Thank god for James Cameron for making them so much money from way of water
Haha for sure. That made like $500 million in profit, although Cameron took ~$100 million of it.
Thinking about next year...
Elio could do fine. Doesn't look like a billion dollar movie but should do better than Elemental.
Snow White is too hard to predict. Nothing has been released except the cast but as long as it's well made, I expect it to do around Cinderella numbers. Could make a profit if it's not too expensive.
Inside Out 2 probably will be another mid movie. First was liked and made a good amount of money but no one really cares about it as a brand. I expect it to do worse than the first, unlike Finding Dory which did a lot better than Finding Nemo.
Deadpool 3 is going to be a bomb if it releases next year. They're filming it during the writers strike which is supposedly causing issues.
Lion King prequel might make a billion dollars cause the first made way more than a billion dollars. I could also see it flopping and failing to excite audiences again. No middle ground.
Captain America will be a huge flop unless it's an incredible movie. Who wants to go see a captain america movie without captain america? I didn't watch the Disney+ series but that marketed him as Falcon so I think most people will be just as confused as I am.
TLDR: Avatar 3 in 2025 might be their next billion dollar movie :P
