Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
Detective Pikachu 350 Joker 275m It: Chapter 2 270m Godzilla King of the Monsters 200m Shazam! 180m The LEGO Movie 2 175m The Curse of La Llorona 100m Margie Claus/Super Intelligence 90m Annabelle/Conjuring 3 85m Isn’t It Romantic? 85m Shaft 75m The Goldfinch 70m The Kitchen 65m The Good Liar 40m The Sun is Also a Star 25m
Warner Bros. should have a much bigger year than this year. Detective Pikachu should be their biggest film with over 300m as it’s trailer views are insane. Joker has a lot of interest and will make a lot especially if it gets award worthy reviews or if Phoenix gets a lot of nominations. It should be big as well, but the second half of the book is much more divisive and less beloved than the first. Plus the novelty is gone. Godzilla should stay relatively flat with the last one. The trailers have been amazing but the first was badly received and there’s a lot of competition. Shazam! feels like a disappointment to me. Doesn’t look bad but it’s between Captain Marvel and Avengers and it will be tough to stand out. The LEGO Movie 2 should see a big decline after Batman and Ninjago diluted the brand. The Curse of La Llorona looks like a breakout horror film to me. I expect comedies Isn’t it’s Romantic and Super Intelligence will be mid level hits with 65-85m each. Super Intelligence will be helped by its release date and isn’t it romantic has a great trailer. Annabelle/Conjuring 3 will feel a hit from the Nun being badly received and decline below 100m. Shaft looks like it could bomb or maybe be a mid level hit. The Goldfinch looks like a The Girl on the Train level performer to me. The Kitchen will do typical Melissa McCarthy Numbers. The Good Liar and The Sun is also a Star look like small dramas that won’t do much.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
WBs mantra has been to take their mid-level movies to great heights while whiffing on the huge franchise pictures. With that in mind
Overperform:
Detective Pikachu Joker Curse of La Llorona Annabelle 3
Underperform:
Godzilla Shazam Lego Movie
It could go either way since it is supposedly ending at 2.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
IT Chapter 2 being a hit is a given. It should end up close the the first - at least within 5%.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
Pikachu and It Chapter 2 (still wish it had been called 'It Returns') will be their biggest hits by far.
Joker is a wildcard based on how good it is and how people react to Joaquin Phoenix's take on the character.
I want Godzilla to succeed because it looks freaking awesome but I wouldn't be surprised if it drops to under $150m.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
Can someone tell me why if Wonder Woman already is in post Production is coming out in June 2020? Such a bad idea to sit on it, Was Frozen 2 and Episode IX the reasons? Probably would have killed in August this year.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
Reshoots are a given, all blockbusters have them...
The move probably has more to do with being so close to October's Joker and to have it's previous summer slot. It probably would've killed the November slot though.
Jungle Cruise also finished production recently and isn't released until 2020 either. So *shrug*

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
I don't feel IT had a lot of buildups to the second chapter. The kids are not the leads in the new movie. I think the grown-up version might decrease a bit from the first.

It's reasonable that Disney moved Jungle Cruise to stay away from two other Dwayne Johnson starrers (FF and Jumanji). Warner Brothers has a light late-2019 schedule. But it might want to stay away from Star Wars (It did move from December to November) and Frozen. Joker could be a factor too.

Re: Warner Bros. 2019 Predictions
Both Wonder Woman and Bond jumped out of November 2019 and into 2020 - which certainly dropped Nov 19's status from "best ever" to "just OK".
The Joker being so close was probably the reason for the move. 2020 is less congested so i guess it makes sense.

Probably would have killed in August this year. It's probably not that great and needs a lot of rewrites and reshoots. The first one was held together by the perfect casting of Gal Gadot and the freshness of the concept among all the other superhero films (Ancient Greece! World War I! Female empowerment!) but it was pretty mediocre at points. There's a reason Patty Jenkins hadn't worked for a while before that film.
