No Body knew who hellboy was until the first one came out. TDK is ovbiously gonna kick its ass. Batman is the best cause hes the most realistic and so is the joker, a metalcase who kills people for fun. Who wouldnt want to see it. And people are gonna see it cause its Heath Legers last movie, But thats beside the point. Deffitinly gonna kill all other movies.

Sorry but Batman will beat them all this summer. I saw Ironman and it was a great movie too. I will see Hellboy II too because I loved the first but Batman will still beat out all of them. I cannot wait for both movies over the summer.

I don’t think that HB II will break any box office records and it might eventually make $100mil after a few weeks. Will it be a better movie than Iron Man? I think it’s hard to say and it’ll come down to the individual. They seem too different in content to compare, but we will be able to compare them on a comic movie basis.

The new trailer I saw for HB II in front of Indy 4 was awesome! My kid and I were estatic, but it also showed WAY too much….I feel like I just watched the entire outline of the movie. I hate when they do that, but perhaps since HB has a small audience following they are trying to draw in a larger crowd.

I can’t wait for July!!

Some rather brave predictions there, Doug. I was a big fan of the first Hellboy, watched it a good 5 or 6 times now, at least, and I’m practically a del Toro fanboy, so I’m seriously looking forward to this… But Christopher Nolan is a director of no small significance, and will surely pull off a top class film with The Dark Knight.

Honestly though, I think this post is a very “my dad could beat up your dad” kind of thing. Now I don’t mean to be insulting, but I find it fairly pointless, both films look terrific and I’m sure they’re both going to be great. Can we, as movie fans, not be happy with 2 spectacularly good movies? Do we have to pit them against each other, or can we embrace them both?

I know what I’m doing.

It will not even come close to Iron Man, keep dreaming.

This piece of crap will not even make as much as the Hulk, which will be the worst movie of the summer, sadly. Iron Man would be right in the middle. (TDK-A, IronMan-B, Indy4-C, Hulk-D, Hellboy2-F)
guestimation – but I have seen IronMan & Indy and they get B & C respectively…

This will not hold a candle to TDK, and took me 10 minutes to stop laughing before I could even type this. $100 million? You have got to be kidding me. Maybe after 9 months in the theater if they are very lucky. Someone actually said ‘Hellboy I see making 200-300 maybe’ – I want what they are smoking. Wow.

The original Hellboy STILL has not grossed $100 million in it’s lifetime to date – 4 years ago.

I am giving this one the benefit of the doubt and say it might hit $30 opening weekend. I do not care if it does well or not, but it is nowhere in the same league as Iron Man, which is nowhere near the same league as Batman Begins/TDK. Hellboy 1 & 2 combined will not come close to 20% of what TDK brings in during the first week. For better or worse, people will say ‘Oh, another Batman movie? – let’s go see it, and ‘What the hell is Hellboy? There was one?” LOL

HB II will no doubt cross the $100m barrier, since being in the obscurity with the initial release primarily due to a lesser known comic. I, too was one of them who didn’t know squat about HB and then saw the movie and loved it instantly.

While gaining popularity it should hold up well and under Guillermo’s hands it will be cradled with great anticipation.

I just wish it makes more money than Iron Man.

By the way…I hear rumours that Peter Jackson wants to do HB III….see below

From the trailer I saw with Indy, Hellboy 2 will break 100mil no prob.
Will it beat Iron Man (worldwide) in the long run, no way, but I was very impressed and let’s not forget that its the same guy that did Pans Labernyth*.
If The Dark Knight has a good script it will also kick massive ass and end up around the same as Iron Man.
Its going to be very close but I think Iron Man is going to beat Indy and Bruce Wayne.
