There isn’t much in the landscape that could topple Total Recall. The Dark Knight Rises has been performing poorly as a holdover, but that may have more to do with the shooting than any perceived weakness, but since most seem to feel this is an inferior product to the prior film, that could explain it. Total Recall should easily pass Christopher Nolan’s film even with its lowest estimates.
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.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days: This kind of film appeals to an audience that does not correspond with our tastes.
Total Recall: Remaking older films doesn’t endear them to us, but they can still be mildly entertaining.
Celeste and Jesse Forever: It will undoubtedly be a minor indie romcom hit, but not one that breaks out into the popular culture.

ThoughtsNone of the films in the series have appealed to me, so this one isn’t even a consideration. |
ThoughtsThe dog days of summer indeed! |
ThoughtsThe Academy and I both avoided the first film, and we’ll do the same with this one. |

ThoughtsAs much as I didn’t want to see the original because of its star, this one seems to be the opposite. I haven’t always liked Colin Farrell, but this looks like a good deal of fun. |
ThoughtsAnother unnecessary remake. |
ThoughtsAn unnecessary remake that won’t do much better with the Oscars than the original did. |

ThoughtsIt looks like a slight film that might be amusing, but not enough for me to risk it. |
ThoughtsAnother quirky low-budget indepenedent comedy. I’ll skip it. |
ThoughtsLooks like an amusing enough film with a nice cast, but too trite for Oscar to take notice. |
