15 Predictions For Next Summer's Biggest Movies

8. World War Z 2 & Barbie Get Moved Out Of The Summer

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2
Paramount Pictures

The Prediction: With Barbie set to arrive on May 12th and the World War Z sequel due to land on June 9th yet neither having started actual production yet, it's safe to say that they're going to get shifted to at least the end of the year if not some time in 2018.

Why It Might Not Happen: To be fair, Barbie probably doesn't require much post-production so it could be ready-ish for May if not during the summer, while World War Z 2 has been zeroing in on David Fincher as its possible director for a while now and could start shooting soon.

It's still an outside bet given how long even a basic post-process takes, and World War Z will naturally require a lot of CGI tweaking before release. But they could still make next August...barely.
