Water for Elephants on Box Office Mojo’s 2011 ”Preview: Ten Miscellaneous Contenders” List   Leave a comment

From Box Office Mojo:

While sequels, remakes, comic book adap­ta­tions and ani­mated movies will inevitably dom­i­nate 2011?s box office, there will still be a few hits that don’t fall in to any of these cat­e­gories. In 2009, there was Avatar, The Hang­overand The Blind Side, and in 2010 there was Incep­tion. Here’s a look at ten of the con­tenders, includ­ing three high-profile book adap­ta­tions, a few alien inva­sion movies, a poten­tial Twi­light suc­ces­sor or two and some wholly orig­i­nal wild cards. – Water for Ele­phants (April 22): It’s easy to dis­miss Robert Pat­tin­son as just part of the Twi­light craze thanks to the poor box office per­for­mance ofRe­mem­ber Me last March. How­ever, his next movie Water for Ele­phants is poised to be much more suc­cess­ful: it’s helmed by block­buster direc­tor Fran­cis Lawrence (I Am Leg­end), has inter­est­ing co-stars Reese With­er­spoon and Christoph Waltz and is based on a report­edly pop­u­lar book.
