I think you’ve got the order pretty much right on but maybe a bit high on the grosses. Jumanji and It are both sequels to surprise hits and those have typically struggled, we’ve even seen that this year — I don’t think either will break $300M again, but they’ll still be good money maker. You’re right on with Frozen, I could see it going even higher. Episode 9 will do really well — it will need a lot better word of mouth than TLJ to hit $800M.

As for 5th, I know you’re a DC guy and very optimistic about Joker, $250M would be an amazing gross for it. Not impossible, it would need very good reviews and even Oscar hype to go that high. I could see that spot going to Hobbs & Shaw, which should push in to the $150-$200M, or other potential breakout hits for awards season that we’re not looking at as traditional hype movies.
