Topic: Summer hit


  
  Edison Media Research: Okay, So What Was The Summer Hit Of 2006?
I'd suggested in May that most of the potential summer smashes were already on the agenda by that time.
I think of the whole concept of trying to pick the monster hit of the summer and sigh...longing for the days when our collective attention was focused enough to HAVE one big song we ALL rallied around.
But summer is still too much a part of everybody's lives and, at its best, a time enjoyed with others.

Nope, on May 16 of this year — three days before the official wide release of Star Wars III kicks off the summer movie season — I went to the man I trust the most when it comes to predicting cinematic success and failure, the guy who's almost never wrong.
Good or bad, it should succeed splendidly, because — let's face it — summer wouldn't be summer without flesh-eating zombies.
