Predicting Summer 2017's Highest Grossing Movies

By Jack Pooley /

7. War For The Planet Of The Apes ($650 Million)

20th Century Fox

Why It'll Happen: 2014's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes cracked an impressive $710.6 million worldwide, and while War will surely be a strong hit, it'll probably gross a little less than its predecessor due to releasing between Spider-Man: Homecoming and Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

Why It Might Not: Considering Spider-Man's well-proven box office might, it's entirely possible the movie could have a more damaging effect on Apes than expected, especially with the potency of the MCU and the general consensus that the new interpretation of the web-slinger is a huge breath of fresh air.
