Will from B2: I think the domestic top 3 could be some combination of Venom, No Time To Die and No Way Home.

A revival of audience for the Matrix sequel could put it up there, too.

Other big movies are:

- Eternals (I just don't see this resonating outside comic book fans)
- Dune (Gonna do well, but nothing amazing)
- Sing 2
- West Side Story
- Encanto (Disney animation, but I don't see it connecting with kids)

I don't see any of those 5 being $200+ million hits.

Responses:

I think Eternals opens to $100+ million. -- nm - David Oct 4, 09:39 12
- We'll get a good read in a few weeks when pre-sales data comes out. I just don't see anyone outside fans of the comic getting excited. -- nm - Inigo Oct 4, 09:42 10
  - It’s the most powerful Marvel comic book characters ever in a film from the person who just won Best Picture. Don’t overthink it. -- nm - David Oct 4, 10:05 5
    - (I kind of don't care about "oscar winning director." also to be honest angelina jolie makes me way less likely to see it in theatres.) -- nm - amanda jeans Oct 4, 11:12
    - A film that made $2 million domestic and was seen by no one on streaming is not gonna help Eternals opening. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 4, 10:24 1
      - I expect Spider-Man to win the year and Eternals to finish second, at least domestically. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 4, 10:53
    - She won Best Director in a year no one cared…and since when does power characters matter to box office? - Will Hunting Oct 4, 10:22 1
      - It's "the next Avengers superhero team" demo and the film Disney has been talking up since the start of the pandemic. - The Allfather Oct 4, 10:52
  - I think high 80s / low 90s (not 100) but david's correct that it's going to be pretty big. it looks accessible to non-marvel fans. - amanda jeans Oct 4, 09:44 1
    - It's certainly possible, but I don't think high 80s or low 90s gets it to top 3 for the year. -- nm - Inigo Oct 4, 10:27
  - I dunno. I know nothing about Eternals and I'm stoked after having seen Shang Chi -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 09:43
  - GOT fans (Robb Stark and Jon Snow!) -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 09:42
- so so stoked for this. A Marvel title I never ever imagined could reach the silver screen (kinda like GOTG). - Jovian Oct 4, 09:41
