Biggest Movie Of Summer 2007

[rmak]

My money's on Spidey.

[Crusader]

I think the Bourne movie is going to be a huge hit. Pirates, Potter, and Rush Hour 3 will do good too. I think with all the reviews of Spiderman 3, it's gonna tank in comparisson.

[Muran]

I didn't even know The Bourne Ultimatum is coming out this summer...lookin' forward to that...

[Some Random]

probably spiderman or harry potter. i won't see either.

[marx marvelous]

shrek 3 seemed the least offensive option. pirates and spiderman will net lots of $ since most places don't give refunds for terrible films.

[Shiri]

Spider-man, Shrek and Pirates are going to make the most money I think.

[shade]

I can't see any of those getting critical acclaim.

[Azalroth]

Transformers will be sweet...can't wait.

 

Nice to know that there is a new Bourne movie, should be good. Oddly I'll end up watching the Harry Potter Movie...actually upon looking at the list again I"ll likely see all of them at some point in the next year

The question was the biggest movie of '07, not the best, or one with the most critical acclaim. I say Shrek 3 will have the most staying power and make the most money. Even though Pirates and Spidey will have big opening weekends, it won't last that long. Look at Shrek 2, it made more money then both Spidey 2 and Pirates 2. There you go.

[dancing_invisible]

I'd put my moneys on Harry Potter.

[Shiri]

I can't see any of those getting critical acclaim.

I said $$$, that has nothing to do with critical acclaim in our cold harsh world.

[shade]

eh I was replying to the poll question:

 

"Which film will be remembered as the biggest (money AND critical acclaim included) ?"

[Ravenous megin-sane]

it's totally going to be harry potter.

it's fucking harry potter!

[Shiri]

I don't think Harry Potter can pull it off. Actually, I don't think any summer release will earn more than Spiderman 3, that's my guess.

I don't think Harry Potter can pull it off. Actually, I don't think any summer release will earn more than Spiderman 3, that's my guess.

I think that Pirates will do a fair share of bringing money in, in fact I would think, that Pirates will make more money than Harry Potter, and Spiderman.

 

Remember Spiderman 3 was released before all the others movies, so it had an advantage to begin with. In my opinion Pirates and Spiderman should have opened on the same weekend.

 

EDIT: I also think Pirates will get much better reviews than Spiderman 3 as well.

I think it'll be a three way tie: Harry Potter, Fantastic Four, and Spiderman!!!

[Shiri]

Pirates will make more money than Fantastic Four for sure.

[HoboFactory]

In terms of acclaim, there wouldn't be a winner among any of those. As for money... I'm gonna guess The Simpsons Movie.

[Shiri]

When does it come out anyway? I'm so going to the movies to see it

[bishopx]

I'm looking forward to it too...I thought it was due out in August

[Shiri]

So far I guess Spiderman is the biggest?

[Hyphnip]

I think it is.

there were a lot of amazing movies that came out this year though.

[Shiri]

Yeah, it's been a good summer.

Transformers will make it to 2nd place, it hasn't been out that long. Simpsons will make the list shortly I'd imagine.
