JackFetch Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Every year there is about 4 or 5 movies that I look forward to. When it gets closer it usually dwindles down to about 3. Next year has more movies that I personally want to see than any year I can remember. 1-18-08: although I feel a letdown coming on this one Superhero Movie: It's a spoof on superhero movies Iron Man The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian I was a fan of the books growing up, and I loved the first one Indiana Jones IV The Incredible Hulk: It's good that they know what was bad about the first one Get Smart: I grew up on this show Hellboy II: The Golden Army The Dark Knight The Mummy III: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor It's got Jet Li in it. How can that suck? Where The Wild Things Are: This is going to be huge for the kids Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: I'm a Potter nerd Star Trek: I'm also a sci-fi nerd What do you think? I predict another record year for movie theaters. What movies are you personally looking forward to next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I've already told friends, if Indy utters the phrase (or anything similar to it) "I'm getting too old for this shit" I'm going to walk out of the picture theatre.

JackFetch Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 These guys have put together a great list of their 20 top anticipated movies for 2008. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/opinions/...lms-of-2008.php I completely forgot about Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and Be Kind Rewind looks funny as hell from the trailer. btw if any of you have HDNet, they have a show called Nothing but Trailers. It's pretty cool to be able to watch them in HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The Mummy III: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor It's got Jet Li in it. How can that suck? And Randy Couture! Wrong sequel. Although it is interesting that the spinoff Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian is out the same year as Mummy III. Since one is (I would hope) straight to video I'm betting they won't try to cultivate any association between the two. DKR, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Hellboy II, Indy IV and Star Trek have me pumped, but right now I'm mostly waiting on the UK release of Juno in Feb. Diary of the Dead? That looks interesting. I'm astonished that its an indy film but I guess he won't have trouble with a distributor or finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 What do you think? I predict another record year for movie theaters. What movies are you personally looking forward to next year? Does anyone know a site that lists each year and top movies, adjusted for inflation? I thought IMDB had it, but couldn't find it. I saw the list once and apparently Gone with the Wind is still the greatest grossing movie of all time, with the figures adjusted. I hate it when studios report the biggest year yet, with more studios active, therefore more screens and tickets costing more, of course each year will go close to being the biggest Hang on, I foudn it. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm That looks like it's only the US, would like an adjusted worldwide one..

JackFetch Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/records/ I can't find the list you're looking for, but they have almost every other list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/records/ I can't find the list you're looking for, but they have almost every other list. I did some more searching and it is pretty much impossible to do a worldwide list adjusted to inflation. The reason is the changes in world currency markets, how ticket prices differ around the globe and a host of other economic factors not related to the industry would make it nigh on impossible. Still, the US one does illustrate the point, people really aren't in to new movies as much as studios would have us believe. The only inflation adjusted one is the "All Time Gross" list. Opening weekend, fastest 100million etc don't mean shit if ticket prices keep going up and there are more screens. What about in 100 years when movie tickets are $50. It will be a biggest weekend of $750 million and no-one will care about Spidermans numbers, even though they may still be superior (but probably not comapred to Empire Strikes Back opening weekend).
