BIGGEST Blockbuster of 2010 (Refined)

[Electrofarce]

The other thread was not very good so I'm going to make a new one.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Not sure what number will be, but it won't be these;

Prince of Persia
Green Hornet
The Last Airbender
Taekwon V: The Rebirth
Predators
Tron Legacy
Clash of the Titans
Cats & Dogs 2

i agree, other than TLA and Prince of Persia. TLA has a huge fanbase and the fans are kids and freaky-anime-teens-girls who will bring their families. Prince of persia gives off the vibe of the next POTC for me

Power Rangers released a movie 15 years ago at the height of their popularity and it made just under $40 million. Last Airbender won't get close to the real blockbusters. Does Prince of Persia have a Jack Sparrow type character? Because that was the "x" factor in Pirates success.

Eclipse is trying to do the Harry Potter thing, believing that if they can make as much money as they did in late fall/early winter, they can make even more if they release the next film in the summer. It might even pay off for them moreso than HP. These films make blockbuster money on meager budgets as is, and there's less risk of them losing their target audience to the other films that will be released around the same time.

But I still voted for Iron Man 2. Given your usual trend with these kinds of high-profile comic films, Iron Man 2 has every likelihood of being a better film than the first one, just by virtue of getting the origin stuff out of the way, and building on everything hinted at in the first film that fans (both casual and die-hard) want to see (Nick Fury, War Machine, allusions to Armor Wars. Hell, people are geeking out over Tony's armor with the triangle chest piece alone!). Couple that with Downey's continuing to rise, especially with Sherlock Holmes, and you've got one of the most anticipated films of the year, period.

Domestic or worldwide? Worldwide it is easily going to be Deathly Hallows.

Domestic? It will be a clash between Iron Man 2 and Deathly Hallows. It depends on how successful WB can market the "last film" that really isn't the last film. Iron Man 2 is in position to be another Transformers 2 or POTC2 (except hopefully, y'know, good).

Eclipse will probably play like New Moon. It will open ridiculously big and then it will fade off quick as these movies are not very good and unlike TF2, fanboys aren't going to see it again and again despite it being crap. And I could see The Prince of Persia being a big sleeper hit a la the first Pirates of the Caribbean. My guesses:

Domestic:

1. Iron Man 2
2. Deathly Hallows Part I
3. Eclipse
4. Prince of Persia

Worldwide:

1. Deathly Hallows Part I
2. Iron Man 2
3. Prince of Persia
4. Eclipse

This is based purely on conjecture.

 

[xwolverine2]

Domestic:

1. Iron Man 2
2. Deathly Hallows Part I

Worldwide:

1. Deathly Hallows Part I
2. Iron Man 2

^i agree

but i voted TLA cause you never know lol

 

[Jick]

I'm torn between Iron Man 2, Deathly Hallows and Eclipse.
I know IM2 will be huge because of the first and it certainly will have big marketing. Harry Potter is always successfull and Eclipse...well, we know how it is.
I think it will depend on word of mouth.

 

[Max J Power]

Deathly Hallows. Harry Potter movies almost always win the numbers game.

 

[Project862006]

TLA i think will surprise people

 

[Speedball]

Iron Man 2 will probably be biggest, and Deathly Hallows will be VERY close behind.
I bet The Last Airbender and Prince of Persia will be in the top ten, at the least. Toy Story 3 will be HUGE too, as will Eclipse, despite what everyone on these boards wants. Don't underestimate the power of horny tween girls.

I think your forgetting about Toy story 3, if Up can make almost 300M DOM and over 400M OS, just think what a sequel to a beloved Pixar franchise can do. IMO 350-400 DOM and maybe 500M OS.

DOM:
1.Iron Man 2
2.Toy story 3
3.DH 1
4.Eclipse

WW:
1.DH 1
2/3. Toy story 3/Iron Man 2
4.Eclipse

 

[WarBlade]

Just for the people actually think Iron Man will top the worldwide list...

Reality Check.

Put it this way: Iron Man will probably be in the top 10. t:

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

1. Iron Man 2: 435mil
2. Toy Story 3: 380mil
3.Prince of Persia or The Sorcerer's Apprentice (sorry but I don't have any numbers yet I just know to never count Jerry Bruckheimer out)
4.A complete surprise
5.Eclipse

Also Transformers 2 was pretty f**king frontloaded but I agree nothing was as frontloaded as New Moon but again whocares? The movies have their audience who likes them and they rush it to see it. It's a much more frontloaded Harry Potter franchise. The X-Men movie are also mega frontloaded but they seem to have an audience who comes back to see them. I don't think that Eclispe will do as well as New Moon but I'm giving it a 230mil atleast. My prediction is giant opening and 250 to 270mil total.

The loser I think will be Inception. It looks great and I'll probably love it but I don't see it making back the 200mil budget in the states.

 

[Drizzle]

Domestic:
It'll be a toss up between "Harry Potter", "Toy Story 3", and "Iron Man 2", with "Eclipse" not far behind.

Worldwide:
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"...easily.

 

[keyser_soze]

toy story 3 will win domestic,os and ww. toy story 2 adjusts to 345m without even 3d taken into consideration. i am thinking ts3 can make 500m domestic and 700m os(again 3d being a huge factor).

potter could win os but as a franchise its os gross is on a decline. despite 8 years of inflation mdollar depreciating significantly since 2001 plus new emerging markets like russia,china and india HP1 still continues to be the highest grosser. potter 6 had all time biggest os opening weekend but finished lower than hp5. i am predicting it to make < 650m and make around the same numbers as hp6 domestically(within a boring range of +/- 5%).

inception should hopefully have stunning run and be in top 5 domestic next year.

Is 3D really going to be that big a factor, almost every animated kid's movie is in 3D these days. I think Toy Story will do well, but I don't think the 3D is going to be the selling point like it is for Avatar.

 

[Vengeance]

Iron Man was huge but not super huge (think it got to over 500M) so I'm going to say Toy Story 3, both films before it were huge at the time and I think Pixar have the perfect recipe for their biggest film yet.

 

[Chris B]

I think it'll be Iron Man 2, Harry Potter 7.1, and Toy Story 3 as the top three in that order.

 

[redhawk23]

with twilight being released in IMAX, which adds to the price, sadlly (horrendously) it has a chance of taking it domestically...hopefully not.

but worldwide most definitiely harry potter

 

[Bim]

I voted for Iron Man 2, but Deathly Hollows could take it aswell.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

I really think Toy Story will end up as the worldwide best...or maybe Deathly Hollows...

 

[Sarge 2.0]

I don't know if we can guarantee anything just yet, but I get the feeling that Twilight will continue to rule at the box office.

 

[Crosswind Ghost]

Domestically, Iron Man.

Worldwide, Deathly Hollows by a substantial margin. Deservingly so.

 

[Boom]

None of you have any idea how happy I am that we only have to deal with this Twilight ******** two more times.
