Shoot, I'm sure it was listed for 2019 originally!

It was but it seems they've decided to reshoot half of it and reboot the flailing dceu...hello new bats and supes...etc
it's gonna have to make a fktonne to break even

[wjb]

Is it too late to swap WW1984 then?

[Halb]

Tough choice, honest mistake though. Maybe delete it from your list and so then the replacement has to go in at the bottom, ladder style? If others agree.

I've got no issue with that

[ukaskew]

Yeah go for it, I myself only scraped in with a change minutes before midnight!

[wjb]

Done, thanks

[Halb]

I still think JUmanji will be a billion dollar film, but I didn't see it making the list in two weeks, I also see Star Wars 9 not struggling to a billion, but not racing there either.
Aquuaman has made it to $751,775,000 in two weeks (yeah it was out in China + places earlier) so it may be possible, but I reckon this year will be a bigger year with 700 odd at the bottom of the list

[Halb]

Grace has her top ten wildcards out
Personally I don't see any of these breaking the top 15, it's a busy year

I've been keeping an eye on Aquaman, I'm interested in how this DCEU film goes, and 6 days into 2019, it's at $940.7 ($259.7 US).
Last time I looked it was marginally over Venom at 880ish. So, it makes that xmas fight in Dec very interesting.

glass currently sitting pretty with 168

[ukaskew]

A while till anything comes out that may trouble the top 10, I'm guessing Lego Movie 2 will sit comfortably at the top until Captain Marvel arrives as it should have pretty long legs with half term coming up as well.

[Halb]

Yeah, I think I pegged Lego2 at 400ish, pretty good, it'll stay there for half the year. I reckon How to train your dragon 3 will come in at around 600ish, and will be top ten for most of the year. It's already out in many countries, not UK, USA, Japan or CHina and got 84 million.
I really enjoyed the first two, and after watching Shrek4 and Megamind today, I started thinking about my fave PC animated films, and at least one HTTYD would be in there.
It was at 12 or something on my top 20 picks

Wildcard alert!

The Wandering Earth just took $298m in its first 6 days of release. Particularly crazy when you consider the #2 at the Chinese box office took $230m in the same period.

The massive shift in global box office is well underway.

[Halb]

wow...interesting, a quick look shows this.

2017 @ 7 Wolf Warrior 2 took $870.3 ($2.7 only in the US)
2018 @13 Operation Red Sea took $582.9
2018 @14 Detective Chinatown 2 took $579.2
2016 The Mermaid (Mei ren yu) $553.8

WOlf Warrior was the last one in the top ten and I reckon you'll need to be 700 min for this year for the top ten.

Interestingly, Lego 2 was mean to take 55ish on it's weekend, it took, 35ish. Not gonna be awesome for that movie

As an aside wolf warrior was a fun flick - didn't realise the numbers behind it though

[Halb]

Well one of my picks is out this week;
Captain Marvel 800ish
It started out as a crazy 140-180, some are having it as more 80 now. This has really piqued my interest now. I hope the slump isn't real and stuff up my predictions!

[Halb]

$455 in a weekend...did I underestimate CM?

like a rogue planetary body disrupting my solar system, it comes crashing through like SPace 1999.
I did tag my lowest pick at 700-800...so we'll see
