 Will Batman Begins make more than War of the Worlds? Join the bandwagon :mrgreen: . Lots of hype leading to its release date and the reviews have been very overwhelming so far. It may not have the biggest opening but the critical acclaim its receiving may mean it will have stronger legs. :mrgreen: Whos with me on this that Batman Begins will make more than War of the World since Tom Cruise is going all Wacko Jacko on us and people may not watch WOTW because of that?

No, but im 99% sure neither movie will make over 300m.
Begins - 220m
WOW - 250m
Something like that, WOW has a larger appeal to it i'd say, unless the movie sucks, it should do quite well. Both movies will save the summer.

Nope. There's just no way Batman Begins has more appeal than War of the Worlds, which also has Independence Day weekend.
War of the Worlds - $250 million
Batman Begins - $215 million

Batman Begins - $215 million Yeah, the 6-day opening will be the killer even IF it wasn't going to be bigger from the start (which it is). Batman will still do really well but I think WoTW has too many factors going for it.

I'm in.
I've lowered my WOTW prediction, as the commercials are underwelming compared to be very high expectations, and there is Cruise. It might not affect the film that much, but if just 10% decide to stay home as a result of his behavior, which I could easily see, it would cost 20m or so. 198m.
For Batman, I'm sure many think I'm still crazy to predict this, but I believe this film has way to much appeal and buzz not to do at least 250m. I'm still at 328m as everything has been going as well as I've expected.
So, I am very much in.

Seems it'd be a better movie of the two, so can only hope it outgross WOTW.
But don't think it will.

No.
Batman Begins will make between $180-220m max. Im pretty sure WOTW should beat that.

I still think WOTW will cross 300 million easily. So no.

War of the worlds had a really good shot at 300 million and more. I think batman begins will cross 200 million an end around 215 million.

Begins - 175m
WotW - 250-280
is there a Batman predictions thread? Because I can't find one. If not, how about one of you guys start one.
edit: thanks Scott V.

War of the Worlds is this summers only hope for a massive superhit.
If Batman Begins does well - itll be on an X2+ level.

Hehe, theres a song that goes "No Way No Way!" from a crappy old uk girlband called Vanilla that spidermans posts reminded me of.
"
Sex feel
Sex feel
Sex feel
Sex feel
*We're always together never apart
Sisters through and through
We're only havin' fun
To give the boys their run
We can get a kick out of you, boy
*Repeat
Ah, if you tempt with your charms
Ah, you can hold me in your arms
Ah, but if you fought yourself on me
Ah, no no no no no way no way, man-ah mah-ah man-ah
**No way no way, man-ah man-ah man-ah
No way no way, man-ah man-ah man-ah
No way no way,
No way no way no way, man-ah man-ah man-ah
No way no way, man-ah man-ah man-ah
No way no way, man-ah man-ah man-ah
No way no way, not today
"
Ah us Brits can right killer songs huh?
