Any early projections for Guardians floating around out there or are we still too far out still?

I'd bet that it wins summer.
Boxoffice.com has it at 160m OW, 400m total.
I highly expect them to raise that as we get closer.

Those threads were lit. It was like multiple threads at over 2k posts wasn't it? That run was insane.

Two excellent (and much maligned) movies.
Chance for 600M?
This year? No. A wrinkle in time in April of 2018? Maybe.

Yes they are, "live action" style... AKA CGI movie. It won't be worthy of sniffing the OG's farts though.
Take that back
Won't bomb WW.

There is no way Wrinkle in Time bombs.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Good start for Power Rangers and fantastic hold for Beauty and the Beast.
Ghost in the Shell next week, hope it does well.

I think it avoids that label even if it drops from the previous films. It won't be Alice 2.

You might be right. 4 didn't go great here but WW picked up the slack. But I dunno

Yeah Pirates already seems to have a lot more interest than say Alice 2 did. It very well may be a big drop for the franchise but it will likely avoid the "bomb" label
I guess it depends on overseas legs and Japan, but probably not.
Add another $80-90M for China and at least $40M for the domestic run to what you currently see. That gives you $510-520M.
This weekend was around $20M overseas outside of China. So somewhere over $30M for the remaining run in those territories. King Kong 2006 made $20M in Japan, and Hollywood films have been on a downward trend since then.
$550M would be my target for now unless Japan is bigger than expected and late legs are really good.
Pirates relative to its no doubt insane budget is the only real opportunity they have. I guess there's an outside chance of Coco pulling a Good Dinosaur. Disney isnt releasing much.
Disney 2019 has a lot of question marks still, but what we do know of is already insane:
Captain Marvel - 3/8/19
Untitled Disney Fairy Tale (Live Action) - 3/29/19
Untitled Disneytoon Movie (2019) - 4/12/19
Untitled Avengers - 5/3/19
Toy Story 4 - 6/21/19
Untitled Indiana Jones (2019) - 7/19/19
Untitled Disney Fairy-Tale #1 (2019) - 11/8/19
Untitled Disney Animation (3-D) - 11/27/19
Untitled Disney Fairy-Tale #2 (2019) [Live Action] - 12/20/19
Episode IX is no doubt in the 2019 lineup as well. My guess for the untitled 11/19 animated film is the Frozen sequel.

I forgot that the budget has ballooned to crazy levels. I guess we will see if the franchise still has some heavyweight pull.
So they would potentially have Toy Story 4, Infinity War 2, Lion King, an Indiana Jones, Episode IX AND Frozen 2 in the same year?
Jesus Christ.
Why won't Disney think of the other studios? They have to eat too.
Disney, have mercy!

I sort of wonder if Through the Looking Glass will have a dampening effect on plans for sequels in the fairytale slate. I think that the novelty of seeing these properties in "live action" is a big part of the draw. Is anyone going to care about a Maleficent sequel five years out?

Rangers got no box office powah.
Wow, Russia really loved the Boss Baby.
Live action family based fantasy is the one genre I could see failing (and has in the past) for Disney.
For the record, the source material is amazing, the cast looks good and I don't think it will...just that its more realistic than Marvel / Star Wars / live action princesses failing.

Jesus. I was expecting a big bump opening weekend compared to the first, but that is pretty big jump.
The question is if GOTG2 will be the first RDJ free Marvel movie to crack $1b. But watch them sneak in a cameo just for shits and giggles.
No damn way Wrinkle in Time bombs unless it is some horrible turd of a film, which with the talent involved, will not be the case. You have a damn good director, a great screenwriter, and working from one of the more beloved children's books ever.
It may not set the box office on fire, but it isn't going to bomb.
Putin told them it was about Trump.
Didn't people say that about The BFG as well? I'm also not quite sure how popular the book is worldwide. Never heard of it here in Germany.

Fair enough. Let's wait to see if there are super creepy CGI giants in this.
I DEFINITELY don't think it will...and hope it doesn't. I just think it's more feasible than Marvel / Star Wars / live action princesses.
Pete's Dragon, BFG, Alice 2, Tomorrowland, etc. all underperformed and are in similar genres.
I mean, I have never heard of the book (outside of an American podcast about it), so I'm not *saying* it will or could or should to badly.
I have seen the trailer twice in front of different films at the theatre and it seemed to get a great reaction from both kids and adults. Probably the biggest laughs.
Illumination has taken their place. Both owned by Universal.
WAG doesnt make nearly enough money to be the new Dreamworks. Illumination took that title.
I'm talking about on the metaphorical pillar of animation giants.

And Illumination as done it while spending considerably less money.
The fore play was definitely better than the climax.
Now that Dreamworks is owned by Universal, Disney and Universal's animation studios are responsible for 24 of the top 25 and 43 of the top 50 highest grossing animated films (domestically).
So was I. Just pointing out that they now have the same parent company and Dreamworks will play 2nd fiddle within that company.
