Next summer, I'll live in a movie theatre.

Seriously.

THE BARNYARD - 7/28/06 (2 months early)

Bold Prediction: Bourne breaks the record for Biggest August opening with $70M.

I don't think so. I think a vast majority of the internet population enjoys the BOURNE franchise, but it is really lacklustre stuff.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Adam Sandler / Kevin James comedy) - 7/20/07.

This is getting insane...

BOM

Summer 2007 just got bigger...
Simpsons: The Movie - July 27, 2007

also
Flags of Our Fathers - August 4, 2006
World Trade Center - August 11, 2006
Zodiac - November 10, 2006

Perfect for WTC and Zodiac - but Flags should move. Id rather see it in November or December.

Yeah, Flags would seem like the perfect December movie to me.

Maybe they're setting up for a Red Sun, Black Sand Oscar push instead? Possibly Eastwood is looking at both, and realizing the Paul Walker-Ryan Phillipe fest just isn't up to par. I actually doubt that though, Flag will probably move.

As for the Sander/James comedy, wow. How many can they possibly fit?

Eastwood's Unforgiven was released in August 1992 and won Best Picture.

July is packed wall to wall at this point with Fantastic Four II, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix, 10,000 B.C., Transformers and now Simpsons: The Movie...somethings gonna have to move IMO. Probably Transformers, to the last weekend of June slot.

Harry Potter should move to November. July is way too damn packed.

2007 is actually a lock for the biggest box-office year ever (unadjusted).


I mean....just look at those films!!!

Too bad Spielberg probably won't have Indy IV ready by then. That'd be exactly what 2007 still needs. Or Jurassic Park 4.

Do you think Transformers could top SM3's second weekend on May 11th? If so, that's an open weekend. But it will be bombarded by competition.

Transformers can force FF2 to move. That's the one that will need a new date. Evan Almighty should move as well. However, what's scary is that movies like Halo and Rush Hour 3 still need to find a spot.

THE GRUDGE 2 - 10/13/06 (week earlier)

Well this is how summer 07 is scheduled so far...

I see HALO moving to April or September. It just sounds crappy, even if PJ is attached.

Here's what I guess will happen:

May-04 Spiderman 3
May-11 (2 20m openers)
May-18 Pirates of the Carribean 3
May-25 (A couple smaller openers again)
Jun-01 Evan Almighty
Jun-08 Oceans 13, Surf's Up
Jun-15 Used Guys

Jul-20 I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Jul-27 Ratatoullie, Fantastic Four 2
Aug-03 The Bourne Ultimatum, Underdog
Aug-10 10,000 BC, Rush Hour 3
Aug-17 Simpsons: The Movie
Aug-24 Nancy Drew
Aug-31

1. After POTC2 has +300m in 10 days, Shrek 3 moves to June 29th.
2. POTC3 takes Shrek 3's old date.
3. Ratatoullie meanwhile has to move to July 27th.
4. Evan Almightly goes to June 1.
5. The Simpsons Movie gets away from Ratatoullie and goes to August.
6. Nancy Drew moves a week.
7. After a Transformers trailer debuts, FF2 goes to July 27th.
8. Rush Hour 3 takes August 10th.
9. The Simpsons Movie moves another week.
10. Nancy Drew again moves a week.
11. 10,000 BC tries to keep it's date for a while, but eventually has to go to August.

Is Shrek 3 seriously called Shrek the Third, or is it just a common joke-name everyone is using?

It's real.

Stick It - April 28 (was April 21)

Material Girls (Hilary & Haylie Duff comedy) - August 25

IdunnohowIfeelaboutthis..istheFridaythe13thremakestillonforthatdate,orhasitbeenbumpedtoApril?

That's an ironic date. I wonder if they did it on purpose.
