Think about it. There are probably three or four dozen good looking films hitting the big screen this year. That's about twice as much as there normally is. But will the over abundance of potential blockbusters be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Although everything might fall into place. Everything could work though it's highly doubtful everything will. Something will flop. But could the film industry flop? C'mon Spidey, Shrek, and Sparrow within four weeks of each other. And with Shrek being animated, it could fall disastrously. And Justin Timberlake? I bet Richard Simmons could act better than he could. What about Spidey? Could too many plotlines cause the movie to sink? And let's not forget Pirates. With all the loose ends this has to tie up, it could be messier than Jack after the Kraken spewed mucus on him. Silver Surfer, Surfing Penguins, Oceanic Criminals, God calling upon a looney senator, a Pixar rodent,and dying hard all within a month. And let's not forget the three aforementioned movies that are released in May. They could still be rolling in dough within a month, it's almost a safe bet they will be. Then comes July with Transformers, Hogwarts, and ironically D'oh! All of which are pop culture phenomenons. Heck, this is only summer, there are still questions for the early and late of 2007. Could Bridge to Terabithia have the relative success of Narnia? Will Ghost Rider swing like Spidey or crash like the Hulk? Will Wilbur Robinson become the next Jimmy Neutron? Can the Ninja Turtles successfully make a comeback? The late of the year. Can Bee Movie make any buzz,(no pun intended,) following up the Dreamwork's roster after the potential blockbuster Shrek the Third? Can Robert Zemeckis successfully transfer the majestic book Beowulf from page to screen? And will National Treasure: The Book of Secrets dominate over the I Robot-esque I Am Legend? All these movies could come together to make an empire and boost theater attendance again or they could end up being a titanic, (another no pun intended,) catastrophe. And then comes 2008 with Madagascar 2, Another Harry Potter, Another Narnia, and the recently announced Indiana Jones 4. DVD could skyrocket with bad box office sales, sending the old time tradition of movie theaters into possibly eternal seclusion. Or DVD's coud rise along with a box office boom if everything fits into a brilliant puzzle. But who really knows what will happen, it's Hollywood. 2007 could make or break the film industry. Think about it.

All good points. However, an over-abundance of highly anticipated films tends to lead to another problem. Shortened runs at the box office. Think about it. Theaters only have so many screens. If a film is set to be released in so many theaters, something has to get bumped. Movies are only guaranteed 14 days (21 days if it's a huge blockbuster) in theaters. What good movies will get the shaft and not make their full potential simply because they fell victim to timing and a lack of screens??

2003 had a huge bunch of big summer movies, from may til september there was practically 1 BIG movie every week.

This year may be a bit bigger, maybe a bit smaller, but it should be fine.

This is the most rediculous thing I have ever read. How many films broke the $200 million barrier this past year? More films will draw more people to the theaters. The run off traffic will just mean more business for smaller counterprogramming flicks.

Well, with the over-abundance of movies within the same month, people that arent die hard fans will either only see what they want one time, or there will be those who have so much to choose from, see one, and then only see it once.

Also, many of the films you mentioned will bomb. Not because of a downturn in audience interest or an overcrowding of films. They will bomb because they should. Bee Movie will do basically what Over the Hedge or any other third rate animated film that doesn't have Pixar or Shrek somewhere on the poser will do.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will bomb because they are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and this isn't 1989 anymore. Madagascar will bomb because sequels to animated films that do not have Pixar or Shrek on the poster bomb.
And Transformers could go either way.

But none of this will have an impact on the yearly totals. People will see movies, but only the ones that are good or that they like.

ice age 2 did better than the 1st, and besides most animated films don't have sequels yet so u can't say they will bomb because they aren't shrek or pixar

re: Longhsot

Well I don't think TMNT will bomb. They won't be a blockbuster but they've proven they are popular and can be successful in any era. Plus it seems like all these CGI movies make at least $200M.

re: 8O

Don't forget that hitman just got a release date for this year. You can also add rush hour 3, resident evil and what I believe will be a huge hit Food Fight.

Also speed racer got a release date for 2008. Then there's the Dark Knight and Iron man. Some hopefuls with street fighter, wonder woman, wolverine, and the smurfs. I just hope nothing flops.

Yea all this sounds alarming, but most will go out and see them. I do feel like with soo many good movies that are gonna come out this year, that people may not see all the movies they want, and that could lower the $total of that movie. Im gonna see as many movies that i can, just that theres too many possibilities and im gonna have to spend ALOT + $ for the dvd's. F*ck.

U must first tear down the old 2 rebuild the new. This iz only natural. Tranzitional periodz R alwayz rough. Fear 2 early, and U will come around 2 late. The secret iz no mind. Go with the flow. Water in motion iz hard 2 stop. Water will round out the rock, but the middle stayz unchanged and dry. 2007 will B an EPIC year 2 remember in and out of Hollywood!
