Weekend Recap: Comic Con, Batman, 'Pirates,' 'Tron'

Tons of Comic Con content this weekend, and in fact, there's way too much to cover here or anywhere else. That's what happens with a big four-day event where the entire industry tries to one-up the competition. I wonder what effect, if any, the Con had on Harry Potter, which didn't do as much business as it was expected to, even in its second weekend. Suprisingly, the film made less money over the same period as the fifth film in the series and had the second biggest drop from one weekend to the next, even though it's one of the three best movies in the franchise. That's a little disappointing, actually. Here are some of the headlines from the past few days, from here and other places: Pirates 4 to shoot next spring Check out 15 minutes of free Avatar on August 21st Gary Oldman suggests the third Batman movie will happen sooner than later Robert Downey, Jr. joins Due Date with Zach Galifianakis Wanted 2 aims for the end of the year to start production The new Tron trailer rocks my world James Cameron and Peter Jackson talk movies and the future of the industry at Comic Con
