The Summer Movie Blockbuster Race

So it begins again...Hollywood is out to get your top dollar at the box office this summer. And already it is heating up. After last week's spectacular results of the long-awaited sequel "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (earning over $300 million in its first week alone worldwide), here comes "Sex And The City", taking first place. Hmmmm...that just tells you something. It sounds like the possibility of a bona-fide runaway box office smash is not very good. Here today, gone tomorrow, it seems. With the state of the economy and the outbreak of cable channels everywhere, is it any wonder the chemistry of a Hollywood box office hit isn't there? Well, it's not over yet, folks. The race has only begun. Personally, I can't wait to see "The Dark Knight" since I'm a Batman fan myself.
