The Top 10 - Summer 2007 Jack Sparrow is not going to threepeat this time.

[Dangerman_1973 0]

At the beginning of this summer movie season, the heavy favorites in this race would be a three-peat of the "dynamic duo" of Johnny Deep's Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Carribean franchise and the CGI wizards at Pizar. Well not this time.

 

In the rematch from Summer 2004, Spider-Man, Shrek, Harry Potter and Jason Bourne battle each other in an all-out box office brawl and thwarted Jack and the Pixar boys' chance of giving new term to the phrase "Three times the charm". And with special guest stars NYPD detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) from the Die Hard franchise, and Hong Kong inspector Lee and LAPD cop Carter (Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker) from the Rush Hour films, this summer proved to be one of the greatest seasons in recent movie history.

 

Add to that are the sleepers in the form of R-rated gross out comedies Knocked Up and Superbad. It's nice to have some originality added to the already specutlar lineup. And The Simpsons Movie became one of the highest grossing TV-to-movie adaptations to date. There are a few bombs like the videogame adaptation Dead or Alive, the "torture porn" horror films of Captivity and Hostel Part II, the much-delayed Nicole Kidman/Daniel Craig sci-fi thriller The Invasion and the Jet Li/Jason Statham martial arts bulletfest WAR. But other than that, this summer is hassle-free.

 

Here are the box office results of Summer 2007 according to BoxOfficeMojo.com (as of August 27th):

 

1 Spider-Man 3 Sony $336,530,303

2 Shrek the Third P/DW $321,012,359

3 Transformers P/DW $308,631,000

4 Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End BV $307,829,257

5 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix WB $283,309,000

6 Ratatouille BV $199,036,000

7 The Bourne Ultimatum Uni. $185,143,000

8 The Simpsons Movie Fox $173,437,000

9 Knocked Up Uni. $147,730,000

10 Live Free or Die Hard Fox $132,833,171

 

Same time next summer.

I'm surprised Spiderman 3 is at the top. I thought it sucked real bad, same goes with Shrek 3. I'm really surprised that Oceans 13 isn't up there.

I think transformers should be second it was much better than shrek but seeing that shrek brought in all the kids and there moms i guess why it got so high even thou the movie was not all that good.

There were a few good movies that weren't in the top ten, and a few bad movies that were in the top 10. You have to think about the fact that most kids who can afford it went to Spiderman 3, it is a classic, plus tons of moms and little kids went to Shrek 3 and Rattouille. I was suprised that Oceans 13 and Superbad weren't in there, but I guess they didn't make the cut with all the other good films in the top 10.

Well, Superbad is released in mid August. So it's late in the summer. just want until the September numbers come up. I'm sure Superbad might make it to the $100 million mark soon.
