Possibility of being a $1B movie

yeah i kinda feel the same about WW.. it seems like it's bad planning to go up against GoTG 2 and the tag team sony/disney spider-man and it isn't just spider-man.. it's got Iron Man in it too.

i hope WW makes back the money it needs before Iron Man puts a fork in it

Yes, I'm guessing $400M domestic, $1.1B worldwide. It will be a fun movie, and tough to bet against the MCU with their winning streak.

EDIT: After that awesome trailer I'm betting at least $1.2B. Baby Groot, a great space sci-fi superhero comedy, integral to the MCU, it can't miss.




My life has major plot holes.

I will be seriously surprised if this makes less than $1B, it markets to such a wide audience, and with a character like Baby Groot, it's bound to get more attention from younger children pulling their parents to the cinema. Then you have Chris Pratt, who, as you said, has rocketed to full stardom, or should I say 'Starlordom'?  Not to mention his new film with Jen Lawrence will only propel his fame even higher, so he'll definitely be a big ticket seller when this comes out.

I don't think Alien will be much competition for it at all.
As for Pirates, maybe it's just me, but that franchise has only gotten weaker and weaker, and even Johnny Depp isn't as loved anymore due to his many flops since the last Pirates film, so I don't see that being too huge either, although it is a franchise film, so I could end up way off, I just know I won't be bothering to buy a ticket.

The Tom Cruise Mummy film looks like trash, but again, that's just my opinion, we'll have to wait and see on the general consensus.

People will be hesitant about Wonder Woman, due to the sheer disappointment of the last few DC ventures, but if it starts off with a good critical reception, I think it will be a late earner. Plus, it's the first real female superhero led film, that's a huge sell, especially to all the PC folk and the whacko feminists. 

I predict that Spiderman won't have even a slight problem against Planet Of The Apes, sure, that will make plenty of money, but Spiderman will be absolutely huge, one of the biggest earners of the year, I predict.

I agree about Thor's opening, up against Justice League certainly isn't ideal, so we can definitely expect plenty of Marvel VS DC trash talk happening around that time. A big part of Justice League's reception will be based on whether WonderWoman is a hit, because if not, JL will surely lose some numbers.
The funny thing is that Thor will have the Hulk in it, and that will be more of a selling point than Thor himself. 

Its a Marvel movie of course

If you haven't heard, they are also making a Dark Tower movie(starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey). If you are unaware, it's based on what is considered by many to be Stephen King's best and most popular book series. Also surprisingly enough, they recently pushed back its release date from February to July 2017 i.e. from a time of little to no competition to one where they go up against several tried and true franchises(which imho shows some major confidence in what they've made). In other words, I think it's got a lot going for it to become a surprise hit despite said competition.

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see

Now that the general public know them, and seeing how the first one was loved... no doubt about it !

I doubt it,

I see it only making 900m world wide, which is still good of course.

Everyone thought Dr strange would make 800m and that just scrapped over 600m. People's expectations are way too high these days. Plus I feel there are way too many superhero movies saturating the market, too much choice and most people normally focus on a few to watch.

Its definitely appealing to a larger audience now that they have established themselves.
My wife for example has no interest in any MCU or DCEU movies but she already wants a baby Groot.
