I reckon Mind will be November 2014 or Summer 2015 and the Dinosaur film will take May 30th, June 26th could be Captain America 2, no way will Disney the weekend before the big holiday weekend go.

I know Tangled was a success but I think they should kept it as The Snow Queen but that could easily change. It is CGI or traditionally animated? After The Lion King 3D proved that it was possible to convert a traditionally animated film into 3D and be successful.The Dinosaur film I wouldn't be surprised if that is moved to summer and the Brain film to November 2014 or Summer 2015.

In IMAX and selected cinemas only, it goes on general release on Boxing Day along with TGWTDT.

Just outgrossing M:IIII will be enough for M:IV, they should bring back Brad Bird as he's managed to breathe in new life into the series, I wouldn't suprise if Paramount offers to greenlit 1906 in order to get him to do another Mission Impossible.

I so want Star Spangled Man to be nominated, think one of the songs from The Muppets will get a nod.

I get the feeling Sony only submitted it in order to boost the chance of getting Arthur Christmas a nomination.

Tron suffered from the terrible weather. Avatar IIRC launched really well, its run was incredible.A few family films have had good runs. I think 3D has meant families have become more selected although we've seen The Smurfs having strong legs as has Arthur Christmas and Rio.

I think TGWTDT should do well, I'm unsure what would be a good total as it's not a blockbuster in the same way as Sherlock Holmes or Mission Impossible. I think £10-12m total would be good.

Alvin did worse than expected especially as that £2.3m figures includes the previews from last week, it actually did £1.69m, AC had another fantastic drop, it should hit £16m by Boxing Day.

Tom Cruise's only 49 but I think the gap between MIGP and MIV will be around 3-4 years so Summer 2014 or 2015 would be my guess.

I think it'll well enough for the next two films to be greenlit. I think $200m OS is likely, it's an adult thriller so its more likely to have good legs and weekdays than a big OW.

It's getting good WOM so I think Mission Impossible 5 will happen but probably not until 2014/2015 at the earliest and most likely Paramount will schedule it back for a summer release. The Mission Impossible films tend to have long periods of time between each film, Mission Impossible II was 4 years after Mission Impossible, III was 6 years and GP was 5 and a half years.

It's actually slightly up from the first film which did £3.1m but that was over two days but it isn't going to match the £25m final total, Alvin definetly underperformed because excluding previews it did £1.9m.

War Horse should do well but its not one I'd prebook for, I imagine it'll have a leggy run.

I think while a drop in ticket prices is unlikely, maybe a price freeze would be a suggestion? I do think studios are becoming cost conscious with stuff like comedy and drama and saving their money for their tentpoles, Bad Teacher cost just $20m but rake in 10 times as much WW I can definetly see more midrange films being released.As for audiences, I try and avoid Fridays and weekends as well as 2for1 days because it attracts people who really have no manners, my pet hates are talking and texting, while pay to see a film if you're talk all the way through it?I've noticed this year, the breakout hits have been comedies, I wonder if perhaps audiences in these times are looking for something to lighten the mood rather than the usual blockbusters.

MIGP should do good business from both IMAX and general release and it's got IMAX to itself for at least a month or two. TGWTDT has been advertised heavily, £4-5m 7 Days seems likely for it.

Sherlock, Alvin, Puss and Arthur will benefit from Christmas week although I think AC will be out of cinemas by Boxing Day, it's had quite a long run though and a successful one at that.

I went this evening and it was pretty busy, should easily beat the first film's OW although that only had a two day weekend so not a fair comparision. I agree, Stephen Fry as Mycroft was awesome!

Well they can't open on Christmas Day as most cinemas are shut unlike in the US but Boxing Day-NYD is usually a busy one but I think both MIGP and TGWTDT should have taken advantage of no releases on the 21-24 December.

Sherlock Holmes should have a big OW, Alvin I think will do less than the last film but should still do well. Will be interesting how Mission Impossible does when it opens in IMAX on Wednesday.

Very good for MIGP and SH, wonder if more films will do this if MIGP does good for the IMAX performances, Paramount are doing a similar strategy in the UK releasing it on the 21st December in IMAX and other superscreens before its general release on Boxing Day although TBH I think Paramount should have simply release it wide on the 21st because there's nothing out that week.

I think it'll be Tintin, Arthur Christmas, Rango, Rio and either Cars 2 or Kung Fu Panda 2 for the current nominations. Next year's animated films look a lot stronger and they'll easily get the five nominations for the 2012/13 Oscars.

Sony have had a good year considering like last year they had no real tentpoles. The Smurfs was a smash hit while they continued their strategy of low cost films such as Bad Teacher which managed to do good business on a $20m budget, Adam Sandler provided them with a hit in Just Go With It and a dissapointment in Jack and Jill, Arthur Christmas, their first collaboration with Aardman has dissapointed domestically but seems to be fairing well OS. Another success was Tintin which they share with Paramount and should ensure a sequel. The last release of the year is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which I think will do well especially overseas where the books are extremely popular.Next year they have some major tentpoles with Men in Black III, The Amazing Spider-Man and Skyfall. They also have the return of Ghost Rider and Resident Evil as well as two animated films in The Pirates! and Hotel Transylvania and remakes of Total Recall and 21 Jump Street.

In the UK, there's only Sherlock Holmes and MIGP for the general audience, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will do well but its aimed at an older audience. SH should be big OS but I think MI may outgross it.
