That might well be true, Alice. But none of them vote in the Academy Award nominations, and it is unrealistic to paint the most recent weekend summer blockbuster opening's popularity (or lack thereof) as a "shoe in" for anything, from top summer box office of all time to awards nominations for the year's best.

Every couple of summers some film that nails the "summer blockbuster" formula, and breaks the opening weekend records. The won't make the film the highest grossing film of all time, or possibly even of the summer. No way of knowing that yet.

Don't forget, there have been indie sleepers that became blockbusters (like Blair Witch Project), documentary films that became blockbusters (Fahrenheit 9/11), and far more critically acclaimed films like The Matrix, which are on the top of most film critics' "Best Summer Blockbusters" lists.

So it is a bit premature, Monday after the opening weekend of a film with a celebrity death cult following, to be making predictions as to what role in film history this film will have.
