1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. The first one was a huge success, so this one should do make even more.

2. Spider-Man: Homecoming. Spider-Man back at Marvel? That's a recipe for success.

3. Justice League. It won't make a billion, but it should make around $700 million. Which... will still be disappointing.

4. Thor: Ragnarok. This will probably be the first one to do majorly well.

5. Wonder Woman. I'm iffy on where this one stands but I hope it's good.

6. Logan. Yeah, I'm predicting a $300-400 million WW gross for this one.
 
I swear we just had this exact thread.

But for what it's worth...

1. Logan.
2. Spiderman: Homecoming.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy
4. Thor: Ragnarok.
5. Wonder Woman.
6. Justice League.
 
Gotg will be the best.
Thor will be the worst, it's inconsequential.
People will watch WW because first female lead movie. And Justice League will also be watched by a lot of people because its JL.

Logan and Spiderman will be above Thor but below all the other. Spiderman will be the one responsible for super heroes fatigue if ever thanks to the reboots (Batman can be blamed too)
 
Hopefully Spider-Man, I have waited years for this and so would like to leave the theater feeling like they finally got it right. His parts in Civil War give me hope.

Edit:I would also like Thor to do well and GOTG should do well but let's see if Gunn can keep the momentum.

And I expect JL to be worst based on the Snyder Track record but it could still do well Box Office, SS did.

1. Spider-Man: Homecoming. (The old films made serious bank without MCU, and it has RDJ - guaranteed billion.)
2. GOTG 2
3. JL (don't give a shit what Gaf says, if they have a gloriously fun team-up last act it's hitting a billion with ease ala Jurassic World.)
4. Wonder Woman
5. Thor 3
6. Logan
 
Guardians of the galaxy
Logan
Homecoming
Wonder Woman (I WANT TO BELIEVE)
Thor 3




Justice League( I don't know what to believe for this movie).
 
1. Spidey - It's Spidey with Iron Man, what's not to love? Especially given Civil War's success with both characters in it.

2. Justice League - It's the JL, will easily do great numbers.

3. GOTG2 - From the success the first film had this will no doubt pretty well.

4. Logan - Have a feeling this will be great and do very well.

5. Thor Raganok - Even if it's a great movie it might not do as well as expected after TDW.

6. Wonder Woman - Will be pretty bad I think and won't do overly well.
 
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will not just be the most successful superhero movie of the year by far, it will be in the top-3 of all superhero movies ever.

I've never seen such a positive reaction to a trailer from an audience to a non-superhero movie - in multiple different showings.


The first was a massive hit, the second looks even better in all the best ways, and it'll hit a much more diverse audience than any of the other superhero movies.
 
1.Spiderman homecoming due to it being Spiderman and it having Ironman in it
2.Guardians 2 because of the huge success of the first one and the awesomeness that was that first trailer
3.Thor ragnorok because of hulk also being in it
4.Wonder Woman because as much as the DCEU has sucked so far, I think this may be their best film (which may not actually say much) giving this film more legs than we may think it will get (especially seeing how suicide squad had good legs, but that was more due to the marketing which I admit was pretty good)
5.Justice League because I don't think its going to be good...at all. But it'll probably make BvS money at best. Although if wonder woman does well then this could make more off the momentum of that
6.Logan because of the serious tone its going for, I don't think it'll attract the general audience like the other films will. That being said because it has wolverine in it I think this'll do pretty well.

In terms of quality this is what I predict
Guardians 2 > Spiderman Homecoming > Logan > Thor Ragnorok > Wonder Woman > Justice League
 
1. Spider-Man - Spidey's got immense popularity, and that combined with the mastery of tone Studios has with these characters means Spidey has a legit shot of cracking a billion. Not a huge one, but an actual decent shot of making some ridiculous bank.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - GOTG was a surprise hit, and now that it's an established brand with trailers making it look it like it's more of what people want, it also stands a good chance of cracking IM3-level numbers.

3. Lego Batman - It looks funny enough for kids, filled with enough references for nerds and a decent enough plot to justify get my butt in a seat to see Will Arnett get the role his voice was destined for.

4. Justice League - It has Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash in it. If BvS made nearly $800 million and it was mediocre, to put it lightly, then if this is good, it could very easily make a billion.

