15 Predictions For Next Summer's Biggest Movies
11. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Breaks $1 Billion Worldwide
The Prediction: After the original 2014 movie made a staggering $773.3 million against tremendous odds, the only way is up for everyone's favourite rag-tag gang of space bandits, so expect Guardians 2 to crack the billion-dollar ceiling, albeit just narrowly.
Why It Might Not Happen: While it seems incredibly unlikely that Guardians Vol. 2 will make less than the original, the inevitable superhero fatigue or even an underwhelming marketing campaign could make this one perform only slightly better than the original.
Given the ridiculous success of the first film both on release and in the months after, crossing a billion seems like an easy sell, but remember that Civil War "only" grossed $1.152 billion, which some viewed as a mild disappointment given that it was basically another Avengers movie.
