Have a Summah!
As we do every year on TRS, we started our Summer Movie Wager this week, where we try to predict the top ten grossing blockbusters of the Summer... in order! Scoring is based on how close to the correct position you place each movie. We also get 3 "dark horse" candidates, which get a point if they appear anywhere in the top ten.
Here is my official list:
1) Transformers: Dark of the Moon
2) Cars 2
3) Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides
4) Hangover 2
5) Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows pt 2
6) Super 8
7) Kung Fu Panda 2
8) Thor
9) Cowboys & Aliens
10) Fast Five
Dark Horses: Green Lantern, Captain America, X-Men: First Class
So, there you have it! Again, these aren't my favorite movies, or my most anitcipated movies, but rather the ones I think will make the most money. Play along, or tell me where I'm wrong in the comments below. And have a great summah!
Here is the episode where we throw down with Peter Sciretta from /Film:

Jeff, I think you and the TRS boys should get in touch with you fellow rev3 host Shwood and get on his NSFWShow Summer Movie Fantasy draft next year.
I think you placed Harry Potter too low, it should be in the top 3.
1: Pirates 4
2: Harry Potter 7 Pt. 2
3: Transformers 3
4: Kung Fu Panda 2
5: Cars 2
6: Hangover 2
7: Fast Five
8: Super 8
9: Green Lantern
10: Thor
-------------------------
Dark Horses: X-Men First Class, Captain America, The Smurfs.
I think Harry Potter will be this summers big winner. It's the last movie of the series, and it looks action-packed based on the new trailer. Transformers 3 will do it great as well, only because the visuals are amazing. I have faith in Green Lantern, and I think it will do it pretty good, its the only DC movie, versus the 3 marvel movies. I put Cars 2 high up, mostly because Pixar is a winner. Cars 2 isn't the same as Toy Story 3, or Wall-E, and it probably have a higher percentage of kids than the last Pixar movies.
1. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 2
2. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon
3. Pirates Of The Carribean: On Stranger Tides
4. Cars 2
5. Green Lantern
6. The Hangover: Part II
7. Kung Fu Panda 2
8. Super 8
9. Fast Five
10. X-Men: First Class
Dark Horses:
Thor
Captain America
Cowboys & Aliens
I think everyone is underestimating the power of Pixar and Dreamworks. Looking at last year, Toy Story 3 was a GREAT movie, but it did a lot of business because kids wanted to see it... A LOT. And parents have to buy tickets for themselves also. I've got two young sons and I pretty much have to see every animated kids movie that comes out with my kids, or they drive me crazy with their badgering. And when a kids movie comes out that has a lot of quality and enjoyability for adults, well then I (and the hundreds of thousands of other parents out there) are even more apt to see the movie with our kids... even multiple times.
so my top 10 is
1) Cars 2 (You can't stop the Pixar machine)
2) Kung Fu Panda 2 (My kids most anticipated movie of the summer)
3) Transformers: Dark of the Moon (America LOVES to get stupid and smile at the big shiny things)
4) Harry Potter 7 (Kind of for kids, kind of big stupid and shiny, kind of a good story)
5) Hangover 2 (It's a kids movie for adults)
6) Pirates of the Carribean 4 (Would be higher, but this one almost seems like the Crystal Skull... They've told their story in three solid parts, now they're looking for one last cash grab)
7) Green Lantern (The highest on the list that is NOT a sequel... Very sad)
8) Thor (Being the first big budget "popcorn" movie of the summer will give it some juice)
9) Fast Five (Vin Diesel vs. The Rock... This one gets some action when all the boyfriends and husbands out there say "We went to see Water for Elephants last time. Now I get to pick.")
10) Smurfs (The kid thing again. This looks TERRIBLE... But I know I'll see it because my kids will want to.
Dark Horses: Super 8, Cowboys & Aliens, Captain America
Good list, Jeff, but I'm skeptical about Pirates of the Caribbean doing that well. I'm sensing fatigue for that franchise. Word of mouth will need to be really good. Also, I think you're underestimating Thor a little. It's going to surprise people. Coming early in the summer, it's in the right spot to pull in Iron Man numbers.
this is a great list, but you forgot the new version of Tron: Through Viagra on line pharmacy, of course this new version is produced by a fan, and sponsored by fans.
I like your movie lists. It has cars themes on it. Herbie Fully Loaded is among the best.

Cars 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2 would be my picks for the best animated film of the year.

many of the movies in the list are simply amazing, and sorry for the Scifi fans, but Cowboys & Aliens really SUCK!!! I want to apologize for the expression but is true, the only good thing in this movie is Olvia Wilde, beside what is the big deal with a pack of alien that want to invade the Earth just to Buy Viagra? sorry but this is totally nonsense.
