Well, I know it sounds difficult but I think I can put together a couple of films that were supposed to make a lot of money for the makers but didn’t exactly make their mark.

One of the prominent movie which could be at the top of the list come to think of it is the Nicole Kidman-Daniel Craig starrer, The Golden Compass. Before you come to any conclusions, I must say that it is not the movie’s fault at all. Nor are the stars to be blamed. It is the studio (NewLine Cinema) which should have released this movie a little later like in Summer of 2008?  That should have helped get it the recognition it needed.

Another movie making this list is AVPR: Alien vs Predator: Requiem. This movie should have been made with a little better story and it could do with a bit of old school techniques like what the original Alien used, courtesy Ridley Scott!

TGC is reminiscent of the Polar Express (featuring Tom Hanks) which was released at the same time around but atleast it was related with the Christmas season.

Anyway the studios should be a little more careful the next time when they place their movies for release. I hope they are and that they bring us some more action packed stuff to digest.

Although 2007 has been a great turn around benchmark year for Hollywood with great hits raining right, left and center this Summer. It was indeed one of the most profitable years for the boys in Hollywood starting with Spider-Man 3 and Transformers and ending on a high note this summer.

Let’s hope 2008 turns out even better what with, The Incredible Hulk lined up for release this summer.
