| madman25 said: I was just about to make a very similar thread but i'll contribute to this one instead ;) Box Office wise: Woverine will have a huge opening followed by a disastrous 2nd weekend thanks to: Star Trek. A prequel that will be the biggest star trek movie and the biggest movie of the year. Transformers will be huge due to crazed fanboys going to see it 11 times. I'll pass on this one after being subjected to the first one(unless shia lebouf isn't in it & Michael Bay isn't directing) Ice Age 3 will be the biggest toon this year but Pixar's UP will get the critical acclaim. Night at the museum 2 looks even worst than the first film but again will be huge. Harry Potter 6 should be the first HP movie since the first one to crack 300m domestic and will likely do 1billion worldwide. Terminator:Salvation should be a decent sized hit, enough to greenlight the next 2 in the series. |
Are you joking? If there is any big budget movie that is going to tank this year, it is Star Trek.
Harry Potter, Transformers 2, and either Terminator 4 or Angels and Demons will be the biggest of the big money. Wolverine may surprise everyone and put up some really good numbers. Star Trek may do well, but it isn't going to be anything more than a modest success.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
