Here are the top ten films this summer in terms box office dollars. Talladega Nights still has a chance to pass MI:3 since it’s still in the theatres.
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
2. Cars
3. X-Men: The Last Stand
4. The Da Vinci Code
5. Superman Returns
6. Over The Hedge
7. Click
8. Mission Impossible 3
9. Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby
10. The Devil Wears Prada
I saw 15 films this summer. This is the most I’ve since 1999.
Using a GPA system (I assigned a 1 for D) the 15 films I saw equal 2.64
Overall it was a real mix bag of some quality flicks and some real stinkers.
Best Movie: Mission Impossible 3
Once again Tom Cruise delivers. You can’t deny the fact his movies are virtually locks to gross 100+ million at the box office. The action was top notch as well as the acting. Keri Russell and Philip Seymour Hoffman really stood out. The ending had me on the edge of my seat.
Worst Movie: Miami Vice
Who knew Michael Mann could make a terrible film. This film was a complete mess from start to finish. Foxx and Farrell just mailed it in. The action sequences were un-inspiring. This film isn’t even worth watching for free. One of the ten worst films I’ve seen in my life.
Biggest Box Office Bust: Snakes On A Plane
An extremely disappointing opening weekend and then it only made 6.4 million this past weekend. This film had more than a years worth of hype behind it. The main problem is that the film is Rated R in the US but the target audience is teenagers. That’s a bad combination. Frankly I don’t even understand why the film was Rated R. Their was barely any nudity and swearing. The Americans have a really wacko movie classification system. Snakes On A Plane is rated 14A here.
Out of all the films I saw, the only person I see being nominated for an Oscar is Meryl Streep for her performance as a vicious boss in The Devil Wears Prada.
The Director that had his stock drop the most was Manoj Knight Shyamalan. A lot of people have been unhappy with his last 3 films. Making one brilliant movie can only take you so far.
It felt like there were less sequels compared to the past couple summer movie seasons.
There are still a lot of movies from this summer that I want to see, although not in the threatre. I’ll check these out on DVD:
1. The Break Up
2. You, Me and Dupree
3. The Lake House
4. Little Miss Sunshine
5. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
6. Accepted
7. Clerks 2
8. Little Man
9. Trust The Man
10. Beerfest
As for the 2007 Summer Movies, this is my current Top 5:
1. Spiderman 3
2. Rush Hour 3
3. The Bourne Ultimatum
4. Knocked Up
5. Live Free or Die Hard
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
2. Cars
3. X-Men: The Last Stand
4. The Da Vinci Code
5. Superman Returns
