So, the other day (after Wolverine) some friends and I questioned what we thought was going to prove the biggest blockbuster this summer. That is a great question, as this summer boasts many big budget films that have wide ranges for their audiences. Now, Im going to guess that the biggest movies this summer will be (in no order): Star Trek, Harry Potter, Transformers 2, Terminator Salvation, and Up (maybe Public Enemies). 
Its interesting to break this summer down, because Star Trek has an enormous fanbase of all ages, Harry potter is more for the fans of the books and blockbuster seekers, Transformers has the people who just want popcorn and explosions, Terminator Salvation has a surprisingly huge fanbase and great marketing, Up will be seen by like everyone of every age, and Public Enemies by those who like gangster movies and good acting/story.
But If I was to put money on a film's global box office, (I defiantly think its between Star Trek, Harry Potter and Up) I would go with Harry Potter.
I think Harry Potter will have an easier time getting families to go to the movies, than perhaps Star Trek. Both will probably compete for the biggest summer movie, but since fans have waited for almost two and a half years. Plus, Harry Potter's fan base has been around. Star Trek's franchise has been a bit stagnant for a while. Not to mention, that Harry Potter is a world wide sensation while Star Trek, correct me if Im wrong, has mostly an American following. Up, however, will be a big deal (for families, but will probably loose out on the majority of the 15+ age group) and will no doubt be the family film of summer.
But all in all, Im really excited for all of them...
