It's the Circle of Disney Profits

I doubt it, but $600M+ is def possible.

I'ma little bit confused at Endgames 97% fresh rating. it can't be that good can it?

However, if Lion king is as good or better than the original animated film, i think it has shot.

It has part of the Black Panther type buzz going for it and more. A major budgeted Disney film with an 80-90% African-American cast. In some ways their casting is going even further in that direction with Beyonce and Donald Glover. Adding in nostalgia and a widening of the age range and I think this beats Beauty and the Beast's $504 M as the biggest "reimagining".

Something has to give with everything coming out, but I don't think it'll be Endgame or Lion King. It's conceivable that 2019 will have three of the top ten films of all time (over $620 M) when you add in Episode IX. Hell, last year had three of the top ten including two of the top four.

I think "Endgame", "Toy Story 4", "The Lion King", "Frozen II", and "The Rise of Skywalker" will all break the $500M plane. And I expect they will be the top five films drafted (not in that order, tho).

I forgot about fucking Frozen 2. Forget $65 million, give Bob Iger a blank check to deposit in his 401k.

Endgame will be definitely over $500, but even if it hits $800 M it may not break $500 M in the year-long. The first seven days won't count and if it hits $300 M for 3 days, the first seven could be over $400 M.

Put it this way: If "4vengers" is still available at 10 when my (presumed) first pick rolls around, I'm taking that puppy.
