I rely on the old standard for determining a blockbuster, with a little modification: Gross 2-3 times production cost or exceed $100 million, whichever is higher. Thus, Seabiscuit is a blockbuster and Wild Wild West is a bomb.

I dread the coming of May 8 and Melrose Trek, yet Son & I will be there opening day because we’re just that stupid about Trek.

We’ll also be there opening day for Revenge of the Fallen, because we’re just that stupid about big transforming robots, oh yeah. I’ll be a lot happier going into this one, though.

It depends on what the meaning of the words ‘is’ is….I remember when “Seabiscuit” was being called a blockbuster long before it crossed the $100 M mark, and “Wild Wild West” being called a bomb even though it grossed $113 M…what will constitute scoring big at the b.o. for these films?
That stated, my fantasy fanboy self has the Wolverine (fun, supplemental fact: Wolverine debuted not in the X-Men, but in the Hulk, comic), Star Trek (fun supplemental fact: add the late Ricardo Montalban to the interracial kissing list), and Night at the Museum (fun alternate fact: the film’s Crystal the Monkey, “Dexter,” actually is listed as ‘actress’)