5. Thor 3: The Dark World 2: Ragnarok - This one might be the hardest sell of them all, considering how mediocre past Thor movies have been. But, I trust in Taika, so I think this is going to be the critical sleeper hit. It's going to be ridiculous, funny, and action-packed, and I hope Taika blows us all away.

6. Wonder Woman - This one, to me, is the most likely to "flop" as a block-buster. No offense to Gal Gadot, but when your body of work is basically just the Fast and Furious movies and other bit parts in critically-panned movies, I don't see how you can suddenly become phenomenal and really do justice to WW. In my eyes, this movie has to be really good, like 90%+ on RT good, to become a massive hit, because the cast of this movie is fairly unknown outside of their respective franchises and we honestly haven't seen too much of the film's dramatic scenes. Most of the trailers focus on the action and the bits of comedy, but nothing on the actual acting. That's what worries me, and I hope I'm proven wrong, I really do. "Wonder Woman" is a symbol, an icon beaten to the silver screen by Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, and Juggalo stripper Harley Quinn. Female-led blockbusters have not had a good run, with "Ghostbusters" flopping pretty badly, so if "Wonder Woman" is a hit, it can be the "fuck you" needed to show Hollywood that blockbusters can be more diverse and have leads who aren't white, straight, and male.

7. Logan - It's going to be good, but it's not going to be "Deadpool" level good.
 
Assuming this means financially I'd say like this:

1. Spiderman: Homecoming. (assuming that it's not another ASM debacle then it should earn 1 - 1.3 Billion)
2. Justice League. (assuming reviews are not scathing)
3. Guardians of the Galaxy (this should be pretty safe and has a good chance to take the #2 spot))
4. Wonder Woman. (assuming reviews are not scathing this has a shot at $700-800m or so, I think).
5. Thor: Ragnarok.(If this is as bad as the other Thor movies it may be #6)
6. Logan. (I think reviews will be good)
 
Critically or commercially?

Anyway, my guesses:

Commercially:

1. Spider-Man: Homecoming
2. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
3. Justice League
4. LEGO Batman
5. Logan
6. Thor: Ragnarok
7. Wonder Woman

Critically:

1. Logan
2. LEGO Batman
3. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
4. Spider-Man: Homecoming
5. Thor: Ragnarok
6. Wonder Woman
7. Justice League
 
Spider-Man vs Justice League is the real question

SM will be terrific and JL a mess, but they will be neck and neck making tons of cash
 
Critically: Logan, without a doubt. The somber vibe, focused story, and Hugh Jackman striving to send off this character with his best work.

Commercially: Any of the Marvel films, more of the same with crowd draw and unfortunately story beats
 
I swear we just had this exact thread.

But for what it's worth...

1. Logan.
2. Spiderman: Homecoming.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy
4. Thor: Ragnarok.
5. Wonder Woman.
6. Justice League.

You think Logan is going to out do all those films? When most X-Men and Wolverine films usually come out at the bottom of these things? That's bold... (I'm assuming "doing" better is code for making money because OP listed some $$$ predictions too)

If we're ranking this on money (Logan looks good but it's going to need to catch some Deadpool level boost to get it to beat out an MCU title):

1. Spider-Man (most likely will make more than JL, unless JL is good, in which case money is on JL)
2. Guardians
3. Justice League (critically who knows but if BvS can make 875M, JL should get a min of 700M, more if good)
4. Wonder Woman
--Lego Batman?--
5. Thor
....
6. Logan

Critically, MCU movies are a lock to hit 80-85+ on RT, the others are a complete dice roll.

EDIT: I have no idea... I've changed this like 4 times... Spider-Man has had some terrible movies lately but it and JL have the brand power, behind good movies, can push 1B... Guardians, I don't understand how it made that money because I didn't enjoy it, but with that money and a sequel, it should challenge 1B too.
 
I'm assuming you mean money wise, which in that case Spider-man will do the best. He is the most popular marvel character if memory serves.
 
Critically: Logan, without a doubt. The somber vibe, focused story, and Hugh Jackman striving to send off this character with his best work.

