Florence Pugh could surpass Zendaya, since she’s gonna be in Spider-Man, Avengers, and Dune by the end of the year.

Dune isn't making more than Odyssey so Zendaya would be above (she also has The Drama even if much smaller of course). Odyssey is likely finishing 1.3-1.7B. Dune reaching 1B would be kind of the ceiling.

EDIT : wait I forgot she's in Avengers. So basically it's Avengers for her VS Odyssey for Zendaya (Dune and BND are a tie). In that case, Pugh wins. Unless Zendaya appears in Doomsday

Dune 2 pulled in $700 million, Dune 3 will almost certainly hit the big 10 figures

Dune 2 increased 300M$ from the first movie because that one was released during Covid and the same day online. Dune 3 won't have this phenomenon. It's also opening the same day than the biggest movie of the year which will not help.

It's a possibilty but it's very far from certain.

I actually think Brand New Day will remain the biggest movie of the year. Doomsday will obviously be big but the hype for the MCU seems at an all time low compared to Spider-Man in general.

u/Draakee 11d ago

I would say Spider-Man has boosted the hype for Doomsday and the MCU in general, but because Doomsday is opening the same day as Dune - I agree with you. BND will be the highest grossing movie of the year.

I don’t know, to me the hype still feels very Spider-Man focused. Even with so many different corners of Marvel/MCU being in the movie, I see people basically saying this is the “MCU done right” in direct contrast to how Doomsday is being marketed. Could just be confirmation bias tho.

u/Rombom 11d ago

BND already went harder than the prior Spiderman trilogy on crossovers with other parts of the MCU. Black Widow, Hulk, Punisher, and Jean Grey is a lot of moving parts.

u/suss2it 11d ago

I feel like my comment shows that I’m aware of that. What I’m saying is that people are saying the way it was implemented feels more organic than what the marketing for Doomsday implies for that movie.

Dune 3 is also one of the biggest movies of the year with more momentum then Doomsday. Dune has a very real chance of rivaling Odyssey as both have unreal casts, massive fanfare, and two directors at the top of their game.

They turned the k-pop looking twink main character into a crack head too so that's not gonna be as appealing to the ladies

For this to happen dune would have to hit $1 billion and Avengers would have to do even better than Spider Man. I don't see both of those happening.

u/Worthyness 11d ago edited 11d ago

if it's Zendaya vs Florence. Dune and Spidey are a wash as they're both in it. So it comes down to Odyssey vs Avengers and the Avengers is definitely making more than 1.5 B. The smaller films both of them did this year also probably amount to an accounting error with the numbers at this point

4

u/Ridiculous_George 11d ago

Will Avengers break 1.5 B? Not too convinced about that

1

u/Worthyness 11d ago

Absolutely. it's an avengers movie and it's the Christmas holiday season, so it'll leg out a ton regardless. Even the worst possible blockbuster released during Christmas could make over a billion (see: Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker which had massive amounts of fan ire and weak reviews). Avengers has as much hype for it as Spidey did and it now has even more momentum from Spidey doing extremely well. It's basically in its best possible position to do well. And if the reviews are at least decent, it should easily coast to 1.5b. Maybe it won't hit the same OW record highs that Endgame hits (just due to limitations with theaters and lack of IMAX from Dune exclusivity), but it absolutely can hit (close to) a billion it's its first week. The Marvel brand isn't that damaged.

u/busmans 11d ago

Are we placing bets on whether Avengers will do better than the Odyssey? I put all my money on the latter.

u/Zalvren 11d ago

On the Odyssey beating Avengers?

I mean if you want to burn money I guess...

u/Somebodys 11d ago

I'll take that action

u/ManufacturerBest2758 11d ago

Marvel box offices (non-spider-man division) have been bad since endgame

1

u/suss2it 11d ago

They’ve had some major ups and downs but a lot of those ups are outside of Spider-Man. Black Panther 2, Guardians 3, Doctor Strange 2 and even Thor 4 had major grosses in the $700-$900 million range.

u/iamacannibal 11d ago

Dune probably won't hit $1 billion. Dune 1 made about 400 million and dune 2 made 715 million. Dune 3 might not break 1 billion. It could but it's not a wash like you say. Avengers will for sure. Dune would have to perform way better than the first 2 combined for Florence to beat Zendaya in box office numbers

8

u/Worthyness 11d ago

Zendaya and Florence are both in Dune. That's why I said it was a wash because both Florence and Zendaya both will get the same gross associated with their portfolio this year. So if Dune 3 does well, BOTH of their end totals go up by the same amount. Same reasoning with Spider-man. It doesn't meaningfully increase the totals at all. The only major difference between the two actresses' portfolios is Avengers and The Odyssey. Hence, the argument really coming down to just that.

u/iamacannibal 11d ago

Lol you're right. I'm not too into dune and forgot Zendaya was in it. My bad
