I think they typo'd number 3, so I did my own math on it.

Not really that surprisng...but daggone. Three Billion Dollar films.

The only thing on the list I saw was Hangover II, but I will remedy that soon because I plan on buy the Rise of the Planet of the Apes Blu Ray.

The only two of those I saw were Fast Five and Planet of the Apes. Loved em both. Really fun movies.

Damn, I never would've thought Rise of the Planet of the Apes would do that well.

Same here, but like the article said, it ended up being WAY better than most people probably expected and got a lot of word of mouth praise. I know I wasn't planning on watching it at all but totally loved it.

And I hated most of the ones I saw.

[Michael Coello]

Writer sounds like a douche, to be honest.

[Deleted]

Only one I've seen of those is Hangover 2. I plan to keep it that way.

[VenomFang]

I really thought Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Smurfs would bomb.

[legendkiller1985]

only saw Hangover II and Fast Five. I thought Thor, X-Men First Class and Capt. America did ok financially.

They did do ok. But that's just it, "ok". These 10 films did GREAT.

They made back their budget multiple times over. Thor, X-Men, and Capt. can't really say that.

[Next Level was WRONG]

What, no "The Future"? With all the advertising it got?



Seriously though, who the hell went to see The Smurfs?

Kids and their parents?
