Post Will Incredibles 2 be the only $300m+ 2017/18 animated film?
This year it looks like we won't get a $300m animated grosser, and Despicable Me 3 probably won't even hit $250m.

Next year besides Incredibles 2 we have...
-Hotel Transylvania 3
-Wreck-It-Ralph 2
-The Grinch
-Animated Spider-Man

So will Incredibles 3 be the only one that grosses above $300m? $250m? Pretty weak slate tbh unless something else gets released or an original property we don't know about is released and breaks out.

I see no reason why The Grinch and Wreck-It Ralph 2 can't make $300m. The former is a widely known property and it will have the Christmas boost, and the latter is very well liked and should see an increase (ok, maybe not that much, but it's possible if not probable). But I agree that The Incredibles 2 is the most likely to hit $300m, though that's not guaranteed.

We won't have a $300m animated film this year so why not? I also don't think Incredibles is a lock to pull a Finding Dory.

Incredibles is not guaranteed, but it's certainly the only one with a real shot.

Wreck-It Ralph does not scream "break-out sequel" to me. I think it can do a bit better than the first, but not 300m big.

Grinch will probably be shit, and 200m is pretty likely but I don't think it out grosses Sing.

But it's crazy that Moana would have almost certainly been the #1 animated film this year.

Incredibles is gonna make $300m no problem. Even if it fails to hit the first one adjust ($370m) I think there's enough anticipation for it to gross at least $320m or so.

Moana really should've been released this summer.

It probably sold about as many tickets as Monsters Inc. monsters University did 268m. I could see Incredibles open and total at a similar amount.

Incredibles 2 is an easy one to get 300+. The kids will want to see it, and I happen to know a lot of teenagers and adults who would see this over any other Pixar property. People have been waiting for a long time for this.

Fourteen years is a long time between the first and second film. Kids that loved it in 2004 are not in college or at work. I think it's going to need to attract the new generation of children, which it by all means could do, but $300m is not a guarantee. I do not see the love fourteen years on, or even the merchandise being pushed, that I have seen for Finding Nemo.

If a movie as poorly conceived as Finding Dory can do $486m, then anything Pixar throws at the screen and calls Incredibles 2 has to be able to squeeze $300m out of the same indiscriminate audience.

I'd agree that Grinch has a good chance as well though it might stall at $270m with a breakout but at present it looks like it will only be Incredibles 2.

Spider-Man even the live-action won't be far ahead of $300m so I don't think this will be even close to $300m mark.

HT3 will most certainly won't do it. WiR2 will also miss the mark, the first one had all the factors in its favor and that didn't come close, so I don't think this will be close.
