In Episode 38, the father–son duo looks ahead to 2026, which we predict could be the most profitable year for movies since 2019. With an absolutely stacked slate of releases on the horizon, we dive headfirst into a highest-grossing prediction draft, where each of us builds a list of the movies we believe will dominate the 2026 box office. In a year’s time, we’ll revisit these picks to see whose draft actually made the most money.
