The Biggest Winner for 2013 will be....
 

I was thinking about the year ahead and which movies will succeed and which will inevitably fail. So, what better way to test the waters than a poll. Personally i think that there are no brainers such as Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Monster University and of course the next chapter in the Hobbit that will make truck loads of cash. But which do you think will be the top earner?

Hunger Games 2

What a depressing line-up of movies. Two superhero sequels, a superhero reboot, a Hobbit sequel, a Hunger Games sequel, a GI Joe sequel, a F&F sequel, a Die Hard sequel, two CG-animated film sequels, two "reimagined" fairy tale properties... recipe for schlock.

Say what you want about Cloud Atlas, but I didn't see it either.

Probably some Marvel piece of shit.

Not that I have any interest in it, but I can see The Hunger Games sequel winning the year.

I'm going with my gut and saying it's going to be The Hobbit (is The Desolation of Smaug the actual title?:lol:)

Iron Man 3 may be the big winner though. People seem to be going cuckoo for the teaser trailer.

Iron Man 3. And with Shane Black? It might also actually be good!

I think the Hobbit looks like shit.

Hunger Games 2

Hunger Games 2 easy

Re: The Biggest Winner for 2013 will be....
 

Since The Hobbit is now a trilogy I would think Smaug wouldn't even be in the first one.

Re: The Biggest Winner for 2013 will be....
 

If Man of Steel is good (I'm being optimistic) I think it has potential.

Pacific Rim. July 13 2013. Biggest Worldwide gross for the year

Has anyone thought for a moment The Hobbit might flop? I think a lot of people that have no knowledge of what the tone of the Hobbit book will go in thinking it'll be a serious and dark film like LOTR and come out disappointed.

Man Of Steel

Re: The Biggest Winner for 2013 will be....
 

Other: Star Trek Into Darkness

You said the same thing a few months ago about CLOUD ATLAS, didn't you? :D

Re: The Biggest Winner for 2013 will be....
 

Out of the ones on the poll (so ignoring the new Star Trek movie), I think the order of the Top-4 will be this:

#1 Iron Man 3 (release date: May 3, 2013)

#2 The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (release date: 13 December 2013)

#3 Man of Steel (release date: June 14, 2013)

#4 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (release date: November 22, 2013)


I pick Iron Man 3 because of its early May release date. It'll have a full 2 weeks of no major box office opposition until Star Trek Into Darkness opens on May 17th. I think it will get such a head start on box office totals during those 2 weeks, that nothing released later will have a chance to catch it.

He has to figure in the first at least as a flashback showing his attack on the dwarves and how he drove them from the North.
