  - Ay! -- nm - Diva May 29, 10:59
Just realized that we could have 3 movies this year north of 500 mil - eag May 29, 10:53 47
- oh, hey, the Hobbit comes out in December. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 11:02 3
  - Probably not enough time to get there unless we're going by release date only. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 29, 11:08 2
    - It's pretty much the year of the release, even if the money comes in the next calendar year -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:09 1
      - Gotcha. (Though I still think it misses.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 29, 11:10
- What's the 3rd? - Will Hunting May 29, 10:55 42
  - Dark Knight Rises - eag May 29, 10:56 41
    - Then what's the other one? Avengers and TDK are the only 2 I'm thinking of. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:57 40
      - what does anyone guess Spiderman's going to do? -- nm - JenBro May 29, 10:59 19
        
        I'm thinking 225mil. - Will Hunting May 29, 11:00 17
        
        higher but not 500 million. I think it tops $350 -- nm - Remlik May 29, 11:05 6
        
        Don't Green Lantern this. -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 11:15
        
        I'm probably the most pessimistic person around on this -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:11 4
        
        The early word on the movie is not good from what I've heard. -- nm - MDH May 29, 11:12 3
        
        grain of salt: I've read the opposite...so who knows. -- nm - Remlik May 29, 11:15
        
        Heh -- nm - Roger More May 29, 11:13
        
        Oh, I mean in terms of money. I expect it to be bad quality wise. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:13
        
        Maybe, and I agree with your IM, though it actually looks better than the originals. - Don Homer May 29, 11:01 4
        
        I agree the trailer looks good, but the early word I'm hearing is the movie is not good. Grain of salt though because i heard on the Internet. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 11:06
        
        see I thought the trailer looked really good too ... - JenBro May 29, 11:05 1
        
        yes, looks alot less cartoonish -- nm - Beaker May 29, 11:17
        
        the trailer was definitely neat -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 11:03
        
        Indeed - hmm. What about Skyfall and Twilight? -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 11:01 4
        
        175mil and 325mil -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:02 1
        
        *Likes* -- nm - MDH May 29, 11:03
        
        "Skyfall" will be lucky to hit $200 I think, and Twilight barely makes $300. -- nm - MDH May 29, 11:02 1
        
        Yeah, $200m for a Bond movie is optimistic. twilight movies make all their money opening weekend then collapse. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 11:05
        
        312.50 -- nm - decline May 29, 10:59
      - did Hunger Games get there? nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:58 1
        
        Internationally, yes -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 10:59
      - Hunger Games is just 5 mil short of 400 mil has a slight shot at 500 -- nm - eag May 29, 10:58 9
        
        It's not guaranteed to pass $405 million. -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 11:00
        
        It made 2mil this weekend. It's not even a lock to get to 400mil. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:59
        
        It's $100M short and earning $2M a week. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 10:59 6
        
        Yeah my goof no shot at 500 mil will probably make 400 mil -- nm - eag May 29, 11:03
        
        Where is Avengers going to end up? -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 11:01 4
        
        600-625 seems like the range. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 11:03
        
        My rough guess...it scrapes 600mil. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:01 2
        
        Any shot at #2 Titanic? -- nm - eag May 29, 11:04 1
        
        Not likely given the 3D release. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:05
      - Prometheus has potential -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 10:58 7
        
        If it gets to half of 500mil, the studio is counting it as a tremendous win. - Will Hunting May 29, 10:58 5
        
        I think if it hits 200M the studio will be beside itself. -- nm - MDH May 29, 11:01 4
        
        Why the doubt on Prometheus? (I've been wondering about how it will go myself) -- nm - Roger More May 29, 11:11 2
        
        Well if you could decipher the impenetrable marketing, that's more than I can say for myself -- nm - con_carne May 29, 11:20
        
        High level Sci-Fi is a hard sell to the general public. -- nm - MDH May 29, 11:19
        
        I think you're under by at least 75M. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 11:04
        
        Hahahaha, no. -- nm - MDH May 29, 10:58

NMB Groiny - Disney in October for Halloween is another of my friends most FAVORITE times to visit the park - apparently they do it up BIG! -- nm - JenBro May 29, 10:50 6

- 1992 - Unforgiven, Last of the Mohicans, Few Good Men, Reservoir Dogs , Glengarry Glen Ross - Name Withheld By Request May 29, 10:57 2
  - Most of those are not summer films. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 11:01 1

kids do not like waiting 10 minutes to do anything, let alone an hour. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:40 25
- You should watch almost all the movies on that list you haven't seen. - the wrong element, bad guy May 29, 10:42 1
  - no no, I have seen them all, just not in the theater. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:43
- *shakes head* kids these days. - znufrii May 29, 10:42 20
  - 98 degrees w/o heat index and you deal with 2 kids melting down in a line that is 2 hours long. no thanks. My time is worth more than that. -- nm - Remlik May 29, 10:52 3
    - Which is why everyone should just go to Disneyland in Anaheim -- nm - con_carne May 29, 11:19
    - 98 degrees plus humidity means I'm going home. -- nm - loosilu May 29, 10:53
    - agreeance. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:52
  - "Suck it up Princess" - Andie May 29, 10:47
  - *randomly kills 3 people ahead of him in line* My son won't be the one to worry about waiting in line. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:46
  - You should teach them the pointfulness of standing in a slow-moving line. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:46 7
    - I suppose with smartphones and such, the waiting is easier now - groiny May 29, 10:47 5
      - i can remember being at Disney as a kid and seeing those signs "There is a one hour wait from this point". - Andie May 29, 10:49 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        it's a straight up fallacy, the lines suck. but that's the way it is. -- nm - Andie May 29, 10:56
      - Personally, standing for an hour would drive me nuts. The only reason I have a smartphone is that it makes waiting bearable. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:48 1
