10 Upcoming Movies That Could Beat Avengers: Endgame At The Box Office

Here is your reminder that a live-action Mulan remake is currently in the works. The movie is slated for March of next year and with its release comes a movie that has the potential to top Avengers: Endgame financially.

Disney's live-action adaptations of animated classics have been hit and miss to this point. The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast were certified hits, while Dumbo floundered and the upcoming Aladdin doesn't seem to be gaining much traction with fans. Choosing which film to adapt in this way seems like a roll of the dice.

Mulan seems like a good choice here for one reason: China. The film market in China is the second largest in the World by a wide margin, trailing on the United States. It is also a rapidly growing one and will eventually take the title of the largest film market. We can expect studios to cater more and more to Chinese audiences in the coming years

We have also seen the financial potential in diversifying audiences. The Aforementioned Black Panther is the highest grossing Non-Avengers superhero movie ever. Crazy Rich Asians was one of the surprise hits of 2018, making $238 million against a $30 million budget.

It seems that appealing to international markets and increased representation, while relying on established properties, is a good formula for financial success. In this regard, Mulan is one the best place for Disney to start and could surpass Avengers: Endgame at the box office.
