Here are my predictions:

War of the Worlds is going to be VERY AVERAGE, do AVERAGE BOX OFFICE and start all sorts of, "Is Spielberg on the downward spiral? and, "When was the last good Spielberg film?" accusations.

King Kong will be awesome, outdo War of the Worlds in every way, and have the critics saying, "With Lord of the Rings and now the majestic King Kong, Peter Jackson has taken the crown from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas."

Star Wars Episode III will be the best prequel, but only by default. Writing, acting and directing will be as bland as Episodes I and II, but the sheer ammount of lightsaber battles, ties to the original trilogy and the appearence of Darth Vader will make it the most entertaining of the prequels.

Batman Begins will be very much a product of it's time; beginning as a sword-swinging epic with stunning widescreen landscapes, before becoming a darker and much subtler version of Spider-Man. Does very well but not one of the year's top three hits, and doesn't rake in Spider-Man size box office. Critics suggest the superhero craze MAY BE on the wane, finally.

Fantastic Four is the anti-superhero movie snowball picking up speed. Audiences just see it as a yet another comicbook extravaganza, and the critics state the animated The Incredibles had more heart and brains and more convincing characters (you just know the critics will say this WHATEVER FF is like). The relatively small budget compared to Spidey 2, X2 et al means it's somehwat underwhelming as a spectacle. Very average box office.

It's Batman, one of the two films that started the whole superhero craze to begin with. Besides, you are seriously underestimating the mass-appeal of the character. I expect Batman Begins to occupy at least one of the top three slots at the BO come 2005.

1. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
This is Star Wars dude it will make money and plus its the birth of Vader and we get to see Chewbacca. However many thought that Attack of the Clones was going to be the #1 movie of 2002 and it turned out that Spider-Man was the #1 film of 2002 hence why I give Revenge of the Sith a tie with:

1. Batman Begins
This movie is going to try hard not to be tied with Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. This has a very talented cast, and fan-favorites in the roles of Batman, Jim Gordon, Ra's Al Ghul, and Lucius Fox. This film has had nothing but positive hype

3. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter movies tend to get better with each sequel and with a late autumn release this will be Q4's biggest movie

4. King Kong
Peter Jackson of the Lord of the Rings is directing this in a remake of an awesome movie. Many can't wait to see what he will do with it since he is fresh off the Lord of the Rings trilogy

5. Fantastic Four
This will be Marvel's biggest film of 2005.

Movies that will either be very successful or will bomb:

War of the Worlds
If this succeeds this movie could be the #2 or #3 movie of the year. Also this movie has Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielburg. But that didn't stop Minority Report from sucking. This movie will not be faithful to the awesome novel written by H.G Wells and the last Wells novel that was adapted into a film, the Time Machine, sucked horribly. Also from when this movie started and and its release date in July it seems that this movie might be rushed. Hence why it could bomb majorly

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The trailer was dumb in my opinion and people will compare this to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Also Tim Burton's recent films have kinda sucked recently. This movie will be more faithful to the book that the original movie but that was the same thing with Planet of the Apes and look at how that turned out. But if great and successful then this movie will most likely end up at #5

1. Batman began the late 80's/early 90's superhero craze, which gave us shameless rip-offs like Darkman and The Shadow. As just about any of the gentlemen here will tell you, Blade and X-Men actually started the current superhero craze.

2. Underestimating the mass-appeal of the character? Mass appeal is not enough, my friend. Mass-appeal didn't help Batman & Robin. And the character certainly had less mass appeal after Batman & Robin.

Look at the competition. Harry Potter 4. Peter Jackson's King Kong. Spielberg's War of the Worlds. STAR WARS EPISODE III. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe. I love Batman and I love the Batman movies (obviously not that one), but don't see Batman Begins making the top three against this competition.

Heres my predictions.

1. Batman Begins:nothing but positive hype. People say theyve seen it on screen and spiderman made so much because it had never been seen. Well, noone has ever seen THIS story of batman. And plus, if the star wars prequels have prooved anything, its that from a marketable standpoint, the return of a hero is bigger then the begining. Episode one marked the return of star wars. People had seen star wars, but never seen this story. Same goes for Batman Begins. Spiderman was the begining, and was a better film then episode one, but if they each opened today, episode one has 521 million, spiderman 421 million. You do the math on which was more successful. the begining of the hero,or the return of the hero?The return of the hero makes it easier to hype, because people are already familiar with the character which makes it easier to people in the theaters to see it.This film marks the birth and the return to the silver screen for one of the worlds biggest, most iconic superheros, and it has a kick ass script and amazing cast to boot. Look for Batman to be huge.

