The internet seems to look back at the Shrek franchise positively so I think this should do incredibly well.

It will do about 350-400 if it’s decent.

The floor is $300 million. It could double the recent Puss in Boots movie easy.

It'll definitely top Puss in Boots due to being bigger IP.

Shrek 4 did $752m back in May 2010.
Shrek 5, if good, can come close to that. I'm confident, good or bad, it'll at least top 500m

Feel KFP4 has given us the best barometer for a Shrek 5 given it was harder to tell from a spinoff alone.to be a $186M box office sensation from a $12.4M OW. That was 11 years after Puss #1.

Last Shrek movie was in 2010. Last KFP movie was 2016. Panda could do $170-210M I think. It very much took the reins along with Madagascar and Dragon of their post Shrek phase.

Certainly feels like Shrek 5 would look good for $300M+. Feels the nostalgia and audience is much broader. A rebound back to about $350M or more would not be shocking.

Adjusted tallies:
Shrek 1 $526.5M
Shrek 2 $791.1M
Shrek 3 $522.3M
Shrek 4 $334.9M

Again, KFP4's opening day demo was only 22% Caucasian and 2/3 13-24. I'd expect Shrek is going to be an even bigger multiquadrant event.

Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy seem to be coming back just at the right time from career hiatuses.

Shrek 2 is actually getting a 20th anniversary re-release next month on April 12, so that will be another solid measurement for just how much nostalgia there is for Shrek (and I do think there's a lot).

Apparently an intern accidentally posted on her LinkedIn last fall that Shrek 5 was coming out in 2025. I think 2026 is a good possibility too since it will be 25 years since the original Shrek's release. I think the fact we haven't heard anything about a Puss In Boots 3 is indicative that they wanted a Shrek sequel out before so it must have pushed forward in early development in early 2023 (when Puss was having extraordinary legs).

Also Diaz out of retirement, Myers has been doing a lot of interviews and murphy’s Netflix deal ending does seem the time to do it, if ever

The next Shrek if marketed well will target $500m plus domestic. Its primed fir a break out. I’d say it could even outgross The Incredibles 2

The ending of Puss 2 alluded to a return to the world of Shrek. Will be interesting how they plan to release the two films.

Shrek 1 is still hysterical to this day.

Panda breaking out makes me think, this is also. Question is how big. Has the production started on this. This is not going to be low budget considering the cast(Myers, Murphy, Diaz, Banderas etc). But potential is also that much bigger compared to Panda.

I don’t see the budget being that. New rules mean backend deals again. I will say shrek was never known for the visuals. It is seriously the wait between films, at this point. Kids get older and say this is amazing (because) they only watch the first and new kids fall in love. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a new ice age or merge with cross.

Shrek, people care, the cast isn’t coming back for scraps. Come on old donkey dying film (of course magical potion saves him in the end!)

Myers will announce Shrek 5 and Austin powers 4 after the election

Making the call now, they'll announce Shrek 5 as a teaser at the beginning or end of Shrek 2 which gets re-released April 12th. Feels like an announcement is very close!
