The Batman will certainly be in the top 3 next year. SM:NWH was $1B Sat and end up over $1.5B WW.
We now have 4 trailers. Will The Batman gross over or under a billlion? What other releases are going to be competing block busters?
I definitely think it will gross over a billion and will indeed be the highest grossing film of 2022. I'm going pretty high with my prediction so I'll say around 1.2 to 1.3 billion if the pandemic is somewhat contained with no significant spikes in cases.
In regards to other blockbusters, definitely Mission Impossible 7, Doctor Strange 2, Avatar 2, Thor, Top Gun and Black Panther will definitely provide a sort of competition towards The Batman but I still think it will out gross every 2022 film.
