Which summer movie will be the highest grossing film of 2012?

Really? From all of the trailers I have seen. It seems obvious to me that the DKR is kind of lame, and the Avengers appears to be AWESOME.

 

For DKR, trust in the excellence of Christopher Nolan.

I hadn't heard of the movie Brave before this thread, but it looks pretty cool!

MIB3 could be the sleeper in this pole...

The average person hasn't heard of the Avengers but EVERYONE knows Batman so that will take it over the line I think. I can't wait for both and I think the Avengers movie will be brilliant.

Anyone heard and reports about the upcoming Dredd movie?

Haven't seen any trailers as of yet but I don't think it will break any box office records somehow...

Hunger Games will top them all -- and will probably still be playing when summer officially (June 21) rolls around.

 

+1

I can see "Dark Knight" grossing higher than "Hunger Games", but that`s about it.

 

I thought Hunger Games was a weak movie.

 

Did the title of this thread just magically change from "highest grossing film" to "highest critically rated film"?

 

No.

Just back from seeing the Hunger Games at 2:40 on a Friday afternoon. Realizing this is a semi-holiday, but the 500 seat theater was sold out. Hunger Games will be the biggest grossing movie in quite some time.

 

Oh, and I thought the movie was excellent. Got a little dusty in that room when Rue died.

Notwithstanding your anecdotal experience, its 2nd week grosses were less than half of its first week, thus falling short under the immutable half life rule that separates the run of the mill blockbusters from the juggernaut blockbusters.

 

Still, it`s a long weekend so maybe its grosses in the 3rd week could fall less than 50% from the 2nd week, in which case it could have some serious legs.

I actually enjoyed the first movie a great deal, so hopefully you are right.

[Speedy-D]

Why wouldn't it be Twilight? That's like the hugest thing ever, and so much better than the original...

 

[Bosco685]

Well, Captain America may not have have made the list of highest grossing film for 2011. But it sure will benefit from the Avengers release as a follow-up film.

 

'Captain America 2' set for April 4, 2014: Project will pick up the story line from Marvel's 'Avengers'

I just hope ASM doesn't totally suck!

 

If I see another crying emo parker, I might have to go shoot myself.

I am so disappointed there's no 3 Stooges lovin' here.

As a huge Stooges fan I'll be there opening night.

For some reason that Stooges movie looks to be one of those "so bad it's good" flicks, so I'll definitely check it out just off that.

I just can't figure out what makes the movie so great to some people.

 

Go back to kicking noob's puppies now.

It won't be out in the summer.

It's scheduled for a September release this year.

The core audience for "Hunger Games" isn`t the most critically discerning in the world. Just a few years ago, their favorite movie was "High School Musical".

 

Anyways, I have a hard time accepting criticism of this movie from someone who liked "Transformers" and "Thor".

I never kick noobs` puppies, just the noobs themselves.
