Since we're getting close to starting up "Summer Movie Season", I was wondering if anyone wanted to make predictions like we did last year for the top movies for 2010. I have to admit, I really didn't see Avatar doing the business it did last year, but it was far and away the number one movie in a pretty big year overall (TF2, Up, New Moon, Star Trek, etc.) It looks like Alice in Wonderland is off to a big early start, with close to $300 million at the box office so far. I'll list a few movies over the next few months that at least have the potential to do well (not saying they'll all be great movies by any means, but maybe have a chance at the box office to do well)....
April
Clash of the Titans
The Losers
Kick-Ass
Nightmare on Elm Street
May
Iron Man 2
Robin Hood
Shrek Forever After
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
June
The A-Team
Marmaduke
Karate Kid
Toy Story 3
Jonah Hex
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
July
The Last Airbender
Despicable Me
Later in the Year....
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Aug)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (Nov)
Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Dec)
Smurfs (Dec)
Yogi Bear (Dec)
Tron: Legacy (Dec)
The Green Hornet (Dec)
I'm sure I missed plenty of them, and some might not exactly be big "box office winners" due to ratings or something else, but I tried to list the majority of the major releases. What is your prediction for the top five for 2010? I don't know if I could rank them, but in no particular order:
Iron Man 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part I
Toy Story 3
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Shrek Forever After
I think there could be some dark horse movies that could do well (maybe not top 5 well), like Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim, and something like Tron could do very well too. Animated movies (aside from Pixar's usual greatness) seem to do well too, so you never know about something like the Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Marmaduke, or Despicable Me. You never know about something like The Last Airbender too, I think a lot of kids were way into that cartoon show.
