We have enough threads looking at the films doing well this summer, but what about the really really stinky ones? Sharon Stone doesn't want to be uncontested at the Razzies, and that's what the summer films are for? What will be the Gigli, the Catwoman, of the summer? What are the big potential stinkers of the summer?

potential? miami vice, mi3, posiedon, da vinci, x3, cars, superman, pirates.

i see miami vice blowing mad cock. ditto fast furious 3, no buzz for ethier whatsoever.

The Omen
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Garfield: A Tail of two Kitties
Little Man (Maybe)
Lady in the Water
World Trade Center

There will probably be more, but that's all I can think of.

Yeah, World Trade Centre could be uber if the bad hype gets to it.

GARFIELD 2.
LADY IN THE WATER.
THE BREAK-UP.
TOKYO DRIFT.
ANT BULLY.


I would leave LITTLE MAN alone for now.

I think people are underestimating Lady in the Water. True M. Night had a few disapointments with Signs and The Village but from what I remember reading from Showest is that the best thing they shown was the lady in the Water clip. I think it will be a sucess and not a dud.

Didn't Signs gross over $200 million?

Is this thread about B.O or about the quality of the movies?

Really? Check out the trailer section of this forum with all the poeple wanting to go see it, as well as on a bunch of "most anticipated" lists.

Sorta a combo of both. Those universally despised films like Gigli, which fail on every intended level. But people can go either by box office or quality.

Poseidon and Just My Luck are new members of the club! Welcome!

Box-office-wise? I expect The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift to struggle to $50 million.

Lady in the Water could potentially do REALLY badly.

I'm feeling a disappointment for Lady in the Water. Besides a possible backlash from The Village, WB is now marketing instead of Disney, and they've already shown confusing marketing so far.

Little Man, hands down. Who the fuck thinks of that?

I'm assuming this is about box office considering what forum it's in. In which case, I see a lot of potential dissapointments. In June one of the comedies may underperform. The Break-Up, Nacho Libre, and Click all seem like safe bets. But if those three open in four weeks, with kid comedies like Cars and Garfield 2 also coming, I could see one underperforming. Maybe Click will compared to expecations. Speaking of Garfield 2, I think that it'll make much less then the first like many kids sequels, maybe in the vicinity of a low teens opening weekend. Fast and the Furious 3... I'll wait to see how Universal markets it. It could go 40/115, it could go 20/55. I do see Waist Deep really getting lost in the shuffle, as Rogue has yet to have a film open to it's full potential. 8/21 seems likely for that.

July... Superman Returns immediately sticks out as a potential dissapointment. I've only found one person impressed by the trailer, and they also thought Poseidon looked like the best film of the summer, so I don't think they say much. If WB can't pick up the marketing, I think we're looking at a high thirties/low fourties for the four day, and high fifties/low sixties for the five day with a total of 125-135 million. Little Man might not do as well as White Chicks, but 15/50 would still be very profitable for Sony. Pulse seems like it has 15 million opening weekend in the bag, with the potential for a 30 million opening weekend break out. Considering it has a low teens budget, it's safe. You, Me, and Dupree... now that I could see dissapointing. There's a LOT of comedy this summer and this looks like the least clever or memorably of any of them so far. From there, there's very few movies that don't have bombing potential. The Ant Bully and The Barnyard both seem like sure things, with Monster House having hte most potential among the three CGI kids films opening in three weeks of one another, and not just because it opens first. Zoom could be a huge bomb if the budget is big, as The Wild shows what happens when a kids film has exactly the same plot as another recent one (Sky High in this case).
