2009 was a huge year for Hollywood, bringing in around $10.6 billion domestically and beating 2008’s box office take by more than 10%. 2010 is already off to an even stronger start than last year, with box office receipts up 23% compared to the first two weeks of ’09.

We’re just getting started too, according to some studio executives who feel that 2010 box office receipts are going to beat last year’s impressive totals.

There’s no doubt in the mind of Warner Bros. distribution president Dan Fellman, for example, who said the following about 2010’s potential take versus 2009’s:
“It’s going to beat it. . . You’ve got ‘Avatar’ [alone] in there banging away at $40 million a week.”
Here’s a studio-by-studio preview highlighting the major films we can look forward to seeing in the first half of 2010, courtesy of industry journal The Wrap. Take a look at the upcoming release slate and let us know in the comments which films will be the winners and which will be the clunkers. Which ones are you looking forward to catching in theaters and which are better left to Redbox or Netflix?

I’m pretty sure most of us glazed to find Iron Man 2, giggled a little in glee, then glazed down the rest of the list to the comments.
… Really, that was just me?
Not just you. I did the same thing. IM2 is probably the only one we will see in the theaters in the first half of the year.

Our teenage daughter is thirteen going on thirty. She is mad now that we censor everything she watches. There is very little on Television today that we discover appropriate for the teenager. A few months ago, we discovered that you can Watch Frasier Online. along with quite a few other exhibits. This is fantastic as we can watch a show and determine whether or not it’s suitable for the child of her age. She is quite mature for just a thirteen year old, but there are issues we even now do not think she needs to know about. It’s a fine line we continuously walk, but it’s part of our employment as parents.
