Monsters vs. Aliens vs. Avatar

From dark horizons, "This year it's Pirates, next year it's Indiana Jones, but the Memorial Day 2009 weekend is shaping up to be a battle royale between two major films helping to redefine cinema.

James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar" and Dreamworks CG animated tale "Monsters vs. Aliens", both features being released exclusively in 3D, are going head-to-head.

What makes the fight interesting is that there simply won't be enough screens to accomodate one, let alone both. At present there are only 700 screens capable of handling 3D projection.By May 2009 that figure is expected to rise to 5,000. However Katzenberg claims he needs 6,000 screens for 'Monsters'.

Cameron's "Avatar" is by far the more anticipated of the two and set its date first, thus don't be surprised if 'Monsters' gets delayed."

Maybe in the future movies will be somehow modular, so you will actually be able to pick two movies and make them fight each other when you hook them up to the right game console. You could do Die Hard vs. Mission Impossible, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Alien vs. Predator, or for some one-sided goofy fun, Rumble in the Bronx vs. Driving Miss Daisy.
