Predicting The Next 10 Billion Dollar Movies

6. Avengers: Infinity War

Spider Man Billion Dollar
Marvel Studios

As mentioned in the previous slide, Star Wars is without a doubt the biggest movie franchise out there. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains the most lucrative. With over $11.7bn and counting in box office takings, the MCU is seemingly unstoppable. And next year's Infinity War has long been promised as the studio's biggest movie yet.

Bringing together all of the most popular characters from the studio's shared universe, this thing is going to be massive. And with Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther all still to come before Infinity War, the popularity of the MCU will only increase over the next year.

The first two Avengers flicks are both the highest-grossing entries in the MCU and two of the ten biggest movies in history, and with a marketing campaign that will surely play up the sheer scale of the project and huge cast of popular characters, Infinity War has a real shot at passing The Avengers' mammoth $1.5bn box office total.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
