Re: Summer '08: Predictions?
I had thought SPEED RACER as a lock to tank, but some of the buzz from people who've seen the film in its rough form is actually quite positive.
INDY will make a sh!tload...WALL*E is gonna be massive...PINEAPPLE EXPRESS could be another surprise hit a la SUPRBAD, though personally I think it looks stupid.
HANCOCK looks equally underwhelming, but you never bet against Will Smith when it comes to his ability to open even a lackluster pic.
TROPIC THUNDER will be a massive hit.
MUMMY 3: is there ANY interest in this film?
And so on....

Re: Summer '08: Predictions?
I agree, I think Pineapple Express read very well, but the trailer looks terrible ... bad casting re: Franco, and wrong tone for the direction. The guy they picked to direct apparently has done a bunch of afterschool special, coming of age type flicks. Not sure why he got this gig. I predict disappointment there.
I'm surprised that some have said bad things about Hancock -- all I've seen is that trailer, and it looks brilliant. Though the trailer could be misleading. If it is an accurate portrayal of the film in general, I think Hancock will be huge. An irresponsible slacker given superpowers. I love it, wish I'd thought of it.
Also huge, I predict:
Wall E (Pixar's latest toon, always a good bet, and this one looks really cute)
Indy (of course)
Iron Man (the teaser trailer is tremendous, hope that translates)
Tropic ThunderLast edited by winter dreams; 04-03-2008, 12:19 PM.

Re: Summer '08: Predictions?
I don't see Indy making more than 250 mil US. Wouldn't be surprised if Wall E outshines it."I ask every producer I meet if they need TV specs they say yeah. They all want a 40 inch display that's 1080p and 120Hz. So, I quit my job at the West Hollywood Best Buy."
