What will be the top grossing film in 2008?

[FaT_tONle]

That's a tough one! Personally, I look foward to the next BatMan. Iron Man & Wolverine for sure too.

T'will be a down year for Marvel with no big time hits... WOlverine is a Batman begins tops... which is decent... Iron Man could be another FF4 making even less... too many other big movies out there... Avatar will do okay... Indy 4 will be a killer... and too many other good summer flicks out there...

 

[Majik1387]

Will someone please explain what Avatar is?

 

[Symbiote Hulk]

Terminator 4

 

[Speedball]

Alot of fours up there.
I say Indiana Jones.
Everyone loves Indiana Jones, if you don't, then you aren't human.

 

[explode7]

You guys are overestimating BB2. The most Batman will do is 200M Domestic

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ I think Batman Begins had a dissapointment box office on the front end because of the prior films. Now that people know how great this series is the sequel do better than the original.

Just GOOGLE "James Cameron Avatar" and you'll see.

 

[Majik1387]

Avatar=Some of the dumbest crap I ever googled.

 

[U.S War Machine]

Indiana 4 will make a good comeback I think

 

[Cinemaman]

I dont think Avatar is good idea.

Just look at Final Fantasy, I dont want movie to be full of CGI and dead acting.

I doubt Cameron's movie will be hit.

Where's Hulk 2 in the list? It's already been reported that there's a director for this movie and they're going to announce him at the ComicCon next week.

 

[britrogue]

I'm very loyally going for Indy 4.

Yeah yeah, but they dont have even cast and crew.

Neither does Iron Man or JP4, and Wolverine only has Hugh Jackman. Not saying those won't be coming out in 2008, but Hulk is in the same stages as those are, with a writer and a director already attached and possibly Bana or the others that were rumored to be Banner.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

I think BB2 will be the top grossing film of 2008

 

[aaron]

No way will BB2 gross more than Indy 4

The filming of IM will start in February. And it has crew

Not 150 million dollars better... I want to see this movie raking in 350 million with each flick but I don't think it can get there ever... hence we prolly won't see a new trilogy any time soon

 

[Cinemaman]

BB was a bit disappointment in box office, but it made good numbers for $150m budget.

Also it made high numbers in DVD sales.

So I am sure BB2 will make $240-260m.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

This is a tough one...

I want to say AVATAR just because of how huge James Cameron's movies usually are, but it's unpredictable. NARNIA was a dark horse that ran away with King Kong's thunder last year at the B.O. HARRY POTTER films always do well. I'm not really sure how popular INDY is, but Spielberg's always a draw, especially when he's doing summer blockbusters. The X-Men movies have grown in popularity, so WOLVERINE might make a lot of bank, but I feel a little iffy about that one. And there's no doubt that BATMAN BEGINS 2 will make a lot of money, but I don't think it'll make enough to be the highest grosser. Soo... for now I'm gonna go with INDY 4. But I don't feel comfortable with that guess at all.

 

[socalsam]

i hope it will be iron man

 

[batman7289]

Batman Begins 2 will kick ass at the box office, indy wont do to good (ford is tooo old)

 

[JackBauer]

I still doubt IJ4 will ever see the light of day.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

I don't see Indy, JP or Die Hard ever coming out. If Indy does come out, it will in no way make more than $200 million, Indy has lost all it's steam, he was a great '80s character, but isn't gonna work well 19 years after the last one came out much like Superman Returns. Besides, it's way too early to think about 2008 movies.
