I pick Mowgli.

The recent one made by Disney was super duper popular. If this is just half as popular, then yay.

This was a tough choice. There are 2 other movies I really want :/

Fuuuuuck.

Though to be fair I passed on it because it's not in association with Disney and will come off as a cheap remake of the 2016 movie.

Mowgli has the potential to be just as good as Disney's. The cast is stacked and it's directed by Andy Serkis who is incredibly talented.

Agree. In fact, I think I'm likely to like this one more.

But are people gonna want to watch the "same movie"? :/

I know -- this one is darker, not a musical and all that. At least they changed the title to Mowgli, a good move.

Yes, changing from Jungle Book: Origins probably saved this movie 50M

This is tough; lots of options some riskier than others

I’m going to take Equalizer 2...the first did 101M and I think it got more fans once out on dvd also, so a good sequel should do 100M+

Yep, if that's even half as good as Mad Max it's a good pick.

I haven't even watched it but judging on Reddit reactions this is going to draw huge audiences. Ldo not target audience of Avengers but I think this will crush

Mortal Engines is such a bizarre and interesting trailer, its hard to put on a read on the movie

Is it Mad Max or Waterworld? Trailer has 22k upvotes to 1k downvotes so people are digging it. I think it looks awesome and it’s Peter Jackson, but agree it’s tough to tell if it will actually be good with that teaser; I think they nailed the cinematography and style though

Mother****.

I was going to choose that to pop the quirky comedy with big stars that may or may not make a ton of money list.

But I'll choose TAG instead.
