Box Office 2025 Predictions: Can ‘Jurassic World 4,’ Leonardo DiCaprio and a New Superman Help Theaters Return to Glory?
From "Superman" and "Wicked 2" to "Jurassic World 4" and "F1," Variety forecasts 2025's box office triumphs, misfires — and everything in between.
Release date: Dec. 19 Thrill factor: Three years ago, “Avatar: The Way of Water” grossed $2.3 billion and proved beyond a doubt that audiences remain insatiable for the sci-fi saga of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) on the alien moon of Pandora. Release date: Oct. 10 Thrill factor: The first two “Tron” movies were set almost exclusively inside the digital space known as the Grid, but this threequel from director Joachim Rønning (“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”) places Jared Leto’s titular living program in the real world. Release date: Aug. 8 Thrill factor: Paul Thomas Anderson — who’s created masterful works like “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia” and “Phantom Thread” — has recruited Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Hollywood’s last remaining bankable stars, to lead the buzzy cast of Sean Penn, Regina Hall and Alana Haim.
