It’s BINGO time, AGAIN! Which will be *in order* the 5 highest grossing Hits of 2026 at Global #BoxOffice? I’ll leave my bets in the first comment! Make sure to leave your bets below as well until 11.59pm DEC 31, 2025 so we can all check what we got right in 1 year time. 1/2

Seeing #ProjectHailMary for 2nd time and happy to report that they are showing both #DunePartThree & #SpiderManBrandNewDay teaser trailers attached to it. Incredible experience seeing both, but especially #Dune3 looks INCREDIBLE in IMAX. Visually overwhelming & breathtaking! See yall on the other side!!!

@emilioGarc58672 #SUPERGIRL comes out literally 5 weekends before #SpiderManBrandNewDay comes out. It’ll be almost in the end of its theatrical window. They will barely compete in the slightest. So no, DC does not intend to compete against this with #SUPERGIRL, Don’t you worry! You guys…

@Luiz_Fernando_J And DC intends to compete against this with Supergirl, a character nobody cares about and whose trailer came and went without much fanfare.

The funniest part is that FilmTwitter, as always 🙄, has tried to play the revisionist card with #SpiderManNoWayHome recently, constantly trying to diminish or even deny its mark and long lasting impact altogether. Even ignoring it’s literally the last A+ #CinemaScore a CBM got, and the fact that only #AvatarTheWayOfWater managed to be a bigger phenomenon post-Covid. Well, this level of anticipation is only possible when the previous entry achieved the unachievable level of praise and long last impact in who watched it, let alone after 5 years since the previous entry. Some People tried to reduce #NoWayHome to nothing more than a cameo fest or nostalgia grabber like it wasn’t a incredibly well crafted and deeply emotional cinematic experience, but #NoWayHome was much more and much bigger than cameo or nostalgia play. It did used those elements, and did well, something no other franchise has managed to replicate in the same level. But it represents much more than that to many people. FilmTwitter can try and deny it all they want, but #NoWayHome was indeed a special cinematic experience, far from the average one would think it was when reading FilmTwitter’s hot takes about it. But elitism against anything that becomes that popular will always be in play.

#SpiderMan just operates in a whole other level! We got Global numbers for #SpiderManBrandNewDay trailer debut: ASTONISHING 718.6M views across all platforms in 24h!!! An ALL TIME RECORD (see Top10 below), almost doubled #DeadpoolAndWolverine’s 365M trailer debut, and without #SuperBowl boost! Top10 24h debuts for films: #SpiderManBrandNewDay 718.6M #DeadpoolAndWolverine 365M #SpiderManNoWayHome 355.5M #Endgame teaser trailer 289M #Endgame first trailer 268M #Superman 250M #TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts 238M #InfinityWar teaser trailer 230M #TheLionKing 224.6M #TheDevilWearsPrada2 222M What does it show? That there is a level of interest never before witnessed, and massive potential for money at the #BoxOffice here! As we always remind folks, although trailer views not necessarily translate in tickets sold, they show the level of interest. Marketing just needs to be smart and conduct promo to keep interest high and get those butts in seats, a easy task when it comes to SpiderMan!

The ladies keep showing up for #ColleenHoover during SPRING BREAK at US #BoxOffice, as #Universal new book adaptation #RemindersOfHim added another strong 1.7M on WED, just a -29.2% drop from TUE Discount Day (vs #RegrettingYou’s 1.3M, -30.7%, #TheLostCity’s 2M, -38.7%) The romance, with a cheap 25M production price tag, hits a 23.8M cume in the U.S. alone in just 6 days.

Meanwhile at US #BoxOffice, exhibitors are ALL IN for sci-fi #ProjectHailMary , giving #AmazonMGM their widest release since their inception, with 4.007 theatres booked to play the film starring #RyanGosling this weekend, on par with #Creed3, which also opened over 4.007 theatres back in 2023 and went on to a 58.4M 3-day opening weekend in the U.S, currently the biggest for both Amazon & MGM Post-Covid, over even #NoTimeToDie’s 55.2M debut back in OCT 2021. Industry is optimistic that Hail Mary will beat #MichaelBJordan’s record for both #Amazon & #MGM Post-Covid, with projections seeing a 60M-65M 3-day opening weekend for the sci-fi.

@ncbm91420 SPRING BREAK usually boosts only weekdays, since families and kids are free on weekends anyway, so although you can expect a strong hold as WOM is stellar, don’t expect for boosts during the weekend.

@Luiz_Fernando_J can it match last weekend numbers ?

#Pixar’s new original #HOPPERS living the SPRING Break dream, about to cross 100M+ TONIGHT at US #BoxOffice, after another SPECTACULAR 3.7M on BIGGEST 2nd WED for a original animation in over a decade, actually up +27.6% (!!!) from last WED with positive WOM (vs #Elemental’s 2.9M, -19.7%, #Coco’s 1.6M, -21.1%, #TheWildRobot’s 1.3M, -29.7%). #HOPPERS  hits a 99.5M cume in the US. Eyeing a 180M-220M run in the U.S, depending on how #Mario affects it in APR.

