3. Inside Out – $300M – June 19

We didn’t get a new Pixar film in 2014 so the anticipation for this is pretty huge. It might feel like a gamble to say Inside Out is going to hit $300M (only two other Pixar films ever have, Toy Story 3 and Finding Nemo) but there are fewer groups that have had such a good summer track record as Pixar has.

2. Minions – $325M – July 10

Their popularity is bigger than ever and people have been waiting for them to get their own film. Minions will be giants.
