2020 is not a slam dunk year for Disney as it was past few years. There is a uncertainty and a few surprises could get another studio on top.

Here is the domestic studios as of February 2nd 2020

Domestic Total as of Feb 02 2020
Rank Distributor Movies 2020 Gross
1 Sony Pictures 8 $255,089,040
2 Universal 6 $187,626,730
3 Walt Disney 3 $77,824,816
4 20th Century Fox 3 $38,630,755
5 Warner Bros. 5 $32,734,414
6 Lionsgate 3 $32,001,440
7 Paramount Pictures 3 $24,317,034
8 STX Entertainment 5 $20,319,915
9 A24 3 $11,905,909
10 Neon 3 $9,670,031

Initially I wanted to do Worldwide as well but TN doesn't have those charts and BOM is well......

Disney will still win it but by a much smaller margin.

WB should be closest and has a shot at winning followed by Universal.

Paramount should have their best year in a while.

Disney will win. Mulan, Widow, Eternals, the Pixar films are all potential 200m+ grossers. The other studios hardly films that will hit that #.

If everything went right for WB with major breakouts from Tenet, Scoob, The Witches and Dune then sure. It’s probably just gonna be Disney again though.

^ You forgot Tom and Jerry

You should add a poll...

Obviously not true but I feel like Disney is the only film releasing $250m+ earners. A slow year for them is like 3 Paramount years combined.

Good idea. Added

I see 5 studios hitting the $1b mark:

1) $2.8b Disney (including Fox)
2) $2.3b WB (including New Line)
3) $1.4b Universal (including Focus)
4) $1,4b Paramount
5) $1.3b Sony

I don't see WB getting close to Disney+20th Century.

1) $2.4b Disney (including Fox)
2) $1.7b WB (including New Line)
3) $1.4b Universal (including Focus)
4) $1.1b Paramount
5) $1.1b Sony

Disney got this still.

WB will come close IF Tenet,WW84, GvKong & Dune ALL OVER PERFORM!

Things have become interesting for this race IMO.

Jack not dudes where you got this but when you get a chance can you post the last East rankings and grosses? Thanks.

I went ahead and merged the grosses of 20th Century Studios and 20th Century Fox. Are they really different?

Disney may not win this year. Wow.

Well this just became a real shit show. Most studios are going to have to make up some serious ground later in the year if there is going to be any sort of winner. I mean would have ever thought that Sony and Paramount would be responsible for two of the biggest hits of the first half of the year with Bad Boys for Life and Sonic?

If WW84 comes out, that's it. WB will win.

This lockdown thing will not last till WW84 comes out. It's to slow the spread to make it manageable for hospitals, the spread is inevitable and not why we're under lockdown.

I expect the lockdown will last about 3 weeks in most areas as long as people practice this social distancing thing. Trolls World Tour probably will make its date.

Zwack... NY schools are closed through April. This isn't going away soon.

What's your point? The Coronavirus is going to be around awhile, but they aren't going to have forced lockdown for more than a few weeks as long as the amount of infections slows significantly during that time.

Uneducated people shairng their wrong thoughts and stating them as facts.

Thays why Italy is in such meltdown mode.

The fall may be the most lucrative of the year. Could we see Sept/Oct beat May/June?

So many unknowns. It took China and South Korea roughly two months to get over the hump. It may take a bit longer for the West. We are then looking at May/June. Wonder Woman and Tenet might say ‘screw it’ and push their release dates. Surreal.

Can you imagine all this happened last year with Avengers Endgame looming? Yikes!

At least 2020 now has a great excuse for being a down year...
