DISQUS

I think Year One is going to completely underperform, possibly as much as Observe and Report. I've seen the Year One trailer a few times, and it doesn't seem to have anything original from either of its leads.

Well, it's always a crap shoot. Great list, but I think you might be underestimating Public Enemies. People loves some Johnny Depp, and if it's even decent, it could be a good action alternative to people who know that something like Transformers 2 will be just as insulting as the first one. Blah blah, eye candy, blah blah.

Kind of a depressing summer if you ask me. Too many things I'm almost sure are going to get messed up...ala Salvation.

Terminator AT LEAST $300 million. Funny people $150 million. And Up will destroy Ice Age

Every one of those movies are good, so we don't know yet which one will be a summer box office for sure when they come out.

I'm interested to see whether or not your prediction that Star Trek does better than Terminator will come true. I'm going to disagree, since I think the Terminator franchise is more well known, whereas I think up until now the Star Trek franchise has always been catering to the Treckies, and ostracizing everyone else. Who knows, maybe this reboot will pull a Batman Begins on everyone. I groaned when I saw Harry Potter at the top spot, because you're probably right, and that's exactly why it was pushed back to the same release date as last year's Dark Knight. Here's to hoping Revenge of the Fallen keeps Potter out of the top spot.

For the future, can you make these lists? It makes it easier to email to my short-attention spanned friends.

1. Hair-pot - mainly because of the fan-base and it's been bumped down to a PG rating. -380 mil
2. Transformers - just because it's a big-ass action movie, and it's the right time for a big-ass sequel. -350 mil
3. Terminator - made a shit-load back then, now it's got Christian Bale and a PG-13 rating. -300 mil
4. Wolverine - I think this will be around Terminator in terms of success, just because it's x-men -290 mil
5. Star Trek - JJ Abrams hasn't really been part of an unsuccessful film/series, and the buzz is good, and the anticipation is high -280 mil

all the rest: Angels and Demons - 250 mil, Up - 230 mil, Ice Age- 230 mil, Night at the Museum- 210 mil, Funny People- 150 mil, Bruno - 80 mil, Public Enemies -80 mil, Year One -80 mil, Pelham 123 - 60 mil, G.I. Joe -55 mil, Inglorious Basterds -40 mil
