Predict The Biggest Near Future Flop...

[Sawyer]

Why isn't this on the list?

I think flop implies that people actually care about it, and then it fails.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Hulk. It looks like it's very "by-the-books" and I think even stupid Americans are getting bored of that.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Speed Racer

Why isn't this on the list?

Possible cult classic?

 

[fabman]

Hulk. It looks like it's very "by-the-books" and I think even stupid Americans are getting bored of that.

Do you mean that it looks very generic with that?

 

[Gamma Ray]

Do you mean that it looks very generic with that?

It looks like it will be another commonplace action movie. Story, fight, story, fight, fight, end.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Speed Racer, looks like utter ****

Wanted, looks really stupid, "wow I can curve a bullet"

Yeah... well... yeah....

...

It DOES look generic

 

[Sentinel X]

I agree with you Bigot Ray!

 

[Figs]

Good to know I'm not the only one that picked Street Fighter.

 

[Gamma Ray]

I agree with you Bigot Ray!

Not sure how that makes sense, but I want Hulk to be great and I'm hoping for a surprise, but I'm expecting close to nothing.

Watch that turn out to be funny.

Watch that turn out to be funny.

Only if Disney execs bludgeon me for a half hour or so before I watch it...

 

[mclay18]

I don't think The Happening and X-Files: I Want to Believe will bomb... but you never know, but those two films will probably be the only moneymakers for Fox this year.

M. Night has had two flops in a row. Clearly the audience doesn't care about him anymore. As for X-Files...that'll most likely be a modest hit. I don't expect that to be big or anything.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm surprised how many have said Speed Racer as a flop, it's one of the few out of the box movies this summer.

Me neither. I love the Hulk...I really do but the new movie looks like crap. I'll watch it nonetheless but I dont think itll be much good.
And I actually enjoyed Ang Lee's Hulk.

How long have you been here, HR? You should know that people here are haters. Speed Racer isn't going to flop. Its a PG rated family film. It'll be one of the years biggest movies.

I know haters exist here Cat but not usually ones that mix their bias with their sense in this type of poll that isn't based off what you like, I mean i fully expect all BO polls to have "TDK will cream dem Allz!!!!" but this just seems illogical even on SHH.

 

[Golgo-13]

I really think that James Camerons aleady overhyped Sci-Fi pic, AVATAR is gonna be a major flop.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I'm thinking Meet Dave will flop. But The Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones, Speed Racer, Hellboy II, Hancock, Iron Man, Wall-E, and The Dark Knight will make a lot of cash at the box office.

Anyone who thinks the Incredible Hulk will flop is kidding themselves and expect a repeat of the disappointment with Ang Lee's Hulk. As far as Speed Racer? No way it will flop. If Speed Racer flops, when it as everything in its favor as far as family entertainment, then I'll definitely be surprised for sure. But seriously as far as flops are concerned? I say Meet Dave, The Love Guru, and Wanted will be the upcoming flops in my opinion.

It is and that is while it will flop. If it looked more "normal" it would probably do better.

Anyway I don't expect "What Happens in Vegas" will flop. It looks HORRID, but counterprogramming chick flicks always do well when the other options are action movies and Diaz has found a niche in that market.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Speed Racer & Dragonball.

Anyone who says TDK, IM & (especially, since it's the most watched trailer ever) Indy IV is a d****.

Like I said, Speed Racer will definitely not flop. Parents will be bringing their kids to the movie and it wouldn't surprise me if it's one of the biggest movies of this Summer.

 

[Victarion]

I love Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z to death, they're a big part of my childhood...but I'm feelin' a flop.

 

[The Chairman]

There's quite a few potential flops up there, but Meet Daves looks to be the surest bet.
