...at least Jon Favreau thinks so.
Talking to the L.A. Times' Hero Complex blog on Monday, the Iron Man director remarked that this coming summer is going to be the toughest crush ever:
"It's Omaha Beach, it's going to be a blood bath," the filmmaker said Friday about next year's crush of big special-effects films, remakes and sequels. "There's never been a summer like this next summer. It's going to be bloody [for filmmakers and the studios]. As we were sticking thumb tacks in a calendar we realized that this is going to be looked back upon as Omaha Beach."

Between...
Thor,
Priest,
Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides,
Kung Fu Panda: the Kaboom of Doom,
X-Men: First Class,
Super 8,
The Green Lantern,
Cars 2,
The Rise of the Apes,
Transformers: The Dark of the Moon,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,
Captain America: The First Avenger,
Favreau's own Cowboys and Aliens,
Smurfs 3-D,
The Change-Up,
The Darkest Hour in 3-D,
Conan 3-D,
Fright Night,
Spy Kids 4,
5nal Destination and
Piranha 3DD
...many would think so, too.
(And in case you're wondering what The Darkest Hour is, it's a $40 million film about American tourists trapped in Moscow after an alien invasion, from producer Timur Bekmambetov.)
