Author Topic: IME Top Ten predictions for December releases Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2008 05:48 PM                        Just got the new IME ShowTime guide. It has this 'predicted' top ten list for December movies. 1. Bedtime Stories 2. The Day the Earth Stood Still 3. Yes Man 4. Marley and Me 5. Seven Pounds 6. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 7. The Tale of Despereaux 8. Valkyrie 9. Revolutionary Road 10. The Spirit What do you all think of these rankings? I expect #1 and #4 might be reversed, quite frankly, but could be wrong...'Bedtime Stories' IS a Disney film after all.  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-01-2008 08:30 PM                     I could agree with most. I'm surprised at their lack of confidence in 7 Pounds. Will Smith is as they say: "Box Office Magic" Bedtime Stories looks pretty funny.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-01-2008 08:33 PM                        I haven't even heard of #'s 1, 7 and 9. EDIT: Just watched the trailers for the ones I haven't heard of. Bedtime Stories would have to do a ton of business in 6 days to be #1 for the whole month. Looks OK at the very best, but not one that I want to see. Adam Sandler + kids = bad movie. A Tale of Desparado looks stupid. I have yet to see a non-Pixar CG movie that I actually enjoy. Yes, Shrek included. I couldn't even finish watching the trailer. Revolutionary Road looks like absolutely nothing at all. Just a bunch of clips of people doing nothing. Looks like people run around a bit, maybe. Yawn.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2008 09:34 PM                        quote: Joe Redifer Bedtime Stories would have to do a ton of business in 6 days to be #1 for the whole month. The predictions are for the final gross of the movies, not how much they'll do in December only. I should have titled the thread "...December RELEASES." I guess I'll change it now.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

All I can offer is the films on that list I'm interested at all in seeing. Those include: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Valkyrie The Spirit The Day the Earth Stood Still I may end up seeing one or more of those movies on Blu-ray if I can't manage to make the time to get out to the theater.  |  IP: Logged
