How it resolves
Resolved by whoever created the market, at their discretion per the question's description. It's play-money (Mana) and not tied to an official source — treat it as a community forecast.
Resolution criteria
Resolution criteria Each answer resolves YES if that film's domestic (US+Canada) box office gross exceeds $250M by the end of 2026. Resolution source: Box Office Mojo; if unavailable or clearly erroneous, The Numbers will serve as backup. Films that do not open domestically in 2026 resolve NO. Background The domestic box office is forecasted to hit $9 billion in 2026, though many of the movie business's biggest franchises are showing signs of oversaturation or fatigue. Family films and video game adaptations proved irresistible to audiences in 2025, with "A Minecraft Movie," "Lilo & Stitch," and "Zootopia 2" being the three highest-grossing Hollywood productions. 2026 features several major tentpoles: The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping releases November 20, 2026, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is inspired by the Nintendo Wii title, and Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for December 18, 2026. Toy Story 5 confronts the reality that children would rather play with screens than dolls, and Woody and Buzz needn't worry about box office grosses. Considerations Reaching $250M domestically is a significant threshold—only major franchises and event films typically achieve this. This description was generated by AI.
ⓘ A market settles under its own written rules, which can lag what looks decided in the news — so the price may not move to 100% the moment an outcome seems obvious.
