No telling how much this will make both domestically and internationally.
Looking at all the studios slates this year the only question is who will end the year at #1...Universal or Warner Bros?
Isn't it, technically, a 2019's movie?
shareSure...but it's main box-office run will be in 2020.
shareIt had a limited US opening on Christmas, so it qualifies for current awards.
Rise of Skywalker will be included in both 2019 and 2020 totals, but overall only the final gross will be used.
Yeah, it hap'ens to a lot of movies that come out at the end of the year. Some studios do it on pirpose to be as close as possible from the Oscar ceremony, and still qualify for the ending year.
shareThis is a movie that deserves to make good box office
share Universal
Dr Doolittle - Will bomb, although might do well internationally, a bit like Alice did for Johnny Depp. It's the transformers effect. about 400m total.
Fast and Furious 9 - a billion
Minions - These usually make a billion
Bill & Ted - Seems like a couple of decades too late for this. But Keanu Reaves is on fire. Really depends on how good it is. anywhere between 300m and 1 billion.
WB
Birds of Prey - Not sure, depends if it's good or not. Could go either way. R-rating probably limits it's potential to 700-800m range.
Wonder Woman 1984 - A billion
The Conjuring 3 - 300m
The Witches - did a Raold Dahl movie ever make bank? I can't think of one.
Godzilla vs Kong - Skull Island was more well received than its Box Office would suggest. The novelty might elevate this above the Box Office of and of the Kong or Godzilla movies, but it really depends on whether it is any good or not.
Dune - Not sure about this. Have to wait for the first trailer. Don't see any reason to think it will be a hit at this point.
Disney
Mulan - a billion probably
The New mutants - eh...300m?
Black Widow - a billion probably
Artemis Fowl - This movie seems to have had problems, and the trailer looked goofy and weird. I think it will be one of Disney's misses(which means about 500m)
Jungle Cruise - This looks terrible, but so do most Dwayne Johnson movies. 500m is the floor. Could make a billion, who knows.
The Eternals - a billion probably
Did I miss anything? I'm not sure about the Christmas slate. Looks weak. It looks like Universal has 2-3 potential billion dollar films. WB has 1-2. Disney has 2-3. It think Maverick could top the year.
