It's looking like Batman v Superman doesn't belong in the same room as Zootopia. Billion dollar status seems out of the question for the superhero showdown; looks like its a three way race between Zootopia, The Jungle Book and Captain America: Civil War for 2016's first billion dollar baby (so, Disney's probably not too worried about bankruptcy or anything in the near future). Zootopia, if it makes it (it's a few million shy of $100 million away), will most likely crawl across the finish line; it just opened this week in Japan, but it's basically just replacing the box office it lost from the Chinese moratorium rather than giving it a final spurt. The directors have apparently announced there will be some sort of "surprise" if it does pass a billion; I'm hoping its the announcement that Disney'll push it for Best Picture come Oscar season, but probably more people are expecting announcement of a sequel (and, as vague as the "promise" is, maybe Byron will draw a cute pic and post on Twitter, and that's it).
The Jungle Book, meanwhile, is going to have to sprint for it before Captain America sucks all the air out of the room; Captain America, meanwhile, will almost certainly cross a billion. The question is will It's Really Avengers 2.5 be 2016's first, second or third?
