HAHAHA I can not believe how terrible you guys are at predictions

While no one is likely to believe me, I called the summer almost perfect

These were my predicitons

The Dark Knight- i called over 500 mil. Believe it.

Indiana Jones- 320

Iron Man- A little over 300

Prince Caspian- (NO ONE called this) 250

Wall E- 240

Hancock- 220

Kung Fu Panda- 200 (i figured it would beat the original madagascar)

Hulk- 160

The Mummy 3- 150

Sex and the City- 120

Get Smart- 110

i forget the others but I def called it pretty well. How the hell did people predict the dark knight around 250? its the fucking most hyped movie of the year and looked so sick not to mention indiana jones didnt look that great. iron man had a fantastic trailer. walle is tooweird to be the next finding nemo. i have no idea what happened to speed racer, narnia, or the x files.

Indy
Dark Knight
Iron Man
Kung Fu Panda
Narnia

I feel like for the most part there is a general consensus that my top three will be in the top 5. However, the real battle this year is that of the animated films.

Pixar’s Wall-E, though impressive has brought up concern with many. They, including those in the industry, are worried that a robot which does not speak words could hinder a certain connection with children. Yes, beeps and boops are fun and kids like that stuff. But a lack of words could lose a child’s attention.

Dreamwork’s Kung Fu Panda follows a certain animal style that DreamWorks seems to love. However, from the trailers and people in the business. They believe over time, it may be even bigger than shrek. There is something about a panda, a fat panda at that, that just makes you smile.

WALL-E vs Kung Fu Panda……winner: Kung Fu Panda

I don’t know why I’m the only one who cannot feel the Indiana Jones Hype
but if you say so…

1.Iron Man
amazing movie,would be shocked if it didnt
2.Wall-E
PIXAR rules
3.Indy 4:
Will do really good but i doubt it will be great
4.Dark Knight
Should Do Great the buzz is excellent
5.Hancock
never underestimate Will Smith even if the movie looks like a bomb
6.Prince Caspian
Must do well, the first one did!
7.Hulk
Could go either way but i bet its better than before
8.Sex and the City
Women are dying over it release,will do really well
9.Tropic Thunder
The movie looks awesome PLUS This is Downey Jr.’s year
10.Kung Fu Panda/Hell boy 2
coming between big blockbusters could go either way based on reviews

and why the Mummy 3? it looks ZZZzzzz…….

1.Indiana Jones
2.Prince Caspian
3.The Dark Knight
4.Hancock
5.The Mummy 3
6.The X-Files 2
7.The Happening
8.Kung Fu Panda
9.Iron Man
10.Sex And The City

As much as I love Edward Norton and Tim Roth, I’m almost hoping the new Hulk tanks so that people will stop and realize “Hey, the first one actually was a good movie, we should have left it alone.” But, not living in an ideal world I won’t hold my breath.

Dudes Indy4 will undoubtedly be the biggest movie of the year.Prince Caspian and WALL-E will do awesomely good as they will be family friendly I dont see Iron Man making 2nd or 3rd.Its the first of the franchise and will do reasonably well.Speed Racer and Hellboy2 are going to be in the top 10 if they are good,they have got good credits though.The Dark Knight was awaited with bated breath by fans[Ledgers death notwithstanding].Begins didnt do so well because people were expecting another Schumacher crapfest thingy but it has gained a cult following and will probably make it to No.2.Expect 2 comedies in the top 10.

Here’s my list of the top 10

1. Indy4

2.Dark Knight

3.Wall -E

4.Prince Caspian

5.Iron Man

6th to 10 will be a free for all with good reviews and marketing pulling films up

HB2 could surprise a lot of us, but I don’t think it will. If it beats any of the comic book movies this summer it will be The Hulk. I think part of the outcome is going to be due to reviews and multiple veiwings. At the moment I’m looking forward to HB:2 more than The Hulk.

I’m still hoping The Mummy 3 will come and go with little noise.

@Kristina..”…The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that HB 2 is not cracking the top ten. It’s just not going to happen. It doesn’t have enough mainstream buzz to get the job done….”

I have similar vibes regarding HB 2, and I want it to perform well.

My hunch is HB:2 will be a better movie than Hulk & The Mummy 3, but it’s tough to make b.o. predictions.
