Summer 2012 Box Office Preview: Final Part - The Top 10 Highest-Grossing Films of the Summer...

Here's what I think the Top 10 for the Summer will look like:

#10: The Bourne Legacy
$40 million opening, $115 million domestic, $330 million worldwide.

#9: G.I. Joe: Retaliation
$46 million opening, $110 million domestic, $350 million worldwide

#8: Battleship
$47 million opening, $120 million domestic, $400 million worldwide

#7: Men in Black III
$43 million 3-day start ($61 million 4-day start), $130 million domestic, $415 million worldwide

#6: Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
$44 million start, $145 million domestic, $500 million worldwide

#5: Brave
$48 million start, $160 million domestic, $500 million worldwide

#4: The Amazing Spider-Man
$55 million start ($95 million since Tuesday), $180 million domestic, $600 million worldwide

#3: Ice Age: Continental Drift
$45 million start, $160 million domestic, $800 million worldwide

#2: The Avengers
$150 million start, $330 million domestic, $880 million worldwide

#1: The Dark Knight Rises
$165 million start, $415 million domestic, $1 billion worldwide


Some of you may wonder why I may not have put Promethus or Dark Shadows on the list, and while they may get past $100 million stateside, they won't be nearly as strong overseas as the Top 10...
