for Tenet, starring BlacKkKlansman’s John David Washington. | July 17ĭirector Christopher Nolan reteams with regular collaborator Warner Bros. Minions, to which Rise of Gru is a direct sequel, earned $336 million domestically and a mind-boggling $823.3 million internationally, making it the fifth-highest worldwide grosser of 2015. Seuss’ The Grinch (2018) and The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) earned domestic totals of $270.6 million and $158.2 million, respectively. Minions: The Rise of Gru Universal | July 3Īnimation stalwart Illumination returns to the big screen in 2020 with Minions: The Rise of Gru, the latest entry in their billion-dollar Despicable Me franchise. If successful, Tom Cruise’s run of hits with Paramount’s Mission: Impossible franchise might have company heading into the new decade. Although we’ve seen IP struggles at other studios (Fox’s Independence Day: Resurgence, Sony’s Charlies Angels, Paramount’s Terminator: Dark Fate), we’re expecting the long-awaited Top Gun sequel to deliver at the box office with a new generation of fans. Paramount is bringing back another iconic 80s film for a new chapter with Top Gun: Maverick. Curiously, the film’s original score will be composed by Nine Inch Nails members (and celebrated film composers) Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Jamie Foxx voices the animated lead, which also co-stars Tina Fey, Questlove, Phylicia Rashad, and Daveed Diggs. Pixar’s second original film of the year is this musically-inspired release set, at least partially, in New York City’s jazz scene. Hopes for 1984, then, are high, especially considering how early glimpses of the film have been burning it up on social media. Despite an opening weekend gross ($103.2 million) that put it solidly in the middle of the DC Extended Universe pack, Wonder Woman‘s strong hold eventually made it the highest-grossing DCEU film to date and the third highest-grossing film of 2017 with $412.5 million.
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot and Chris Pine reunite for Wonder Woman 1984. An increased presence of immersive seating theaters in the United States might also give this title an extra boost in premium ticket sales. While we don’t expect this entry to hit the same peaks earlier episodes reached at the domestic box office, it should still be a solid earner for Universal-particularly overseas. Universal’s surprisingly enduring franchise returns for its ninth chapter, not counting last year’s spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw. Black Widow hits theaters the first weekend in May, which has proven a lucrative release window for eight previous Marvel films, among them the first Avengers.
Joining Johansson are “Stranger Things” star David Harbour, up-and-coming “it girl” Florence Pugh ( Little Women), and Oscar winner Rachel Weisz.
You may have heard that Marvel films make a ton of money, and fans have been waiting on this particular film for a while. Ten years after making her feature film debut in Iron Man 2, Scarlet Johansson’s superhero super-spy Black Widow gets her own solo film.
