This thread will be used to discuss the box office for 2010 and track the 100 million dollar films. I will make a top 10 prediction not sure how right I will be but I am going to give it a shot.

1 Iron Man 2 425
2 Toy Story 3 410
3 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 325
4 Shrek Forever After 303
5 Inception 290
6 Twilight Saga: Eclipse 275
7 Alice in Wonderland 235
8 Gulliver's Travels 210
9 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader 203
10 The A-Team 195
Other candidates
Clash of the Titans it has that 300 look and Avatar star Sam Worthington
How to Train Your Dragon- The newest Dreamworks animated movie
Robin Hood- I don't think it will do it because I have this feeling it will flop but I have to consider it.
Prince of Persia: Between this and Robin Hood, I could see one being the biggest flop of 2010.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice- Disney Movie staring Nicholas Cage based on the animated story. It is Jerry Bruckenhimer so you never know.
Little Fockers: Third entry in the Meet the Parents series. I would put it over 200 but it is in the Summer and I just don't see it making as much.

I am not sure about anything else, but I am sure there could be several surprises like The Hangover and the Blind Side, neither of which I never would have predicted.

How to Train Your Dragon looks really cute, I predict it will do about as well as an Ice Age movie. I wish they weren't making another Shrek movie. :x

Me too. I thought--and still think--that the first one was brilliant. But I have not liked the second and third ones at all, they're just pale retreads of the first one. The fourth one will do well at the BO, but I'm not sure if it will do really boffo business.

Some of the Kiskaloo and Lilo and Stitch fans among us might have noticed the similarities in the art style...
Chris Sanders went to Dreamworks to work on this movies after Disney decided that they do not need hand drawn movies anymore...
I am really looking forward to this movie.
