With Mike still out, Mark takes the mic and sits down with Classic Cinemas CEO/CPE (Chief Popcorn Eater,) Chris Johnson, to talk about his favorite subject: movies. Together, these two industry insiders break down what could make 2026 a banner year at the box office, from bold new IP to franchise heavy-hitters.

They trade predictions on which films may soar past expectations and share the titles they’re most excited to see hit the big screen, including Project Hail Mary, The Bride, Supergirl, Scream 7, Toy Story 5, and Wuthering Heights, just to name a few. With week-after-week releases shaping up to form one of the deepest and most entertaining slates in recent memory, the conversation explores whether 2026 has the makings of a true 10 billion-dollar-plus year for cinema.
