35. Space Jam: A New Legacy

Warner Bros.

Though it hasn't been formally confirmed yet, it's Hollywood's worst-kept secret that the film will feature cameos from a number of Warner Bros. characters - such as The Joker, The Mask, Pennywise, and so on - ensuring that Space Jam 2 might be the wackiest blockbuster of the entire year.

This thing will likely end up either a gloriously meta triumph or a disastrous dumpster fire, but given that WB spent a stonking $183.7 million on it, it's going to be an absolute sight to see either way.
