Tyler Perry’s the only name on this list that has any kind of following, so a solid opening is guaranteed. The others are all questionable, though Act of Valor could do well.
Consensus
Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.
Act of Valor: Will it be the hit its producers want it to be or another flash-in-the-pan film forgotten shortly after release?
Gone: Whether horror or thriller, it doesn’t seem to be appealing to many.
Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds: You can’t deny that Perry knows how to market a film to his target demographic.
Wanderlust: It might be funny. It might be dreadful. A lot depends on how well Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston work together.
Tomorrow When the War Began: The film has crept into consciousness, which means it could be a hit or a failure and no one will know for sure until it is or is not.
