What will be the summer's biggest bomb?

Umfortunately, Catwoman might not be the big bomb that it should. Halle's looks alone will pull in some moviegoers. It wil definitely bomb, but maybe not the biggest bomb this summer.

Catwoman had a $100 mil budget so my vote goes to Catwoman. It also opens against the Bourne Supremecy which should get most of the action fare buisness. The Village, Manchurian Candidate and Thunderbirds open the week after. Expect Catwoman to drop like a rock.

Whoa, Catwoman gets a lot of hostility here! 
Probably I should watch the trailer (didn't bother yet.)
From the previews I've seen, unfortunately I have to go with Riddick.
Although I loved Pitch Black, this monster of a movie looks radiculos.

I remember when the thread first started, someone voted for Spiderman - I guess they changed their mind.

I think your Riddick numbers seem low. Everything I read lists international BO being a little bit higher than the domestic take, for a total of like 110 million. Or so I recall.
The rest is on target. Thunderbirds had to hurt.

Wow, I forgot all about starting this thread way back when. "Catwoman" was a nobrainer but a lot of these others like "Riddick" and "Thunderbirds" did equally bad.
"Troy" got pegged as a mild disappointment but really when you factor in the huge international success it was one of the year's biggest hits!
