What do you think will be the top grossing film of 2006? I thought it was going to be The Da Vinci Code, but it's been getting mixed reviews. I think Superman Returns will be up there. However, I don't think that even the #1 movie will top $300 million.

The latest X-Men film should take a fair bit of cash at the door.

Snakes on a Plane.

SNAKES ON A PLANE!

Spiderman 3 easily

though I don't know if it will come out by the end of 2006

Superman Returns.

Any big Disney films this year?

If I could wave a magic wand, it would be this one: An Inconvenient Truth.

Yeah, Cars.

Yeah, Cars.
Is the latest Ice Age counted as this year?

Yeah, Ice Age 2: the Meltdown is this year, but it's not Disney. It was made by Dreamworks.

Actually, it's made by 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky Studios.  Dreamworks made Over The Hedge, which is out this week.

I think it may The Da Vinci Code. Tickets for that have been selling out and there were long lines in the theater for it, like it was for Star Wars III last year.

The Da Vinci Code movie has taken

I think davinci code. Snakes on a plane will come close. And I of course am rooting for black snake moan to sweep the Oscars.

I actually officially predict that "the scanner darkly" will end up being a big event. I saw a preview for it and it looks like just the kind of thing that will get people talking.

I hope it's not going to be Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center"

I've got no desire to see that movie

i wanna see it but i was hoping he'd bust out the conspiracy angle, like with JFK and Nixon.

Oliver Stone and Michael Moore set up 9/11 so they could make movies about it!
;D
it's the only rational explanation.

actually, mel gibson had a very similar theory about oliver stone in that movie "conspiracy theory."

Other movies that I think may be in the top 10:

-Superman Returns
-X3
-M:I 3
-Ice Age 2
-Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
-Pirates of the Caribbean 2
-The Break Up
-Click
-Miami Vice
-My Super Ex-Girlfriend

That actually wouldn't surprise me

seems like Oliver Stone is always making movies about controversial subjects  :-\\

i love oliver stone. such an underdog!

did you ever see talk radio? that movie's amazing. he's made so many amazing movies. born on the fourth of july? forget about it, that movie's beautiful.




I never saw Talk Radio yet.  Is that the one with Eric Bogosian?  Always heard it was good

I remember early in the year they were heralding Brokeback Mountain as the biggest release of 2006.

I dunno about big grosser but united 93 was also very good, powerful stuff. innovative too, stylistically. I'd like to see it get an oscar or two.

I think Da Vinci Code is the most hyped film of 2006 at least.

Nacho Libre.

The new Yorker BODYSLAMMED da vinci code. I've been reading new Yorker movie reviews for years and I'm not sure I've ever read a review that brutal.

It's funny as hell though. one thing I love it's a good mocking ticked off movie review.

da vinci or superman. both have been hyped to the max.

United 93 is due for a release next month in the UK, but I do not think will achieve the number one position.

X-Men: The Last Stand has opened to record-breaking business in the US and Canada, taking $103.1m (

Yeah, it might be X-Men 3. I just realized if that is the top grossing film of 2006, than it would be the 4th year in a row that a sequel is the #1 movie. In 2003, it was Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, in 2004 it was Shrek 2, and in 2005 it was Star Wars - Episode III.

SNAKES ON A PLANE!



Let me guess.... It's about snakes...




on a plane?

Boy, what an original title! :D

Close.  It's also got Samuel L. Jackson in it. 

Which means it's about MUTH*ahem*KIN' snakes on a M*mmmphhh*IN' plane.  Got that?  Good.

And yes, I'm going to be seeing it on opening night.  It's going to be the best movie of the decade. 

^i'm going to dress up LIKE a snake for the occasion.

I compleetely agree and I can't wait to see it!!!  There is no way that a movie about snakes on a plane can be bad.

1970s:  Rocky Horror Picture Show (arguably the greatest cult movie of all time)
1980s:  Airplane?  (a distant, second)
1990s:  Office Space?  Army of Darkness?  Pulp Fiction?  (can't really think of any truly cult films at the moment)
2000s:  Snakes On A Plane (to be determined)

If enough people show up for SoaP, it could well turn into this generation's RHPS.  Airplane, Office Space, and AoD were great, but we're 20 years overdue for an honest-to-Dobbs cult hit that will keep audiences coming back for decades.

SoaP might be it.  Let's make it happen.  Even if it means Tia has to dress up like a snake, and I have to bring in a toy lightsaber with a couple of appropriate words engraved on it.

1990s i'd give to reservoir dogs. 1960s to night of the living dead. i guess you ahve to think, what would be run as a midnight movie for 10 years straight, if there were still midnight movies? NotLD was king until rocky horror came along.

and SoaP will have a long way to go to unseat donnie darko.

Love to see Snakes on a Plane make #1 just because it's pretty much considered a B movie, and would probably expect B movie payouts if it weren't for all the hype (and yes, I'm definitely seeing it). That said, I'm not sure the hype will be enough to make it #1, though I expect it to do fairly well. I'm guessing X-men 3 will take it, though the new Superman movie and the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie may give it some pretty stiff competition.
