15 Predictions For Next Summer's Biggest Movies

4. Cars 3 Is Better Than Two, Worse Than One

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2
Pixar

The Prediction: Cars 3 won't be seeking to sell lunchboxes quite as transparently as its critically-panned predecessor, but it won't reach the rock solid fun of the original either. Expect by far the studio's second-worst-reviewed effort to date.

Why It Might Not Happen: Would it really surprise anyone if Cars 3 got worse reviews than Cars 2? It sure would be disappointing, but given how these movies are clearly being made to shift merch rather than tell a heartfelt story, it's the cash-grab fans allow Pixar to have in order to facilitate their usually consistent brand of storytelling.

And then there's the ridiculous outside possibility that Cars 3 actually ends up being better than the original movie. Don't laugh...
