Highest grossing movie in 2026?

What this question means

Ninety-four percent for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, 6% for Avengers: Doomsday, and a rounding error for everything else across a fourteen-film field — Wicked: For Good, Wuthering Heights, Scream 7, Michael, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Toy Story 5.

A number this high on a year-long question is unusual, and it says the crowd considers the outcome close to structurally determined rather than contested. Box office at the very top of the chart tends to be predictable in a way the rest of the industry is not: the films capable of leading a year are known well in advance, and the gap between the top two is normally large enough to survive surprises.

The remaining 6% is not really a rival prediction. It is the allowance for release-date changes, unexpected performance, and the various ways a year can go differently than planned.

Runs to the end of 2026, though in practice questions like this are usually settled well before the deadline.