2. War Of the Worlds: peopel forget how big independence day was when it hit. Well, it was HUGE! Now take that and add cruise and spielbergs name to it. This will a big a ginormous film. I dont think prediction of 400-500 million domesticaly are accurate, but 300 million i think this film will net.

3. Star wars. Hey its star wars, darth vader, chewy, the ending of the prequels. nuff said. 300 million due to dark tone. notice all dark toned star wars film make LESS then the kiddie ones. (episode one, a new hope-400 million +. episode 2, empire strikes back made atleast 100 million less then the preview one)

4. Kong. Its King FRIGGIN kong. Its peter FRIGGIN jackson. 200 FRIGGIN milliondolalr budget. Naomi FRIGGIN watts. 275 FRIGGIN million.

5. fantastic four. The begining of one of the bigger but lesser known superheros. but the size of the action cannot be that with its 85-90 million dollar budget. Look for this film to kick major ass and be about as big as X2. and also expect chiklis, along with bale from batman, to be made into a list stars.

Fair enough. I mean, they are children's books (whereas Lord of the Rings isn't written for any specific age group, and Harry Potter, although written for children, is also read by all ages). I guess if you missed them as a kid, you wouldn't take much notice as an adult. And there haven't been any major Narnia movies or TV shows, although there has been some half-assed animated film and the BBC's well-meaning but typically-cheap attempt in the late 80's. One thing the BBC did get right is having a huge Aslan, much bigger than any real lion.

ok ill explain better. people say spiderman made so much because a spiderman movie had never been made before. they think batman cant make spiderman sized money because batman movies have been made before. what i am saying is, a movie about characters that have already been made into a movie, can be big. people had seen the movie star wars in 1999. people have seen the movie batman in 2005. but noone had seen the story episode one told, and noone has seen the story begins tells.

There have been James Bond movies for forty years and people still go to see them. The franchise was considered dead after the Tim Dalton movies and got to a new popularity prime with Brosnan.

Actually, it was the incredible mass appeal of the Batman brand that helped a campy ass suckfest like B&R gross over a 100 million at the U.S BO alone. Now, take that brand appeal, add in BB's nothing but positive hype, 6 script reviews (all of them enthusiastically optimistic about the direction this film is headed in), darker and more mature themes, an incredible cast (which includes real actors like Michael Caine, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman) - all of it under the supervision of the man who gave us Insomnia and Memento and its hard not to get excited about this film.

Look at the competition. Harry Potter 4. Peter Jackson's King Kong. Spielberg's War of the Worlds. STAR WARS EPISODE III. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe. I love Batman and I love the Batman movies (obviously not that one), but don't see Batman Begins making the top three against this competition.

The only real threat to Batman IMO is Episode III. Spielberg's reputation as an infalllible filmmaker has faded away thanks to A.I and The Terminal. Peter Jackson's film opens in late Q4 to pose any serious threat (though it just might gross more than BB, we'll see). The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Never heard of it. As for Harry Potter vs Batman, when it comes to popularity, I think it is painfully obvious which one has the upper hand.

I understand now, thanks for clearing that up. I only agree with you to a point, though. Audiences will see a new Star Wars movie because Star Wars is story-driven.

What's the story of any Batman movie? Some new lunatic(s) arrive in Gotham, Batman must defeat them whilst engaging in the obligatory romance.

Actually it's Batman who arrives in Gotham in Batman Begins. The freaks are in Gotham already. And the romance is very, very low key, nowhere near the level of Peter Parker and MJ. This story is about the Dark Knight and that alone will tell audiences that this is a very different from the previous films which focused mainly on the villains.

You're absolutely right about B&R's box office, I realised that after I posted. Indeed, it was Batman's mass appeal that let Warner Bros spend so much on such a lame duck and release it in the first place.

But the mass audience is still going to have Batman & Robin in their heads, which is why Warner Bros took so long to get this movie into production in the first place.

The only real threat to Batman IMO is Episode III. Spielberg's reputation as an infalllible filmmaker has faded away thanks to A.I and The Terminal. Peter Jackson's film opens in late Q4 to pose any serious threat (though it just might gross more than BB, we'll see). The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Never heard of it. As for Harry Potter vs Batman, when it comes to popularity, I think it is painfully obvious which one has the upper hand.

