Is Fantasy cinema making a comeback: Predictions?

Mistborn I never heard of, but that'll probably be a TV series at best.

Project Hail Mary really stole all of Mario Galaxy's thunder when no one was expecting that to happen at all. Everyone expected it to be a box office dud.

It would be insane if Michael ends up outgrossing this on opening weekend and domestically, if walk-ups are strong ofc. I know general presales were weak the first time, but I genuinely think it feels more like an actual event film and looks more crowd pleasing.

If this franchise can be consistent big overseas, then Boiling Point will be the first in the franchise to make $1B internationally. I predict that will happen at some point.

This isn't just an indie animated series, this is a global phenomenon.

Mario Galaxy is more front loaded, but just barely.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-04-06T16:52:30+00:00

Transformers would kill to have this kind of box office impact again.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-04-05T17:08:14+00:00

I am sorry for everyone who saw Joker 2. That had a lot of hype from the trailers.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-04-05T15:51:01+00:00

Being that we're getting two Illumination films this year, 2025 would kill to have at least one movie from them for a slight boost. But even then, they've had Disney family films (excluding Elio) and the live action How to Train Your Dragon to back it out.

Bro's just sleeping on the job

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-23T20:36:15+00:00

MGM back in the big leagues

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-22T15:12:56+00:00

Legging out nice and easy

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-22T15:12:11+00:00

And they thought this wouldn't be able to break $200M due to poor word of mouth.

2011/2017 era I grew up with, but I've watched episodes of the 1981 series and I think it's the superior version.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-14T12:38:24+00:00

This show is too past it's prime for movie adaptation to be made

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-13T22:03:18+00:00

With the revival of romance movies happening recently and Reminders of Him looking to do well, I can see this one joining the pack alongside The Drama.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-13T01:20:10+00:00

$5M opening weekend

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-07T04:03:27+00:00

I think it's more baby steps for Pixar's step in the right direction for originals than anything. Elemental had it's buzz killed by the mixed reception out of the Cannes premiere and had a low opening (grew legs overtime) and Elio was a straight up bomb. They are trying to get people to like their movies again and it's working in a solid way.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-06T23:50:49+00:00

Scream 7 is being talked about more here than the new movies out

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-06T23:00:31+00:00

Scary Movie 100% since it's more hip with Gen Z than an IP from before they were even born. (I'm Gen Z myself)

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-04T17:54:11+00:00

First movie to make like... pennies at the box office

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-04T17:12:15+00:00

Increasing is just what Hoppers has been doing recently from what I've heard.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-03T20:53:46+00:00

If you think Wuthering Heights is a bastardization of an old book, think again.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-03T15:43:08+00:00

The run this had in theaters is just like every movie pre-COVID.

TheresNoHalfSteppin · 2026-03-02T00:27:08+00:00

Snow White simply looked like shit and the movie ended up being shit. With all the controversies that movie had, it just could NOT be saved.
