[UPDATED Avatar Bet] I don't believe The Lion King will make any more than $1.3 billion

Yep, and it was a pretty good retelling of it.
Unfortunately, no one is nostalgic for Pete's Dragon.
Joke vote for Detective PIkachu.
But, ah, I learned my lesson. I'm not betting on this shit again. The market is confusing as hell.
Edit: Oof, didn't know Pete's Dragon made even less than the Dalmatians adaptations. Wow.

Kind of takes the fun out of these type of threads.
Alright, we'll do ballsy.
Less than $1.3 billion.
They did!
And it's the best of any of the remakes. High bar, i know
Yeah, I got no stake in this, but it has plenty of chances in a way it being a good or bad film won't really hinder either way

I mean you got B&B at 1.26b.
If this film has more bite than the bark (roar?) people claim, than it's a reasonable bet.

I think it'll probably make that. 1.3 that is. Don't wanna do an avatar bet as I'm not too confident about it. I think it'll end around that number give or take a hundred mil.
Not bothering with an avatar bet again after seeing what horribly obnoxious winners y'all are on here.
Which still wouldn't total a billion. What ever happened to that poster?
Long range tracking had it at $180-$230m domestic.

Lol, forget it. Keep it to 1.5 billy. I'm still winning. When it released, TLK was the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time. Aladdin's original released grossed 500 mil, and the remake almost 1b. TLK gross almost 1b in its first outing. Simple comparison shows TLK doing almost 2b (doubt it, but still). Also, do a google trend comparison of TLK versus Aladdin or Beauty. The disparity is HILARIOUS.

Ok there we go!
lol how, what's your dom/os breakdown? A billion is locked.
The original movie, in 1994, made over 950 million. Even with just inflation growth, that's over 1.5 billion today. It would have to both fail to draw new viewers and turn away existing fans to do under 1 billion.
This has gotta be the safest Avatar bet ever. TLK is getting savaged on reviews and impressions. It'd only be interesting if you set it to a realistic number like 1 billion.
I remember when people speculated TLK was going to be the only movie that could potentially dethrone Avatar. Oh, how the times have changed.
8 brave souls... What about the horrible looking trailers inspires such confidence? Beauty and the Beast never looked so bad.
It's a dead next two months for family films and parents gotta take their kids to something.
My mom, who hasn't been to a movie in more than 3 years, asked if she could go with me and the kids to see The Lion King.
It's more popular than Beauty and the Beast, so I'd expect it to do better.
You should have bet for it.
Everyone is going to see it. This is like betting against the Wii, everyone from the elderly to small kids want some Lion King.

It's right there in the OP.
It's nearing $1 Billion (still in theaters).
Beauty & the Beast did $1.26 Billion. I'd expect The Lion King to do better.
