Based on this variety article, looks like we are in for a big summer movie season.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR111798 ... id=13&cs=1

That's 23 films in 31 days, all competing for eyeballs. And it's especially notable, because a decade ago, May was a wasteland as far as summer tentpoles were concerned. Now it's jam-packed, raising the question if "summer" will one day start in April.

This May sets the tone for the most brutal season ever, one dominated by event pics and a glut of comedies. In all, there are 25 potentially "big" movies this summer, a significant jump from the 18 last year. At that level, marketing is going to have to be noisier and more crafty than ever.

Here is another great article to get up ready for the upcoming summer movie season.

including..... 1-10 rankings for these categories - a great read for all summer movie goers, take a look.

Also it looks like their are a couple of summer movies that were missed, that we can discuss in the coming weeks.

Opinions on these movies, which do you want to see?

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
The X-Files 2
Sex and the City
Mamma Mia

and there are interesting results so far in the poll with 17 (4+6+7) in total are wanting to see Indiana Jones right away while 14 (7+2+1+4) in total are looking forward to Batman right away. Batman would be winning but for some, it just isn't a priority as they will see it whenever - which downgrades it.

So it comes down to the final 2 - Batman or Indiana Jones with 1 pick

Indiana Jones FIRST & The Dark Knight SECOND 20% [ 4 ]
Indiana Jones FIRST & The Dark Knight WHENEVER 30% [ 6 ]
Indiana Jones FIRST & The Dark Knight NEVER 0% [ 0 ]
