3. Fighting With My Family

The Movie: Based on the life of WWE wrestler Paige, Fighting With My Family is directed by Stephen Merchant and stars Dwayne Johnson, Nick Frost, Lena Heady and Vince Vaughn.

Given Merchant's involvement, expect this to lean heavily on the comedy, and with The Rock also executive-producing, it's destined to be an entertaining treat for wrestling fans.

Why It Could Be A Hit: This one almost speaks for itself. The Rock is currently the biggest movie star in the world, and after Jumanji exceeded even the most optimistic of expectations, it seems like he can do no wrong.

He's always been a popular wrestling personality too, and the excitement of seeing him involved with a wrestling movie is easy to feel, especially for those of us who grew up watching him dominate inside the ring.

There was also a lot of real-world drama surrounding Paige earlier this year, and while it's not clear if the movie will cover recent events in a later scene, this is a very good time for a movie about her to open.
