[Halb]

Looks like I may have underestimated CM, could make 1billion, so I'd be 100mil -ish off.

Totally misjudged Dumbo....bah, originally I thought it was too old, go nowhere, then I did a full 180°, should have done a full 360°.

Yep, Hobbs and Shaw (the only film I had below Dumbo) is going to obliterate it!

[irocfan]

Soooooo looks like I dropped the ball on dumbo (who's the dumbo now?!) - but captain marvel seems to be good....

[Halb]

checked in to see if anyone didn't have avengers 4 as 1...looks like we all got that one.

Can't believe I put dumbo above Marvel

Ok I wasn't quite that bad, but I still have dumbo in 4th

[Halb]

the two marvel films have taken more thus far than the next ten films combined. in the worldwide lists.

Another excellent movie maths video, detailing how the congrats have changed, and how JC might be sending another one...soon

I've chosen three turkeys, that is the uppermost limit of what I'd be happy with on my prognostication skills
Annoyed I flipped Dumbo for Aladdin

I was thinking about this today as the box office this year has been pretty poor, Captain Marvel, Endgame and Aladdin aside. Secret Life of Pets 2 is massively down on the original, Lego Movie 2 didn't perform, MIB International is having a shocker etc etc. Dumbo aside I reckon my top 10 is still looking pretty solid.

I'm thinking Hobbs & Shaw, Toy Story 4 and Lion King are the only guaranteed hits for quite a few months now.

My list wasn't too bad, Detective Pikachu the only real stinker for now

[Halb]

And Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and The Secret Life of Pets 2.

I will boldly claim that all my remaining picks (with the exception of IT) are locks.

I was trying to keep those quiet, and I said real stinker

it's not exactly a stinker looking at some of mine

[ukaskew]

Spider-Man is having an impressive opening (likely to be $400m before the weekend is out) so will be flying up the list shortly. With that sort of opening it could be heading for $1b globally.

[Halb]

THank fk. I set it at 1b, but I wasn't sure on it...not as sure as I was on Toy Story 4...

[irocfan]

Crap - I didn't even have spiderman.

Disney has the top 6 films thus far (MCU Spider-Man is SOny in name and bank account only)
and I have 5 of the current top ten! whoooooo

Disney...-dun-dum-dum-der-der-dum-der-de-dummmmm.

[irocfan]

four of the top 6 and (hopefully!!) some big hitters still to come!

[ukaskew]

2019 has even the experts confused with what's happening with the box office, so I don't mind being way off come years end!

Dumbo aside I'm feeling pretty good about getting 7 or 8 (at least) of the correct films, if not in the right order!
