Ok, so I'll start:
1. Star Wars Episode IX will NOT backtrack on anything from The Last Jedi
2. The Irishman will be a disappointment and the VFX will look awkward at times
3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be Tarantino's biggest BO success
4. Avengers Endgame will kill Tony Stark and Steve Rogers
5. Us will be a sophomore slump
6. Joker will receive mixed reviews (~50% on RT)
7. DC will (hopefully) reboot Batman and announce a new actor
8. The newly announced Nolan movie will be a western (hopefully not, though)
9. Indiana Jones will be postponed again until 2022 when Harrison will be exactly 80 years old.
10. Marvel will announce a Fantastic Four reboot faster than the X-Men reboot
11. New Mutants will be released on the Disney streaming platform
12. The new Terminator will finally kill the franchise... for the next 10 years at least
13. Jojo Rabbit will receive a huge backlash

I have the same feeling, especially regarding the VFX.

You expect them to keep Thor alive? I would be surprised if that ever happens.£

Fincher and/or Fukunaga will leave their big-budget franchise films due to studio interference

1. Yep
2. Hopefully not, but I find it very possible
3. Yes
4. Steve for sure, Tony has a good chance too
5. I have a bad feeling about this one, I'd vote yes rn but please no
6. Sure
7. Yes
8. No
9. No
10. I'm not sure if we'll get an announcement about either this year, but if there is one, it'd be about Fantastic Four first.
11. No
12. I'm predicting bad reviews but a profit, so...probably?
13. Nope, I read the Black List script, and I find that unlikely. I can imagine a backlash in some capacity, but I doubt it'd be huge.

at this point Star Wars is in such a difficult position that I truly believe whatever they do, those who dedicate a sizable portion of their lives to trash TLJ won’t be pleased. So why bother? I hope they won’t backtrack on anything that was initially planned. I’m 100% on board with the idea that a lot of the stuff that happened in the last jedi was planned from the start and wasn’t Johnson trying to sabotage the franchise or whatever lol.

What sort of backlash could Jojo Rabbit get anyway? I’ve not read the script obviously, so I have no idea. I can imagine a vocal minority trying to pull some unfounded and stupid semi-political crap ala “hitler cracking jokes!!! how offensive!!”, but I’m sure people with common sense would probably see through that. I mean... I hope lol?

IX screenplay will be heavily criticized similar to Into Darkness. Most of the blame will fall on Terrio.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be QT’s magnum opus.

Rocketman will get the same critical response as Bohemian Rhapsody (Patchy movie, great lead performance), but it won't do as well financially.

The Lion King will be the next movie to join the 2 billion dollar club.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Dora the Explorer will be a surprise hit.

The Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis Film will be the new musical sensation, ala The Greatest Showman and La La Land.

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu will have a lukewarm reception.

Dumbo will be the highest grossing Tim Burton movie.
