Get out your datebook—the headlining movies for 2009 have been posted, and it looks like sequels, prequels and remakes are at the top of the list. It’s not surprising since these franchises are almost guaranteed money makers.
Via Yahoo:
“Despite the recession, blockbuster franchise flicks have rung up killer box-office returns. Studios hope that continues this year with such familiar names as “Harry Potter,” “Hannah Montana,” “Star Trek,” “Transformers,” “X-Men,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” “Ice Age,” “The Terminator” and “Sherlock Holmes.”"
After looking through the list, I can tell you that “Transformers 2″, “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince“, “X-Men” and “New Moon” are at the top of my list. But the surprise? “Fame”, which stars relatively unknowns like Naturi Naughton and Key Panabaker. Although it does have a reconnection of Kelsey Grammar and Bebe Neuwirth from their Cheers! days. Further, 2009 is going to have the comeback of James Cameron with his movie “Avatar”.
All in all, I say 2009 looks exciting and will commence the year with seeing “Confessions of a Shopaholic“, which comes out February 13.
