Forums - General Discussion - 2010 Box Office Predictions

What movies do you think will be the box office winners of 2010? You can include domestic and worldwide for your predictions. I don't look too much at worldwide, so I'll just include my U.S domestic box office predictions for this year

My domestic predictions are below.:

1. Iron Man 2 - $430 million (There's no doubt about this one. It's easily the most anticipated movie of the year, and it's a sequel to a movie that grossed over $300 million, despite not many people knowing who Iron Man was at the time.)

2. Toy Story 3 - $350 million (I think this will be Pixar's first film since "Finding Nemo" that will gross $300 million in the U.S. Plus it's the sequel to two massively successful animated films. This one has huge demand.)

3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 1 - $320 million (Of course, Harry would make it into this list. Harry Potter films don't usually gross over $300 million. Out of the last six, only two have acclomplished this feat. This is Part 1, however, of the last novel. This could hinder the film's box office performance, or not.)

4. Inception - $250 million (This is director Christopher Nolan's first project since The Dark Knight. It's hard to make out what's going on in the trailer, but it looks bad-ass and ORIGINAL.

5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader - $230 million (And lastly, I'd have to go with Narnia 3. Even though the first one made $290 million, the second one only grossed about half of it's predecessor, at around $140-150 million. While $230 may seem bold, it still is Narnia. I'm just worried that the general audience has forgot about it, since no one seems to talk about it anymore. I for sure, will be seeing this one when it releases.)

6. Alice In Wonderland - $225 million (This one is hard to predict. It certainly looks interesting, but I don't know if the general public thinks much of this movie. I can see it settling in comfortably between $200 and $250 million at the end of it's run.)

So, what about you guys? Post a couple that you think will be the box office kings of 2010, whether domestic (U.S), worldwide, or both. Post your predictions below and discuss.



Around the Network

I really don't see Narnia 3 improve on the box office of Narnia 2 that much... the prediction is way too high for it.

Inception has the potential to be a hit but probably not a $250 million hit though.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

No Alice in Wonderland?

Oh, sorry. I forgot about "Alice In Wonderland". I'm not really sure if it will crack $200 million. It would be cool if it did, but we'll have to wait and see. I don't know if the general public thinks much of it. I'll edit it into my predictions, though.



I think AVATAR will take the top spot again



no idea how to make this properly work

Around the Network

I did'nt like ironman. that movie was way over-rated. I want to see #3 and #6. I like Tim Burton's style.



@Kavitron: Yeah!!



Worldwide:

1. Harry Potter
2. Toy Story 3
3. Ironman 2
4. Inception (hope this turns out to be as good as it looks)
5. Clash of the Titans (maybe.)



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I understand what you mean, but I don't Avatar really counts, since it was released in 2009. But if you counted what it grossed this year, it would be up there. I think about $350 million of the total $630 million was grossed this year, as of this posting.

I agree that it is overrated, but it's still a kick-ass movie. There's actually not that many movies coming out this year that I want to see. It's a pretty weak year, but I do want to see Robert Downey, JR back in action.
