Heroes and Lost arent pure sci-fi shows. BSG still only appeals to a niche group. Its ratings are great for a cable show and sci-fi network but I dont consider it to be that popular. Dont forget that the last Star Trek show was just cancelled 4 years ago during the peak of Stargate.



That probably could be true although there really isnt a whole lot of 100 million hits this year compared to a year before

I'm not trying to argue that ST will be huge, but it will do well.[/quote]

Ignore

A couple of noteworthy additions for horror fans:

Scanners (2008) MGM 10/17/08 New
Trailer Trash MGM 8/22/08 New

Scanners is, of course, Saw II/III/IV director Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of the David Cronenberg film, and unless there is another film coming out with the same title, Trailer Trash is Eli Roth's spinoff of Grindhouse that is composed entirely of fake movie trailers.


EDIT: The Kite Runner has also been pushed back from November 2 to December 14.

kite runner will die horrible death.

Original scanners was awesome and a remake cannot beat it.

Trailer trash will be fun.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - February 6, 2009
Land of the Lost - July 17, 2009

what is this about?

The title is intriguing.

I bet when hollywood finalize their release dates for all their big sfx extravaganzas like TF2, DBZ, IA3, POP etc. then these small movies will move.

The "Land of the Lost" TV series followed the adventures of the Marshall family. Dad Rick and his kids Will and Holly were transported back in time while rafting down the Colorado River. The Marshall's had to fight off dinosaurs, the deadly Sleestak, and made friends with Chaka the little monkey boy. You seriously could not have asked for a campier TV series, and the idea of making a movie based on the show has been kicked around for years.

Its going to be really bad like Fist of the Northstar

stop being such a Fox whore

shup up.

You stop being a TF whore.

I hope so. Though I think a bunch of us thought the first one would do more than $50m too. It was one of two R rated films that should have been $70m+ contenders - it and Girl Next Door.

But the 2nd has certainly built up a cult following so it should do at worst Clerks II numbers but hopefully $50m+

With Diesel and Walker back FF4 will be a big hit.

2009 is starting to feel like 2003...

Id peg ff3 right around ff2; but if it has Tyrese in it too along with waulker and diesel; id say 150 million fa show

From my man in W.B.-

"It is all set in stone. Their film Justice League will be out day-and-date on May 15th. T4 will be out July 1st. An announcement is not currently scheduled but it will announced by I would say Mid-November at latest."

So Pencil it in:

Justice League: May 15th
Terminator 4: July 1st

Intesting; JL is the same date W.B. opened MATIRX RELOADED on in 2003; and Terminator is headed back to July 4th ala T2 and T3.

So they are baniking on Transformers not making it in 2009 I take it?

I guess so...considering T4 was just announced TODAY I think he might be jumping the gun; but hes been saying JL at that spot for a month.

Transformers will force T4 to move.

Transformers will totally kill T4. T4 is a decade too long too late already and the budget will probably exceed 150 million so I cant really see them making their budget back before dvd

Perhaps...hes been saying May 15th since before Setember; though Avatar is hardly big competition. It would be neck and neck for the 4 day. If Avatars big itll be through legs; nbto opening weekend. No fanbase+no stars=no hype. Best case scenario would be a 75 million 4 day, which given the source material doesnt sound likely. I see 115 million 3 day for JL followed by a 60 million 4 day...Avatar aruond 60-65.

as for T4; it might be a filler. I mean Paramounts gonna really have to get shit moving if they want transformers 2 at that date. wb is probably betting they dont; and even if they do t4 will just move. Its terminator; it can go anywhere as long as theres no HUGE compeition and do the same numbers. And if transformers doesnt make; t4 gets July 4th weekend.Atfer t3 Id be very surprised if T4 gets a big price tag. T3 was 175 million back in 2003.

With Avatar though it could have special effects that look quite like nothing we've seen before. At least based on what Cameron has said. So, it could do TDAT numbers or more.

The Wolfman just took the same release date as Cursed did in 2005.

TDAT had tidal waves crashing through NYC and Twisters tearing up L.A. What does Avatar have?

Granted; Fox really stepped up their game for TDAT; they will have to do the same for Avatar for similar numbers...

Not exactly. The Wolfman is opening on President's Day weekend and has Valentine's Day on Saturday. Cursed opened on the weekend after President's Day weekend which is usually a bad weekend for openers.

What does Avatar have? Like the post you replied to stated, this is going to have revolutionary effects. It takes place on another planet and will surely have huge battle scenes, with said battles being fought in all sorts of wild ways. We really know very little about the visuals of Avatar thusfar, but c'mon dude, it's fucking James Cameron. If any director out there is going to have some fucking wild money shots, it's him.

umm i thought this was a love story movie like titanic!!!
