Define "first big hit of the year". That's pretty much a movable feast isn't it, because I can counter with a big budget film from Feburary this year, Jack the Giant Slayer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Giant_Slayer#Box_office) and you could argue that Feb isn't near enough the...

Hmmm. I wasn't defending anything EA have done. I opted out of their BS some time ago.

"Big Hit" flops are 'something unheard' of in movies? Seriously? Tom Cruise's oblivion was a box office flop, World War Z was looking very questionable for a while, to name just two. And your "tens of movies" thing - you're cherry picking... you're putting the best of the movie scene up...
