Rules Summary

The market resolves YES if the selected option movies clear $1B worldwide in 2026 recorded on Box Office Mojo by January 1, 2027. . Otherwise, the market resolves NO. Note: This market counts only films that have reached $1 billion worldwide as of the recording date. A film released in 2026 that crosses $1 billion after January 5, 2027 does not count, even though its full theatrical run may eventually exceed that figure. December releases with strong momentum but totals below $1 billion on the recording date do not count. The outcome will be verified by Box Office Mojo.
