Fresh News! HitFix has a list of the Ten Biggest Summer Movies of 2010!
Wanna see if Eclipse is in it? Read the following extract!
Thanks @HitFixGregory for the Tip!
Will Woody, Jacob or Tony Stark come out on top?
At the beginning of the summer movie season you can make a case that every picture has a chance to be a hit or, at the very least, a profitable performer. Unfortunately, that's never quite the case. Theatrical distribution is as much game of strategy and marketing as it is about the quality of a picture and in that scenario there will always be winners and, boy, will there be losers. 2010 is no different.Looking over this upcoming season, many of the hits are easy to spot. "Iron Man 2," "Toy Story 3," "Sex and the City 2"? Easy dough. It's when you look more carefully at the release schedule that the toss ups come into play. Is "Get Him to the Greek" another Judd Apatow-produced sleeper hit? Can Katherine Heigl go four-for-four with "Killers"? Is "The Last Airbender" the launch of a powerful new franchise for Paramount? Can Jake Gyllenhaal become a real action star and break the video game movie jinx in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time"? The answer may be "yes" across the board, but that doesn't mean those films or others will make the list of top ten grossing movies of the season. That's for the true high rollers and much harder to determine. Maybe.
3. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Opening Day: June 30
Pros: Arguably the most passionate franchise fanbase of this era and the most action packed of all the films which means guys might not have to be dragged by their significant others after being bored through "New Moon." "Eclipse" is also the first installment in IMAX (higher ticket prices factor in) and to be released in the teen-friendly summer season.
Cons: The "backlash" is over, but are the fans still as excited as they were for the first two films?
Projected Box Office: $330 million
Lowdown: $300 million is guaranteed, but it "should" do much more than that