Man Logan is gonna be trash. Like, if there was something I could not care about it's the X-Men movies. DCEU > X-Men
 
1. Spider-Man: Homecoming - I'm betting that this is the best film to watch of the super hero movies.

2. Thor: Ragnarok - Come on after 2 movies the third one has to be good!

3. Wonder Woman - I hope this becomes this years Guardians.

4. Guardians of the Galaxy - I'll take the bet and say this one will be mediocre. The first was lightning in a bottle.

5. Logan - I'm going off based on Wolverine 1 and 2 that it will start off good and then the climax will be silly. I really liked the first half of Wolverine then it all fell to shit in the 3rd act. I'm hoping I'm wrong because I was thrilled about the first Wolverine movie when I saw the trailer.

6. Justice League. 43% Rotten Tomatoes score. I'm calling it now.
 
I personally don't see Spider-Man being on top BO-wise. It's the 3rd reboot in 15 years. And the trailer was mehsville.

Wonder Woman will do well since it's an icon, and a woman-fronted superhero movie.

Justice League will suffer some from BvS.

All of them will do well commercially, even Logan and Thor.

But I am terrible at predictions.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Wonder Woman
Justice League
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Logan
Thor: Ragnarok

Critically:

Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Wonder Woman
Logan
Thor: Ragnarok
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Justice League
 
Their best movies are The Wolverine & Deadpool - I think they can do well with a single-character movie.
The Wolverine was good then took a nose dive into hell

I can't count Deadpool as an X-Men movie since it's actually good and doesn't feel like one. It feels like the exact opposite of an X-Men movie
 
Spider-Man and Guardians will easily cross a billion.

Even if Justice League is garbage, it still has a chance of hitting a billion because it's Justice League.

Thor, 700-800 million tops.

Wonder Woman, 600-700 million.

I never knew Logan existed until this thread.
 
im in for

spiderman
thor
guardians

and i want thor to best them all by miles just because Taika Waititi is directing. i really hope Marvel lets him be himself.
 
I think Guardians has a real shot at first place. I'm not convinced with Spider-man, I know the films have consistently made less domestically since the first one. I personally didn't feel the hype but maybe Ironman can pull people in?

JL has name power behind it. I'm not convinced people are turned off by BvS or the DCEU after seeing Squad's stellar performance. I think it's still probable that it will break a billion.

Logan and WW will probably do alright, 400-600m area I'm guessing. I think Thor will make slightly more than that, but not seeing it doing as much as IM or Civil War or maybe even Spider-man.

so I guess

Realistic:
1. Guardians
2. JL
3/4. Spider-man/Thor
5/6. WW/Logan
 
Thor is going to suffer at the hands of Justice League. They are coming out 2 weeks apart. JL will take away screens from Thor and have a run at IMAX until Star Wars comes out.

Spider-Man and Guardians will easily cross a billion.

Even if Justice League is garbage, it still has a chance of hitting a billion because it's Justice League.

Thor, 700-800 million tops.

Wonder Woman, 600-700 million.

I never knew Logan existed until this thread.

Keep in mind, Avengers 2.5 aka Civil War barely crossed that mark at 1.132B... nothing is a lock.

The problem is, and you can see this by looking at merchandising and comic sales, Batman is a bigger deal than Justice League. So I don't see JL making much more than BvS unless Wonder Woman is a big hit.
 
Man Logan is gonna be trash. Like, if there was something I could not care about it's the X-Men movies. DCEU > X-Men

Unfortantly Wolvies track record definitely hasnt been stellar, but I got a gut feeling with this one. And I'm not a fan of the Xmen universe either.

I'm still shocked at how low Civil War's numbers were. Like, it didn't even cross IM3 numbers.

But still Spider-Man is Spider-Man. Guardians is a little iffy, but it could still ride the wave of Chris Pratt in Jurassic World.
 
1. Justice League
2. Spider-Man: Homecoming
3. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
4. Thor 3: Ragnarok
5. Wonder Woman
6. Logan

It doesn't matter if JL is terrible, the marketing department is going to Suicide Squad the shit out of it.

Guardians of the Galaxy out-earned Suicide Squad both domestically and worldwide, despite the fact that it was in fewer theaters and had a much lower opening weekend. Reviews matter, and GotG's sequel will inevitably attract more people too.

GotG was also in theaters for ~66% longer than Suicide Squad.


Basically, people actually wanted to see Guardians of the Galaxy. They were tricked into seeing Suicide Squad. The sequels of each will be affected by those factors, and the reactions to the GotG Vol. 2 trailer are incredible.
