The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

US Release May 16, UK Release June 26

I still haven't had a chance to see the first movie in this franchise but what I know is that it did very well at the box office. This sequel I think is going to do well also, although not as well as the first. I think the initial flood of people who went to see the first film did so because of the books and were none the wiser about the quality of it. However the film got mixed reviews and opinions for the most part thus it won't do as well this time around.

 
The Incredible Hulk

Release June 13

I am one of about 11 people on the planet who liked and appreciated Ang Lee's Hulk. Everyone else just seemed to have an allergic reaction to it, I think because it wasn't the "hulk-smash" movie people were expecting. But from the footage we have seen from this new version of the big green monster it's going to be "hulk-smash" all the way. And I have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to be a big hit, both critically and box office wise.

 
WALL E

US Release June 27, UK Release July 18

Never underestimate the power of Pixar. Every single movie that they have released has made an absolute fortune at the box office and this will be no exception. I feel that the animation in Pixar's movies is always the best thing about them and the actual movies themselves (as stories, etc) are a bit overrated for the most part. Ratatouille reinforced that they are the single greatest animation studio in the world and by the trailers for WALL E they have topped even that as far as quality of animation goes. Expect upwards of $500 million at least at the box office.

The Love Guru

US Release June 20, UK Release August 1

I really don't think this is going to do as well as the studio is hoping. The trailer wasn't as funny as we all thought it was going to be and I think people are getting tired of Mike Myers' schtick. It won't completely bomb or anything but just don't expect to see high numbers from this comedy.

Release July 2

When I first saw the trailers for this film I thought it looked total crap, absurd and lame. However I must admit that the more I see of it the more I am liking the look of it. I still don't think it will be great but watchable at least.
