Bubba Bog's Summer Movie Scorecard!

I thought it would be fun to make some predictions on this year's blockbuster movie season. Now remember, I've only seen trailers at this point, so I'm gonna shoot from the hip. My opinions are going to be a true first glance only. They say that the first opinion is usually the best. So I'll give it a go for May, and I'll add the scorecard to the website soon. Here we go....
- Speed Racer - May 9th - TRAILER - I expect this to be the first BOMB.. a real loo loo.. I doubt it will clear $20 mil domestic in its debut. I'll place my prediction at 18.
- What Happens In Vegas - May 9th - TRAILER - Don't be surprised if this is the top movie next week. No blockbuster, but should be respectable. say $40 mil. first week.
- Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian - May 16th - TRAILER - A very slick preview, many are looking forward to this sequel. I expect it to do well. It may even get to blockbuster level. Let's say $65 million in domestic box office first week.
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - May 22nd - TRAILER - This might be THE premiere of the summer season. The appeal is right across all demographics. With such an established fan-base, it just might make $120 million.
- Postal - May 23rd - TRAILER - Even Mini-Me Verne Troyer can't save this movie. If the movie is as bad as the trailer, it just might cause physical harm to individuals unlucky to have selected this idiot-fest. Say $4 million.
- Sex In The City - May 30th - TRAILER - Another established fan-base movie. Considering the popularity of the HBO series, I expect it to turn out a respectable $40 Million in the US box office.
- The Strangers - May 30th - TRAILER - Great trailer, if the movie is anything like it.. this might be the sleeper of this season. I'm going out on a limb.. say $65 million.
Thats about it for this month. Be sure to add your predictions. I'll post them all at the bottom of next month's entry.
