Seven of them — count ’em — are superhero movies. And that doesn’t even include «Incredibles 2.»<\/b>
\nSeven. There are seven superhero movies debuting in 2018. Six are from the Marvel Comics pantheon and one from DC\u2019s \u201cJustice League\u201d series. If the last decade has felt like an endless onslaught of capes and tights and threats to the general well-being of Earth\/the galaxy\/the universe, keep in mind that seven superhero movies is a new numerical pinnacle for the genre that\u2019s currently gobbling up heaps and heaps of box office bucks. (The previous record for superhero movies released in a single calendar year was six, in 2017.)
And I\u2019m not even counting Pixar\u2019s \u201cIncredibles 2.\u201d
All this made my original idea of compiling the 20 biggest movies debuting in 2018 a dilemma, because populating 35 percent of the list with flying humans and talking tree-men seemed too heavily weighted. I ended up stretching the list to 35 movies, which cut the superhero-domination number to a mere 20 percent of movies most likely to fill the upper register of the annual theatrical-gross chart.
Here they are, in order by release dates, which are subject to change, of course. That means the list begins rather audaciously with\u2026<\/p>\n
