30-Day Smackdown: "Dark Shadows" v. "Vampire Hunter"

Closes in 2 months
AKA Tim Burton the director vs. Tim Burton the producer. These two flicks have the same screenwriter (Seth Grahame-Smith) and the same weirdly awesome retro-horror-action vibe that is typically of so many of Burton’s films. But Dark Shadows has what’s now become known as Burton’s signature cast: the dynamic duo of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter, with several other big ... read more

30-Day Smackdown: Which Will Make More, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" or "Battleship"?

Closes in 2 months, 1 week
WE'RE PITTING these two action-packed military thrillers against one another, and we’re eager to see which one will come out victorious... and which will be waving the white flag. G.I. Joe: Retaliation, though a sequel to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (which made $54M in its opening weekend, but was not a critical success to say the least), ... read more

BOTH HIGH-OCTANE, action-packed, ensemble-casted, and star-directed, these two comic-book-based features are predicted to bring down the house this summer. Don’t call them just another couple of summer blockbusters; these two are both headed to the top of the charts at full speed. Marvel’s The Avengers follows up a trail of Marvel-superhero action features, including Iron Man II (opening weekend $128M), ... read more

How Much Will "Madagascar 3" Gross in its Opening Weekend?

Closes in 3 weeks 3 Comments
FILM FRANCHISES were huge last year – in fact, the top 7 highest-grossing films were all sequels in 2011 – and many predict that trend will continue in 2012. “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” has a good chance of joining them. It’s well-positioned in the second week of June, with little competition in the animated category; its two biggest rivals ... read more
