I'll do it closer to April. And it'll be domestic only.
Rude to Vin Diesel.
I wonder how the highest grossing comic films of 2020 will shake out? I think Eternals, Wonder Woman and Venom 2 in that order. After that, idk.
Yeah I just don't see too much hype for Black Widow
It'll still outgross Morbious, New Mutants, and Bloodshot
Meh I dunno.
I doubted Captain Marvel and was handily proven wrong though.
It was actually about 3 years in. So starting with HS Peter makes sense.
Pete also aged in real time for the first few years.
I'm going to say Wonder Woman 2, Eternals, Black Widow, Venom 2. Venom 2 may move up once we see footage.
Disney are going to spend $11 marketing New Mutants and not a penny more.
Everyone on Era seems to be sleeping on Black Widow. It is coming off a long drought of MCU stuff, starring a very popular character that many people outside of here have wanted in a solo movie for years, and is opening the summer season. It is going to do extremely well.
This is correct.
And Disney is going to market it heavily unless they think Artemis Fowl is gonna be their big blockbuster on summer 2020 :v
The aftermath will be discussions about how and if they will follow the success with a Florence Pugh followup? If she takes the mantle in the film
It's feels like an Ant Man level movie I have no desire to watch. Black Widow wasn't interesting in the first place and has also died, not going to pay money or waste time on this, just get the cliff notes of anything notable (if at all) before the big MCU movies.
Christ
Eternals feels like a huge question mark. We haven''t seen anything from it at all nor really have a frame of reference for it within the current MCU. If it really fires the imagination then it could certainly break out into the upper echelons of the MCU. I'm more anxious for the trailer to The Eternals than I've been for anything else in the MCU in a long timee.
Black Widow looks bog standard MCU. Which will almost certainly be good for $800m-$1bn of course.

I haven't been to a movie theater since July to see that awful Spider-Man movie, but tonight after work I broke that streak to see Underwater. It was everything I was hoping it would be, and I'll definitely be adding it to my collection.
You do you, but a ton of really great movies came out in the last 6 months.
Maybe, but also I've wanted to see New Mutants ever since the first trailer came out. The idea just seems neat.
And I was interested in seeing some of them, but ended up not going for one reason or another. Scheduling conflicts, waning enthusiasm, poor reviews, repellent Era discourse, etc. Studying the list of movies with wide releases in 2019, it looks like there were about... twenty movies I felt a modicum of interest in seeing in theaters; of those twenty, I ended up attending five. And actually enjoyed two. 2019 might have been the worst year for movie attendance by me in a decade.
In getting me to fork over money for a ticket, Underwater did something no movie has done since July 2019. Not Joker, not Frozen 2, not Rise of Skywalker, not 1917. So, it gets a bit of recognition however meaningless.
Eternals and Wonder Woman will likely break a billy each.
Open up the Box Office Predictions 2020 thread so I can lose on it again.
Next time I won't make a blunder like putting Defective Pikachu on it.

But I sorta wanna put Scoob for this years list.
Don't do it. I know Scoob's animation is charming and all, but I feel like audiences are going to be turned off once they learn that it's not an origin story/extra-long Scooby Doo episode combo but instead WB pulling the same shit they did with the DCEU and jumping right to the big crossover without doing the proper solo films first.
I'm very curious to see how people feel about the Scooby movie's bait-and-switch. Because, yeah, it isn't REALLY a Scooby movie.
Are we still doing this "solo film first" spiel in the new decade?
And the 4chan leak was proven false with the first trailer.
I'm pretty sure it was the opposite. Trailer pointed to Blue Falcon & Dick Dastardly being major characters, which lines up with the leak.
The leak says Snidely Whiplash is the main villain, but we know that's Dick Dastardly. That's already a big mark.
Uh, the 4chan leak was proven true with the trailer. If you look carefully you'll notice Shaggy and Scooby are never in a scene with the other characters (except at the beginning) and are instead off on their own little thing which confirms the leak that the whole movie is Shaggy and Scooby on some adventure with other Hanna-Barbera characters while the rest of the gang is on a sidequest in a couple scenes.
The rumor source likely confused Dick Dastardly and Snidely Whiplash as they look extremely similar. Everything else in the leak (Shaggy naming Scooby, Cerberus thing, etc.) is spot-on to the trailer.
I'm not believing that at all lmao. There's a worlds difference in them. Fam cobbled up information that was already known and filled in the blanks like always.
Are you really arguing that someone (especially someone not well versed in early TV animation) couldn't confuse these two for each other?
Hell, there's a reason that the TVTropes page for this character archetype is named after both of them...
You don't think someone could confuse these two characters if they weren't familiar with old cartoons?
Also, there was basically nothing known about this movie prior to that trailer dropping other than that younger versions of the characters would be in it and that there would be other Hanna-Barbera characters in it.
I'm supposed to believe that while describing the movie in detail and bringing up key differences that the "leaker" still confused them multiple times?Are you really arguing that someone (especially someone not well versed in early TV animation) couldn't confuse these two for each other?

There's been information leaks from animation cons for a while now. And we already new that WAG was using Scoob as a launching pad before the movie even had a director.

I'm inching closer and closer to thinking Black Widow outgrosses Wonder Woman 84. Not by a lot but I think that it's possible.

I dunno if splitting the scooby gang between 2 groups is a bad idea. Heck, "Let's Split up and search for clues" is literally a running gag in Scooby Doo. Get the whole team back together for an action packed finale and general audiences should like it well enough.
And I don't think you need a whole lot of setup of other characters for a Scooby Doo movie, Ralph 2 didn't have to introduce all the princesses after all. Heck, Ralph 2 mostly wrote out Fix It Felix and Calhoun and still did fine. People had bigger issues with the Internet References become dated quick over keeping the core crew together.
Now I'm imagine what if they capture Dick Dastardly, they took off his disguise and it is Snidely Whiplash.
Also, I read this on the Ralph 2 wiki.
Weird how Ralph couldn't do that whilst the Lego's Game could.

I've seen one twitter post about it and I follow a ton of industry/general movie talk accounts
If anything, that makes me feel better about Bloodshot's chances.

You know what, I actually want to see Underwater now that I know the final boss in the movie is *SpoilerAlert*
