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.

 

Well we'll find out pretty soon I guess. The Star Trek brand has been stalled for years after a bunch of terrible movies and that dreadful Enterprise series. A prequel movie makes a lot of sense in this case as it had nowhere else to go. This movie has everything a big summer movie needs. It's a fresh take on one of the best known franchises, looks to have spectacular action set pieces and enough humour to stop everything being taken so seriously. This movie could connect with old fans that had given up & young fans drawn in by the special effects/action. It's multi-cultural cast won't hurt it's prospects either(especially worlwide).

Angels & Demons doesn't have the controversy angle DaVinci had(not for want of trying though) so I don't think this will get anywhere near it. It'll probably be the summer film that will attract the older crowd so it will probably have some of the best legs.   

After watching Wolverine yesterday, I'm even more certain it'll crash in it's second weekend(it'll still be very big due to a huge 1st weekend). A prequel was not the greatest idea really.They've touched on the subject enough in the previous XMEN movies. They should have just made a new XMEN movie but keep the main focus on Wolverine.



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

I'm not too excited about wolverine, though he is the most popular x-men.

I think it'll crash next weekend as well.

I think Star Trek will be the king of the box office this summer.

I will run outside down the street bare ass naked if Star Trek brings in more money at the box office than every other film this summer. Its not going to happen.



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

'Micmacs à tire-larigot' will be good, but that doesn't come out till October.

Not many movies excite me any more. If only Fincher would have actually done Rendevous with Rama, I would have been in heaven.

Harry Potter. It will become the most successful film franchise of all time after this new release. It dethroned Star Wars and the only one above it is the 22 James Bond films. Most summer movies suck. Personally I look forward to Inglorious Basterds and Public Enemies.
