JackFetch Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Put your predictions on what the top 5 movies of the summer will be. mine: 1. Transformers 2 2. Terminator: Salvation 3. Up 4. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 5. Star Trek I think G.I. Joe could be a sleeper and make the list. Harry Potter has only G.I. Joe coming after it to slow it down, so I'm betting Joe does better than expected and keeps it from being higher on the list. Up is only there because it's a Pixar movie, and really doubt it will be as good as past movies. Star Trek is a hard one to figure out, but I'm betting it's this years Iron Man.

SuaveStar Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well, I agree with your list Jack. I would say Pixar's won't be as great, but somehow except for a bugs life, they have always been awesome, yet so simple movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looks like I might be right about G.I. Joe being bigger than people expect. They already started the TV campaign and it doesn't come out for 3 more months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, take Terminator off the list. It tanked. That means G.I. Joe will move up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 1. Transformers 2 2. Star Trek 3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 4. Up 5. X-Men Origins: Wolverine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't see Star Trek getting 300 million. It's already dropped to 4th after 3 weeks and it hasn't made 200 million yet. Up comes out this weekend which will dominate and kill everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Up has already been knocked out of first after only a week. This definitely changes things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 It looks like Up actually retained the top spot this week, but just barely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Up will make more money over the summer with the just over five market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 ok, I just made a post that disappeared. Only 30 grand separating first and second is amazing. If anything worth a crap came out before Transformers 2 Up would be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 The numbers I saw showed a $900,000 gap between Up and The Hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Transformers is a movie people will only see once in the cinema, or wait for the HD experince at home. Up, like i said is a family movie, and it's going to make a lot. Also, worldwide, Up isn't out for months over here or australia, well that's what Wikipedia says.

JackFetch Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I was wrong. It's a million and 31 thousand according to http://boxoffice.com/numbers/. That's still amazing since Up was supposed to run away with it, and Hangover was supposed to be in third. I still stand by what I said. If anything big were to come out this week or next Up would suffer badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well what have we got still to come? Off the top of my head: Transformers. Gi Joe. Harry Potter. That's all I can think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delete Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 How big is Public Enemies supposed to be? It has got Depp and Bale in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 They changed the Sunday numbers and The Hangover ended up in first. That was a crazy weekend for a rated R comedy beating a Pixar movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well what have we got still to come? Off the top of my head: Transformers. Gi Joe. Harry Potter. That's all I can think of right now. Assuming nothing comes out of nowhere again that's it. The only thing I see that might do well is Bruno, but I highly doubt it.

JackFetch Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 This is going to be the worst box office numbers for a summer in years. Right now Star Trek is the number one movie with 230 million. Last year the top 3 movies were all above 300 million, and in 2007 the top 4 were all above 300 million. There are only 2 blockbusters left for the summer and if what I'm hearing about GI Joe's test screenings are true that movie is going to flop.

SuaveStar Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 To think, it's only June and their is next to nothing big after Transformers and GI Joe to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 How big is Public Enemies supposed to be? It has got Depp and Bale in it. Doesn't have the feel of a summer movie though, you know? Probably the most interesting one of the lot, if you ask me. I can't wait to see it. Been a while since there was a good Dillinger film. Regardless, it's Michael Mann so it deserves a watch. That was a crazy weekend for a rated R comedy beating a Pixar movie. I like to see a well made comedy defeat any cookie cutter Pixar film. I can't wait to see Hangover! It'll unfortunately have to be on DVD unless it comes to my town (ie: DVD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Public Enemies looks to be the film that won't bring in the big money at the box office, but will receive the most critical acclaim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Watch Public Enemies. My little sister's guitar teacher should appear somewhere in one of the hotel shots. (Look for a ginger haired guy who looks like the kid from A Year Without Santa Claus.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
