Probably some movie not on the list.

Probably some horrific animated thing with pointless celebrity voice casting, where wisecracking CGI animals dance to a hip hop song.

Every day is a gift, not a given right.
Yeah I doubt Wonder Woman bombs at worse it solid imo.
Godzilla vs Kong has the feel of bomb, And last Godzilla movie gave us hint why ,They are just too expensive to make for just mid level interest. Godzilla was a good movie and it didn't real have the impact they wanted
I think Godzilla vs Kong will do good. The past year was crowded with Disney/Marvel so they really didn't stand a chance, even though King of Monsters was one of the better films that came out imo.
I don't see Mulan doing good as I think people are getting tired of the live action remakes. I have met very few people who have legitimately liked most of the remakes as much as they were hyped up to be. The only remake I actually liked was the Jungle Book, the rest have been sub par at best imo.
Most Pixar films will do good so no argument there.
Wonder Woman will be the biggest winner this year.
Tenet will do good critically and commercially because of word of mouth. Christopher Nolan has my trust on his ability to tell a concrete story, so I'll see it.
Venom 2 will bomb I think. A lot of people didn't like the film and may not be interested in the second one.
Fast and furious will be a hit.
Black widow is a coin flip imo as we don't know how consumers will react to a post Endgame movie slate.
Birds of Prey is another coin flip. I see this movie being a straight hit or miss no in between. It will either be considered one of the best films of the year or one of the worst the plot and screenplay will matter most for this one.

I wonder if any movie on that list will make over 400M domestic. Sequels tend to have a lower box office and I wonder if WW84 will beat the first one. And for some reason the views on the trailer aren't that high for a movie of this caliber. Joker got massive views and it exploded at the box office. Aquaman got a lot too and it made over a billion.
The moviegoing public can be a terribly fickle lot, so there's no way to truly know what film might be a hit, and what might be a bomb. In some ways, this thread could well be an exercise in futility as a movie nobody heard about or saw coming could lap the field and wallop everything, including WW84. We'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

WW84 could be huge if they do it right. People love 80's nostalgia. I doubt we'll see Gal Gadot flouncing around in satin tights (fighting for her rights) and go-go boots, but if they work in some humorous references and easter eggs it could be very popular. This is something the MCU is good at but the DCU has not been, so far. This is their chance to turn it around. But if they do it with a ham fist and a tin ear, they're screwed.
I think Onward will do way better than people think.
I want Eternals, Ghostbusters, and Kong/Godzilla to rock it but I doubt they will. I bet they do decent but not "megahits."
I think BW and WW84 will battle for #1.

I think Eternals is going to be much more successful than most are thinking. Even a messy movie like Captain Marvel cleared a billion. Eternals has two GOT boys and two 90's movie star goddesses, plus more ethnicities than you can shake a stick at. If they deliver the visuals and cosmic space god opera craziness that the comics lay out, it's going to do well. Very well. Maybe even better than BW and almost certainly better than WW.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
Fast and the Furious will do well, China loves it.
I didn't see Fast and Furious on the list first. I guess that answers it all.