Harry Potter vs Batman should be a movie in itself. Anyway, Batman may have over six decades on his side, but nothing is hotter than Potter right now. A new book is coming out this year, which has already had ridiculous advance orders. Harry Potter, as we know, appeals to all age groups, and many families. Batman Begins is going to be darker and more adult, and certainly won't appeal to such a wide age range. It won't be Spider-Man, that's for sure.

Having said that, every previous Batman film has been one of the biggest movies of it's year in terms of both publicity and box office. Batman was the biggest of 1989, Batman Returns only beaten by Aladdin and The Bodyguard (what sort of person would watch The Bodyguard rather than Batman Returns?!) in '92, and Forever was second to Toy Story in '95. In '97, the summer was considered beforehand as a face-off between Batman (and Robin) and The Lost World.

I don't know. That's the basic story of any superhero movie. At the end of the day, Batman is going to be defending Gotham from supervillains, romancing a girl, etc. The rules of the genre dictate that. Chris Nolan may make Begins have a more complex story and more developed characters, but it's like The Living Daylights or On Her Majesty's Secret Service or Licence to Kill - at the end of the day it's still a Bond movie.

The key here is continuity. The Batman movies threw any continuity to space from a movie to the others. The new superhero movies, like the X-Men and Spider-Man, are going more for the notion of an ongoing story, like in comics. According to Goyer, there´s a basic "roadmap" for three of four Batman movies.

That is indeed good news, and also a sign of the times. This idea comes from both the Marvel movies, and also the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series', which are each one big story told in episodes. You can't watch one movie and not see the others, you don't get completion, the whole story.

what is Howl's Moving Castle about?....it seems to be doing great

It's an animated movie from the same guy who made Spirited Away. And like that movie (which made over 200 million worldwide but only around 10 million in North America) makes almost all it's money in Japan

Plot Summary: In the land of Ingary, such things as spells, invisible cloaks, and seven-league boots were everyday things. The Witch of the Waste was another matter. After fifty years of quiet, it was rumored that the Witch was about to terrorize the country again. So when a moving black castle, blowing dark smoke from its four thin turrets, appeared on the horizon, everyone thought it was the Witch. The castle, however, belonged to Wizard Howl, who, it was said, liked to suck the souls of young girls. The Hatter sisters--Sophie, Lettie, and Martha--and all the other girls were warned not to venture into the streets alone. But that was only the beginning. In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem. Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused. The Witch has placed a spell on Howl. Does the clue to breaking it lie in a famous poem? And what will happen to Sophie Hatter when she enters Howl's castle? Diana Wynne Jones's entrancing fantasy is filled with surprises at every turn, but when the final stormy duel between the Witch and the Wizard is finished, all the pieces fall magically into place.

War of the worlds wont do as well as expected.

REVENGE OF THE SITH WILL OWN 2005 PERIOD

as for Batman Begins, it does have mostly good buzz. Probably like 80% good and 20% bad cuz of Goyer's involvement. But it will do decent BO. You see most people don't know this movie is a RESTART and thats a damn shame. People are still pissed cuz of B&R. And then there is a Hulk-like factor. In Hulk there was too much Banner, lil bit of Hulk smash! In BB its a Bruce Wayne story and not enough Batman. That'll piss off the general audience and there will be a big drop off. Oh well.

King Kong, well we'll see how good Peter "buy me some shoes" Jackson is without Tolkien's material. Lets face it, its not like he created his own saga that has grossed billions despite what trolls say. My beef with this is the T-rex is kinda anti-climatic now that in the money making franchise JP has introduced a carnivore dinosaur thats superior plain and simple.

Heres my list-

1. REVENGE OF THE SITH
2.harry potter (why god why?)
3.War of the Worlds
4.Batman Begins
5.Fantastic 4

P.S. if there is a PIXAR movie then that will be #2. I think its "cars".:)

It might but it will drop-off big on the 2nd weekend. Like I said on my previous post, the Hulk-like factor.:batman: It still won't be the #1 movie of year.

KenK

02-24-2005, 12:13 PM

Here's a question, why are some people mad or surprised that Hitch is doing so well?!?! If some of you have seen it and don't like it, fine, but some people(in other threads and other message boards) just don't like romantic comedies in general, so they feel justified in writing it off, rather than believing other people might actually like it. To say nothing of its release the weekend before Valentine's Day! It's a perfect date movie! Couple that with a star that's proven to be box-office gold more often than not, and the fact that the movie is actually quite good(okay, in my opinion, anyway), and you've got a successful film.

