Each answer resolves YES if that film's domestic (US+Canada) box office gross exceeds $250M by the end of 2026.

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.
