Glad to see the summer movie season is upon us. Check out our summer preview over at notsodaily.com. Not spam, just a suggestion.

Here's the deal: it's all about the writing. The best actors and directors can't save a crappy script.

I think it could make around 380M WW so nothing special but after DVD/BR sales etc. they could make some money.

The Great Gatsby – with rumored 150M production budget… I can't see more than 260M WW. Not good at all for WB.

After Earth – looks so bad so I believe it won't cross 250M WW.

Now You See Me – looks good and I heard the script is fun so something around 180M WW is possible.

World War Z – I think WWZ could finish around 400M. Woudl be a good result after so many problems.

White House Down – the hottest actor under 35 + Emmerich + super-entertaining script = 320M WW

Lone Ranger – 270M production budget and trailers look like another disaster, John Carter 2.0. But overseas markets should help Johnny again – 440M WW.

Pacific Rim – GdT didn't make a really big movie yet and some fanboys are expecting 1 Billion or more – not possible! But something around 630M WW would be a fantastic result!

R.I.P.D. – filming was completed in January '12 but I know they were still reshooting two weeks ago! This movie will be a complete disaster and won't cross 150M WW!

Elysium – impossible to predict right now but I believe Elysium will make 310M WW!

Got a referral from Rope of Silicon. 🙂

It looks awesomely original & fun. I will see Oblivion, Fast & Furious 6, 300:Rise of an Empire, Sin City 2 & Man of steal in theater but for the others I don't know, maybe if my friends recommend some of them to me.

Attempting to slip in a little Lovecraftian lore isn't going to be enough.

While u called Safehouse a hit, it has a budget of 85 mil and only made 207 mil.

I have never heard of this film and thought it was the similarly themed White House Down which comes out this summer at first. I guess we have another Mirror Moirror/Snow White and the Huntsman situation here but when I saw the budget for this Olympus film was 80 mil, I knew they had a flop on their hands. 3 weeks away and no marketing yet?

Has anyone even heard about this movie? I thought this was some little 40 million dollar movie, why does this cost so much?

Wait and see.
