21 Movie Predictions for 2021

Our attempt at making 20 movie and television predictions for 2020 included many swings and misses, which we can largely blame on Covid (though the pandemic actually helped clinch a few). We’re very optimistic heading into 2021, and with all these movies getting delayed, means the upcoming calendar is going to be action packed. So much so that we’re going to include 21 bonus predictions at the bottom, because there’s so much going on that several subjects need to be addressed. 

We are going to allow our #1 prediction from 2020 to carry-over into 2021 (despite technically coming true due to Covid).
