The Biggest Box-Office Battles of the Year: Who Will Win?
Call it a clash of the titans. Steven Spielberg, David Fincher, and Cameron Crowe are three of the biggest directors in Hollywood and this year, all three have movies coming out on the exact same day. You rarely get a matchup of this caliber on the release calendar, but 2011 is already so overstuffed with franchise hopefuls and megabudget superhero flicks that there are several box-office battle royales brewing. When there are so many movies fighting for the same audience, who will come out ahead? Vulture's taken a look at the nine most intriguing matchups to pick a winner.

Happy Feet 2
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part One
VERDICT: Consider this a more lopsided version of the Hangover/Kung Fu Panda matchup. Breaking Dawn will be the clear winner here — it's got all the things this franchise has been building to, including a wedding, sex, and a bloodthirsty vampire baby — but it's skewing more adult than the past three Twilight movies, giving Happy Feet 2 (whose 2006 predecessor grossed a little under $200 million) room to breathe.
