Okay, wow… that was one epic summer for movies!
Universal blew the previous annual box office record out of the water, with Furious 7, Jurassic World, and Minions, beating Fox’s previous record of $5.53 Billion in August, with four more months left in the year to further add to the record books!
Jurassic World set numerous records, and is now only the fourth movie to hit $1 Billion at the overseas box office. (Can you name the other three? HINT: none are from Disney or Warner Brothers, although Avengers only needs $57 Million to reach the club, and only $17 Million to pass Harry Potter.)
So, what’s coming up? Star Wars. Plus Jem, Peanuts, and another Pixar movie, this time with dinosaurs!
Will Star Wars be the first movie to hit $1 Billion in North America? Stay tuned…
Here’s the latest movie schedule, culled from various sources…
NOTE: My colleagues have noted the confusion over Warner Brothers’ superhero schedule.
To be clear: past Suicide Squad, Warners Brothers/DC Entertainment has not matched announced movies with opening dates.
So, you will see a listing like:
Unknown 2018 Flash and
3/23/2018 Untitled DC
That does not mean that there are two movies scheduled, only that DCE is planning movies, and has claimed dates. Other news sites have linked titles to dates. This has not been officially announced or confirmed by Warner Brothers, and until I see official confirmation, will continue to list the names and dates separately. When do I expect to see that confirmation? Either at a shareholder’s meeting, or maybe a special press conference. There wasn’t much announced at San Diego or Anaheim (aside from a few Disney/Pixar movies), so maybe we’ll see a repeat of Marvel’s El Capitan event.
Updates are in bold. I have included links back to Box Office Mojo, which is the source of this data.

No Pigpen in the Peanuts movie!?
Pigpen is in the third row, behind Violet and Patty, offering his popcorn to Franklin. Is that Shermie on his right?
No Molly or Rover? And is that Snoopy’s fiancee in the top row?
Torsten, they HAVE announced the movies. YOU just refuse to admit it.
