The 50 Biggest Movies of 2010

[undeadmonkey]

hmmm, i didnt even see meet the little fockers on the list

[W]

Yeah... I'm not sure why its not on the list, but it has a release date next year... I think in December.

[NSpan]

barring any major surprises, I'd say this is a safe bet for Top 5:

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
Shrek Forever After
Toy Story 3
Iron Man 2

[Geezer]

I still think Toy Story 3 rises above everything and breaks 400 million. I called that when it was announced almost 2 years ago, I'm sticking to it.

[undeadmonkey]

I just hope Dawn Treader is huge. If it is, we'll definitely see the rest, but if it isn't, then this one will probably be the last one. I've got a good feeling about it though, Dawn Treader was my favorite book, and when i was reading it, i just kept thinking this would be so cool to see on screen.

[Buscemi]

I think it will do less than Prince Gaspian (Ben Barnes' accent seriously made the C sound like a G) since Fox is doing the film. Also, they don't have a good track record with fantasy.

[Geezer]

Yeah because when I decide to see a movie or not, the first thing I look for is if it has the name Fox attached. If it does, well, I have to give it a resounding "no thank you"

[Buscemi]

Remember that Fox was the same company that fucked up Eragon and The Dark Is Rising (also done by Walden Media, but released as The Seeker). With Fox handling the film, don't expect a very literal translation of the book. Or even an adaptation of the book.

Also, Walden Media is often a name that's box office poison. Narnia has been the exception but seriously, did anyone besides the diehards even read the sequels?

[NSpan]

did anyone besides the diehards even read the sequels?

maybe it's a generational thing, but pretty much everyone i know has read at least a few of 'em

[silversurfer19]

Yeah, I read a couple, but The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe was always the one I remembered most. Kids these days don't even read the books though, they're too busy with Harry Potter and Twilight. They don't know what they're missing....

[W]

Before the first one came out, I thought there was only one book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

[Geezer]

I did too

[Leestu]

I read them all, and watched some of the BBC series of them (3 of them I think by memory), but I wouldn't call myself a die-hard by any means.

Jesus, Geez, it seems like everytime Buscemi types something, you're right there with a condescending remark. Give it a rest already...

I don't know if this is your intent, but it's certainly coming across like that.

in Geez's defense, a few of us occasionally fill in for him when he can't get to his computer
