We’ve been talking for a while now about the summer of 2007. It’s shaping up to be one of the best summers in history as far as the popcorn blockbuster film fan go. The list is huge and seemingly endless. But what’s really interesting is the 3 of the MAJOR heavyweights of the summer are all going to be slugging it out at the same time in May alone.
Shrek 3, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 are all coming out in May, which means there are going to be weeks where all 3 will be in theater at the exact same time battling for the lion’s share of the audience (and let’s face it, fighting for the audience is what summer blockbusters are really all about as far as the studios are concerned.
All 3 of these films are going to do impressive business… no doubt… but… all being in the theaters at the same time is going to hurt all of them. There really isn’t any disputing that. I think almost everyone will see all of these films once… but the issue of REPEAT business comes into question with 3 major blockbusters in theaters at once.
So here are 2 questions for you:
1) Which of these 3 films will come out on top?
2) Which of these 3 do you THINK you’ll see more in theaters?
(As a side note, all 3 of these films being in May bodes VERY WELL for Transformers all the way out in July)
