Predicting The 20 Highest Grossing Movies Of 2017
13. The LEGO Batman Movie
Prediction: $700m
Expanding both the LEGO movie franchise and the Batman franchise, The LEGO Batman Movie is the hotly anticipated spin-off from the most charming film of 2014.
Why It's Golden
The LEGO Movie itself made close to $500m, but it has arguably become more of a cult since it was released, and Batman was the best part of that movie (aside from Chris Pratt). So that's the best part of the amalgamation of two mega-brands: it shouldn't be rocket science to see why it would make money.
Will It Be Any Good?
With the same writing and directorial team behind the scenes and the same gloriously irreverent spirit, then it's an assured winner. The LEGO Movie was a charming and very funny film with a great emotional pay-off and if they can use that self-same brand of humour for Batman, it's going to be great.
Even just the possibility of seeing more Batman villains done in LEGO is worth the ticket price alone.
