If TS4 makes $200+ mil more, then Wander will have a Toy Story logo for a week and will spend his time professing to my genius.
Hey Wander, are you ready to concede yet or should we wait another week or so for it to be official?
Detective Pikachu - $142.6 mil (pretty much done, probably won't even reach $143 mil in total boxoffice)
Toy Story 4 - $306.5 mil (made $34 mil over the weekend)
This is the most boring Summer season ever... the top 5 are done. There's just no way Hobbs and Shaw or anything yet to come is able to catch Aladdin and the other films are all a done deal. Here are the current standings with Lion King coming in 2 weeks (anyone want to bet on whether it fails to top $350 mil?).
1. Avengers: Endgame - $847.8 mil (even subtracting the huge pre-May gross, it is at $420+ mil)
2. Aladdin $320.7 mil
3. Toy Story 4 - $306.5 mil
4. Spidey - $185 mil (opening weekend, it is gonna make well over $300 mil total)
5. John Wick 3 - $165.2 mil
