Author Topic: Top Grosser 2007? Russ Kress Expert Film Handler Posts: 202 From: Charleston, WV, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-15-2007 08:49 PM                        While it's not the top (and it actually came out in 2006), I was pleasantly surprised at how well "We Are Marshall" did not only in WV, but in VA as well. It's still grossing well in our Virginia theatres as of right now. Heck! We're in VT country!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-15-2007 11:17 PM                        I thought this was going to be a prediction thread. What the hell, I'll predict anyway....it's going to be "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." 2nd place: the Harry Potter movie. I'm hoping "Ratatouille" does well but, Pixar might have a tougher time with this one.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 01-16-2007 01:32 AM                     I think it will be Pirates 3, Shrek 3 and while most of the gross will occur in '08, possible National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-16-2007 06:35 AM                     What about Spider-man 3?  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 01-16-2007 08:02 AM                     My predictions: 1. Pirates 3 2. Spider-Man 3 3. Shrek 3 4. Harry Potter  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-16-2007 09:45 AM                     Not The Simpsons Movie? Everyone under thirty is gonna see that film.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2007 01:00 PM                        I have to admit I forgot about Spider-Man. I'm revising my prediction: I think Spidey will be #2. Simpsons - should be big, but getting all their couch potato fans off the couch? Might be a toughie. I thought the trailer that was attached to "Museum" was hilarious, but people here barely chuckled at it. I'm not sure what to think about Shrek 3. I think it'll be big, but it might get drowned in the May madness, and the trailers I've seen are not really ... very good. Whatever happens, I think we're in for a very good summer overall.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Had it been released at the height of the show's popularity it would have been one of the highest grossing moviers of all time, IMO. My picks (not in any particular order): Pirates 3 Shrek 3 Spider-Man 3 Harry Potter  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-16-2007 10:11 PM                     Is your release schedule as hectic as the UK then? The summer sees a probable blockbuster open every two to three weeks.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2007 10:44 PM                        Apparently it's even worse here. The month of May alone has three potential blockbusters (Shrek, Pirates, Spidey) and a lot of other decent players. As usual, August gets short shrift.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 01-17-2007 01:18 AM                     THe only movie I see doing well in August is Rush Hour 3, and that's still debatable.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 01-17-2007 11:10 PM                     I think the Bourne Ultimatum will do well in August as well.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 01-19-2007 09:52 AM                     I think everybody is missing "Transformers" on the top grosser list. It's really hard to figure out the top from the rest of the list. Harry Potter will do well but won't do over $300 million. The three thirds you would think will all do over $300 million but having them all released in the same month will probably hurt.  |  IP: Logged John T. Hendrickson, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 889 From: Freehold, NJ, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-19-2007 04:17 PM                     That could be true, Lyle. But then again, can you spell L-E-G-S? Let's hope so.  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 01-20-2007 12:36 AM                     I disagree about the Transformers being a huge blockbuster. It will not appeal to a large variety of people. I don't see women or families being interested.  |  IP: Logged