In #China’s #BoxOffice, after local #SpringFestival releases holding the #1 since #ChineseNewYear, Hollywood is ready for a comeback with #Pixar animation #HOPPERS & sci-fi #ProjectHailMary fighting for the #1 On final pre-sales day #HOPPERS finished with strong $1.3M total (vs #Elio’s $279k, #TheRiseOfGru $1.1M, #TheSuperMarioBrosMovie’s $1.7M) for the MAR 20-22 period ahead of its FRI debut over 92k screenings. Meanwhile the sci-fi starring #RyanGosling finished its pre-sales period with a $1.2M total (vs #Barbie’s $800k, #Matrix4 $732k, #KingdomOfThePlanetOfTheApes’ $1M, #WakandaForever’s 1.1M, #TheBatman’s $1.8M) for the same MAR 20-22 period, despite a limited release over just 24k screenings. Pre-sales breakdown: #HOPPERS $695k MAR 20 FRI Opening Day $470k MAR 21 SAT $114k MAR 22 SUN #ProjectHailMary $495k MAR 20 FRI Opening Day $510k MAR 21 SAT $174k MAR 22 SUN #HOPPERS could be dreaming of a 10M-15M 3-day opening weekend, what would beat #InsideOut2 as the biggest debut for a #Pixar film Post-Covid. #ProjectHailMary in a normal world would be aiming for the same, but limited number of screenings should keep it in the single digits, with a 6M-9M 3-day opening in the cards, what would be above #SUPERMAN & #TheFantasticFourFirstSteps’ debuts last year, and potentially on par with #Barbie, which also opened in limited screenings back in 2023.

In #Korea’s #BoxOffice, after debuting with $590k on #2 place on WED, new sci-fi #ProjectHailMary , received with overwhelming positive WOM, saw strong hold on 2nd Day, grossing $410k on THU, just a -30.5% drop from Opening Day (vs #Dune’s 285k, -36.7%), for a $1M 2-day cume, attracting 131K moviegoers to theatres in 2 days. #ProjectHailMary’s WOM remains strongly positive, audience’s score on CGV now with a 9.7🥚#GoldenEgg, equivalent to an A+ #CinemaScore (vs #Dune’s 9.3, #TheMartian’s 9.5, #DunePartTwo’s 9.6, #Interstellar’s 9.7),, and a strong 9.0⭐️ on Megabox. The film is now leading pre-sales for the weekend, when it might be the first film to take down from #1 the local mega hit #TheKingsWarden, which had been holding the #1 since FEB 4. A 4M-6M 5-day opening weekend could be in the cards

It’s hereeee!!! #2 With general tickets poised to go on sale next week, #Lionsgate ramps up marketing campaign for KING OF POP #MichaelJackson’s music biopic MICHAEL, dropping an EPIC teaser featurette! Starring #JaafarJackson, #MICHAEL debuts on APR 24!

@ERCboxoffice *and saw its potential broad appeal as much as I did 😂

@ERCboxoffice I couldn’t have said it better, Jeff! Glad you also enjoyed it and its broad appeal as my as I did,

MGM’s PROJECT HAIL MARY is a love letter to life, in all forms. Ryan Gosling elevates and illuminates every scene, as he often does. This has all the ingredients to become a blockbuster hit. Would be out-of-this-world to see the $200M+ sci-fi flick follow the star path that THE MARTIAN ($630M) and GRAVITY ($723M) did. For MGM/Amazon it officially launches their big budget theatrical dreams—the stardust cinema era. One small step for theatrical, one giant leap for MGM. Gotta stick that landing.

#Apple unveiled first look still of their next awards bet,: the thriller #WhatHappensAtNight, directed by #MartinScorsese, starring #LeonardoDiCaprio, #JenniferLawrence & #MadsMikkelsen, an book adaptation from #PeterCameron’s novel of the same name, in partnership with #StudioCanal. Apple is timing up with both Scorcese & DiCaprio after their successful previous 10x #Oscars  Nominated #KillersOfTheFlowerMoon, and just after seeing their latest theatrical release #F1 becoming a #Oscar winner at the #Oscars  2026!

@travis_demaria You are in for a ride!!! Let me know what did you think

@Luiz_Fernando_J Because of your glowing review I just booked a ticket to see this movie on Saturday :) Looking forward to it.

You guys simply don’t understand. #ProjectHailMary IS THAT GOOD. And I can’t stress this enough haha! I can’t wait to see it again & I can’t wait for y’all to see it once for all. I haven’t been this confident that a film would resonate with all sorts of people since watching #TopGunMaverick for the first time. Cinephile or Casual, doesn’t really matter, I believe PHM will connect to everyone in a way or another.

India is at it again, as a new Indian blockbuster is ready to cause havoc at US #BoxOffice Actioner #DhurandharTheRevenge starring #RanveerSingh & #ArjunRampal, grosses STRONG 2M on #2 BIGGEST WED PREVIEWS for Indian films in the U.S. (only under #Prabhas’s #Kalki2898AD’s 3.9M WED Previews) over just 725 theatres, ahead of its THU Opening Day. #Dhurandhar2 could have a 6M-9M 4-day opening in the cards!

It’s hereeee!!! #Paramount released a teaser spot to celebrate that we are exactly a year away from #Sonic’s next instalment, #Sonic4 #SonicTheHedgehog4 debuts on MAR 19, 2027, a week before #GodzillaxKongSupernova, to enjoy the SPRING BREAK boost!

And yeah, the day of true is coming for #MICHAEL, as #Lionsgate confirmed that general ticket pre-sales for the KING OF POP #MichaelJackson’s music biopic go live next week, on THU MAR 26! Starring #JaafarJackson, the film debuts on APR 24, with IMAX early screenings on APR 22!

A pic that has AURA all over it! The Academy just shared this pic of #Oscar winner #RyanCoogler supported by #IronMan & #CaptainAmerica, I mean, #Oscar winner #RobertDowneyJr & #ChrisEvans at #Oscars 2026. How cool it’d have been if #ChadwickBoseman were still here to be in this pic, for all #BlackPanther meant and paved the way for Coogler’s glorious night last SUN…
