What are you expecting the situation to be at the end of the year? Twilight is an obvious hit, so is Sherlock Holmes. I can't think of any other release other than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. |
Sherlock Holmes looks terrible. I wouldn't be shocked if it did Cowboys & Aliens business
Tattoo is no guarantee. It's very dark, unpleasant material for Xmas, and Daniel Craig is box office poison.
Most of these look like hits, and a few might break out and become huge: Paranormal 3, Puss in Boots, The Muppets, Alvin & The Chipmunks 3, Mission Impossible 4, Happy Feet Two, New Year's Eve, Tin Tin.
And then there might be some awards contender breakouts like Black Swan or The King's Speech, but that might boost 2012 more than 2011.
Viola Davis should be nominated for "Best Actress" category at the Oscars. I definitely think Emma Stone is worthy for a Supporting actress category at the Golden Globes. The ending had a bittersweet moment because she's finally able to retire, but that little girl crying for help was so sad. 5/5
