Artemis Fowl: August 9th

Star Wars 9: December 20th

Feel like Dumbo (stuck between Captain Marvel and Avengers), Aladdin (stuck between Avengers and Toy Story), and Artemis Fowl could all under perform at the box office. Even then though $8B would probably be doable considering just Avengers, Frozen 2, and Star Wars might be good for $5B just themselves.
I'd agree with you normally, but most of those films are just a license to print money.

The Generation that saw Aladdin, Dumbo and The Lion King as kids now have their own kids and are going to eat those films alive.

Star Wars is almost always a Home Run regardless of whether the movie is any good or not and I think Captain Marvel and End Game are going to surprise the hell out of people.

Disney is going swimming in their Scrooge McDuckian vault of cash this year.
