Quite a step down in movie quality except for Narnia, Wall-E, Dark Knight and Indiana Jones. Still it looks better than 2006

This summer looks like its going to be on again off again. I could easily see 1/2 of the 2008 summer slate disappointing, while the rest won't or are wildcards.
I think Mummy 3 should move to the first week of August. After Bourne and RH3 both open huge this August, and then together pull $450 m +, maybe they'll reconsider..
