $368mm
- Fate of the Furious made $226mm (let's give it a discount and say $200mm)
- For Abominable, I'm assuming a Dreamworks title can bring in $150mm
Downton Abbey and Cats are going to be big, IMO. And as Sweeney Swift mentioned, I included only one of the Blumhouse productions, the Seth Rogen comedy, etc.
I think there's a lot of upside to the studio's line-up.
As for Sony, eh. We'll see. Jumanji is December so full run won't count entirely to 2019.
Done.
Weird and stupid can make money though. For example, Venom is making bank.
I'll probably end up seeing 3 of those 4 movies in theater.
Glass looks awful. The dialogue is wretched and the scenario looks predictable and simplistic (in a bad way). Split worked because it was camp schlock with an incredible lead; Unbreakable was a slow burn-character study-drama-arthouse film in comparison. Bringing the two together could work, but what we're getting looks to Unbreakables' characters adapted to a tone and production that can't capture any of what made the original work.
We'll see though.

Your opinion is so wildly off the mark I'm genuinely concerned for you.
Jenni Miller 'The Green Book' is a movie about racism, made by white people for white people. See the problem?

Hey man, you do you. Split was enjoyable but still worlds away from the peak. Glass has a lot to prove if it wants to do justice to the best film of his career.
