Haha. Happened upon EW's predictions for Summer '08. Way off.



1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
$355.9 million
After all these years, will audiences be interested in some old guy in a fedora? Uh, yeah.

2. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
$310.8 million
The first movie made $292 million, and that was without a hottie prince in the lead role.

3. Hancock
$280.4 million
Will Smith. Superhero. July 4 weekend. 'Nuff said.

4. WALL-E
$280.3 million
If a Pixar film about a French rat can gross more than $200 mil, we suspect this adorkable robot is platinum-plated.

5. Iron Man
$262.7 million
He's no Spidey, but he gets a bump for being the first movie of the summer. And that suit has fanboys near fainting.

6. The Dark Knight
$255.0 million
Batman Begins made $205 mil, and the power of Heath Ledger's last performance, as the Joker, should take this higher.

7. Kung Fu Panda
$224.6 million
Never underestimate the kid-pleasing power of cute animals with attitude. Even Madagascar scored $193 mil.

8. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
$176.5 million
The last one made more than $200 million, but it's been seven years. And this one doesn't have The Rock.

9. The Incredible Hulk
$147.2 million
No, the buzz ain't great, but even Ang Lee's much-maligned version earned $132 mil.

10. Tropic Thunder
$142.6 million
It's got a killer Tom Cruise cameo and will be summer's top comedy. But an R rating limits grosses.

I hope Harvey's not dead. I want to see more of that awesome makeup.

I am not saying anything bad about Brian Cox; anthiony hopkins is lecter to me, but Brian Cox is close to 20 unique characters to me. Id say that makes him a better actor in my opinion ;)

better lector - better movie.

Cox will be Lector for me not just because he was better, and the movie was better than the others ... but also - i saw it first.

I liked Red Dragon best (only because Ed Norton's my favorite actor). But I thought Cox was a better Hannibal as well.

Tropic Thunder has knocked Dark Knight from the #1 spot for the weekend.

But Batman has also topped the new Star Wars film for the weekend and defeated Luke and co. to be America's second highest-grossing film.

I'd say I liked Red Dragon best out of the Hannibal series too, however I havn't seen Manhunter yet, I probably should though, my uncle worked on it.

I thought it was stupid (and I liked Zoolander, by the way, not that kind of stupid). Robert Downey Jr. and Danny McBride are really funny but the ending was really bad and Tom Cruise's little part (save one scene) was fucking terrible.

I like how much emphasis you guys put on how much money this movie is making, and yet would hate to have someone say Titanic was a better movie.

This movie could never have made more money than Titanic.
Titanic was a better movie.

TDK was really good for a summer blockbuster though. :)

Are you joking? Carey was okay in the role but Lee Jones was just trying to be joker all the time. He's usually a good actor but in that, he let himself down.

Don't knock the actors - about 95% of what went wrong with Batman Forever was because of the script. Jones did as much as he could with the material, but it was just so poorly written and so fr from the character to start with that it was just doomed.

Nope. I feel nothing toward that statement.

I know the writers gave them those lines but Jones could have delvered them differently.

no freakin way.
the better movie doesn't always make more money too. You have to remember, a lot of people have shitty taste.

Those lines fit perfectly with the direction though. The direction was shitty, but Jones' delivery was perfect for that mood. It would have been that much more awkward and stupid if Tommy Lee Jones gave a dark, great, creepy performance set against the candy-colored, kid-friendly mood of the rest of the film.

ferretchucker 08-19-2008 10:01 AM
Yes it was a child friendly film but I just think a carbon copy of the joker was stupid. Yes, the writers and the directors are to blame as well but Jones is aswell. He could have worked the lines differently. That's just my opinion.

I just saw an employee from a local movie theater taking down the Dark knight poster and replacing it with something else, i guess its leaving theaters.

ferretchucker 09-05-2008 07:49 AM

Did you get the poster?

It probably isn't leaving just no need for the poster anymore...