Sava

I thought it was. There are your standard romantic comedy staples; jumping to conclusions, momentary break-up, etc, but the cast is great, especially Will and Kevin James when he's helping him get a girl. Hitch is nice because it's not like he's just showing guys how to do good on dates, he genuinely wants to see the men he helps find love and long-term relationships. He actually refuses to help one guy, because it's clear the guy's just looking to get laid. It makes for a cute scene in the movie.

#1- Star Wars - "All Hail the Summer Movie Warlord" The anticipation for this one has cast a long shadow ever since Return of the Jedi came out, granted we all know who Vadar is, but to see Anakin finally succumbing to evil throughout the prequels has been SLIGHTLY entertaining. Lucas and Skywalker Ranch has saved the VERY best for last, no question.

#2- War of the Worlds - With Spielberg going back to his roots, meaning sci-fi has been a long time coming. With him directing it, plus the fact that it has Tom Cruise (I don't think that he has EVER chosen a bad movie)

#3- Fantastic Four - This movie will be REALLY big, not as big as the aforementioned movies because 'The Incredibles' came out (which was a rip-off)

#4- Batman Begins - Sure, yes, it's a new Batman movie. Although I do think BB will do well in the "Summer Movie War", the character doesn't have the same appeal that it used to.

#5- The Longest Yard - Adam Sandler, funny, yes. Chris Rock, funny, yes. Burt Reynolds, making a comeback, yes. Potential good football movie, yes. That's it.

#6- Charlie and the Charlie Factory- I smell something, and it stinks.

XXX: State of the Union: Projection: $25 to 28 million on its way to $75 million.

Comingsoon's predictions for this week's new movies:

The Longest Yard: $37 to 40 million in its first three days, another $8 to 10 million on Memorial Day, on its way to roughly $130 million.

Madagascar: Around $65 million over the four-day holiday weekend with roughly $48-50 million in its first three days. It should be able to hold up its business well over the rest of the summer to end up close to $300 million.

Erzengel

Only 2 CGI movies have made it to 300 million, Shrek 2 and Finding Nemo. I think Madagascar will be around 200-250.

The Honeymooners: $7 to 9 million on its way to around $22 million.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith: $36 to 39 million opening weekend, although it does have a chance at squeaking past $40 million if it gets enough theatres. Either way, its life in theatres might be cut short by impending blockbusters like Batman Begins, Bewitched and War of the Worlds, so it may have trouble making more than $100 million.

Could it be? Robert Rodriguez's first flop (then again, how much did the movie cost)?

That's quite low for MAMS, considering it's budget and all the fuss about Pitt and Jolie. Will be paying close attention to it's international run.

Yeah, they haven't been that good at predicting numbers for different movies. They predicted $300 million as total gross for Madagascar, and as it looks now it will struggle to reach even $200 million

Must say I'm very surprised at the low numbers for Batman Begins so far. The estimated numbers for Friday is only another $15 million, which means it probably will end somewhere between $40 and $50 million for the three day weekend. After all the good reviews it got I was sure it would do a lot better than that.

if it gets a 40 mill weekend, then it will be around The Hulk, which isnt a good thing when they sppent around 180 mill on BB

I know, it's freakin crazy. I went to Batman tonight(Saturday) at the 10 pm show and there was maybe 15 people there!! Same with Cinderalla Man last weekend, maybe a little more but all 20 were at least 60 years old!

There were some pretty good trailers before BB. I'm excited about this summer's movies but I'm a little worried that the FF will not do too great.

Looks like we'll have another movie that will be huge in Far East:

The Associated Press has an interesting article on how "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" haven't been able to keep up with a local comic book movie:

Darth Vader, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are feeling the heat at the box office from an unusual rival - a movie based on a Japanese comic book, directed by Hong Kongers and starring a Taiwanese pop star making his debut in the movies.

"Initial D," the story of a young street car racer, has stunned "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and the action thriller "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," starring Jolie and Pitt, at the Hong Kong box office.

The movie grossed $3.6 million over 10 days as of last weekend. By comparison, the latest Star Wars installment has made just $2.4 million over 46 days. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" fared better, earning $2.8 million in 25 days.
