Cars and A Bug's Life are the two misfires for me in regards to Pixar's excellent track record.

Seconded, although I don't have as big of an issue with 'Cars' as some of you have. ABL is really the only film that I kinda dislike.

Cars 2 will open big and then drop off hard.

[Abraham Smashington]

Something incredibly...off about Woody Allen headlining an animated kids' film. Probably that sex with your daughter thing.

Meh. Doesn't change the fact that A Bug's Life sucked.

[Matt]

I don't see how any film comes close to toppling Potter this year.

I dunno. I remember going to the car show a few months ago and there were HUGE 'Cars 2' displays that kids AND parents were going totally berzerk for. I wouldn't be surprised if it topped TS3's huge numbers when all is said and done.

Personally, I'd say this and next year belong to WB for the #1 grossing films. Potter has too much backing it like a late July release, 3D/IMAX, its shortest film in the series' history I believe and it's the last one.

My jaw would hit the floor if it didn't break past $1 billion.

Did you actually get a runtime? WB has been spitting out 3 different times since May.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Nadda. Just heard it was the shortest/tightest one.

[Matt]

Shorter and tighter than Azkaban? Wow.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Supposedly.

[Matt]

then I may actually like it. I'm sorry, but the only HP flick that's worth a damn (to ME) is Azkaban. The rest are overblown bores.

[Abraham Smashington]

I agree. Although I prefer the first one over all. Then again my tastes in movies is suspect.

[Martin]

Cars 2 will open big and then drop off hard.

Nah. This thing will make MAD money. Insane amount of money. Probably less than Potter, but as a father, I can assure youf you add the product's profit, this shit will destroy Star Wars products profits.

[FilmNerdJamie]

We're re-watching all the Potter films leading up to the final one for a special podcast.

Should be getting Azkaban in today as a matter of fact. Amazing to look back on the Columbus films. You appreciate all the hard work and ball-busting he did on Philosopher's Stone setting everything up for the (unfounded) shit he gets. That's a solid kids adventure movie.

Chamber of Secrets? Yeah...it's tedious as shit. But it introduces Isaacs and I'm one of those people who loves Dobby.

[Martin]

I'm awaiting Captain America, Transformers 3 and Cars 2 (yeah yeah...).

As for TF3, it's like waiting for a carcrash. It might be awesome.
