Cruella I agree. Don't see it being a huge hit.

F9 I actually do see it being quite a hit and probably the biggest since GvK due to the last few crossing over a billion. Under normal circumstances, it wouldve most likely crossed a billion but now, I predict it'll make between 500-550 mil. Do I care at all for a film like that? No. But you are right, people still tend to see these stuff.

Top Gun may do decent but yeah I don't see it being that huge do the circumstances. Pre or post covid, it wouldve done quite well but now, not really.

Black Widow I see being a hit. It'll probably cross between 550-600 mil.

Suicide Squad I see doing fine to pretty good. Probably 450-500.

Venom 2 I honestly have no clue. Probably 350-400 mil depending on the circumstances.

Dune I think will do pretty decent. Probably 500-550 mil

No Time to Die I think will be a hit but it won't make as much as it wouldve under normal circumstances. I would say 600-650 if Covid is more contained than it is now. If GvK manages to cross 450, I remain optimistic NTTD will cross 700mil

Eternals I see doing well

Mission Impossible will do good and probably the same as No Time to Die.

Spiderman 3 I definitely see being a hit.

I agree with you about F9. What I was saying above is that it's going to be like F8, F7, etc.-- a terrible film that should flop but for some reason it has a fanbase so it will make money.

Oh sorry I didn't understand your wording. Yes I completely agree. I don't understand the hype surrounding that franchise anymore and it's crazy how it makes so much money when there are other fantastic action franchises that don't make as much such as Bond and Mission Impossible. I'm really hoping No Time to Die & MI:7 make more than F9.
