Old 2022 Box Office Predictions
My predictions for 2022.
NOTE: I do think Warner Bros will move Aquaman to Summer 2023 to avoid Avatar and the fact that another DCEU film The Flash being released just a month before. So Aquaman 2 won’t be here for now.

NOTE: This film is difficult to predict as while it is a sequel to the biggest film of all time financially, No one really gives a crap about Avatar anymore and the film’s reputation has deteriorated over time. Plus it will be 13 years since the original and that’s WAY too long a wait for a sequel that was supposed to come out in freaking 2014! However this is a sequel to the highest grossing film of all time (As a Marvel fan it hurts to say that) so I think Avatar 2 will still be one of the highest grossing films.
