Mr. Predicto: Summer Box Office 2010
It's time for my annual attempt at guessing the top domestic grosses for summer movies. I'm betting that
The Last Airbender, The Other Guys, Knight and Day and
Get Him to the Greek will underperform, or flop alltogether. As far as hits go, I predict that the "twenty-something female" will become the new "teenage fanboy" as
Twilight, Sex and the City and
Eat, Pray, Love will all hit big. Finally, the financial and critical performance of
Inception will cement Christopher Nolan as the top director in Hollywood. I'm a tad late with the list, since Iron Man 2 already opened. But here's my best shot at what the box office totals will look like on Labor Day:
1. Iron Man 2: $380 million
2. Toy Story 3: $350 million
3. Twilight 3: $305 million
4. Inception: $250 million
5. Sex and the City 2: $220 million
6. Shrek 4: $205 million
7. Robin Hood: $180 million
8. Eat, Pray, Love: $170 million
9. Prince of Persia: $150 million
10. Salt: $130 million
11. MacGruber: $120 million
12. Knight and Day: $115 million
13. The A-Team: $110 million
14. Despicable Me: $105 million
15. Grown-Ups: $95 million
