What do you think is going to be a better action

I've seen both trailers and they look phenominal, here are the synopsis for each from Yahoo.com:

 

Hellboy

 

When a Nazi mystical experiment goes awry in 1944, the target of a wizard's spell, the child of Satan, Hellboy, is wrenched from his home, and adopted by the U.S. agents who intercept his arrival. Raised as a force of good, Hellboy grows up to be a full-fledged demon in the form of a man, complete with fierce red skin, a tail, a giant armored glove, and two large circles where his horns should be (if they ever grow back, Hellboy is quick to break them off). Now, the adult Hellboy, an investigator of the paranormal, is sent on a mission that brings him back in touch with the evil genius that started it all... that Nazi wizard (and just who is *he* anyway?). Accompanying him along the way are other agents, including Liz, a pyrokinetic woman Hellboy has feelings for, and Abe Sapien, a mysterious amphibian hominid...

 

Van Helsing

 

Set in the late 19th century, monster hunter Dr. Gabriel Van Helsing (Jackman) is summoned to a mysterious land in East Europe to vanquish evil forces... evil forces with names like Count Dracula (Roxburgh), the Wolf Man (Kemp), and Frankenstein's Monster (Hensley). Assisting him once he gets there is Anna (Beckinsale), the heir of a long-running family committed to hunting down and destroying Dracula.

Van Helsing will make more money because its star is a bigger draw and the plot is more well known. Now wheither or not it is based on Vampire Hunter D, Castlevania, or anime it does not matter because the people will see it anyway. It's basically Wolverine vs the guy from Beauty & the Beast.

My love for comics (and del Toro's obvious love for the material) skews me towards Hellboy. Plus, who doesn't want to see Ron Perlman do well?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Alien vs. Predator will be cooler than both. Anything designed by H.R. Giger will win.

I predict Hellboy will make $7 Million and Van Hellsing will make $8 million on the opening weekend.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Van Helsing ? 8 Million, opening weekend ? HIGHLY doubt it.

[Star Ocean 3 0]

I don't believe Satan would actually name his kid Hellboy.

Van Helsing ? 8 Million, opening weekend ? HIGHLY doubt it.

What is Van Helsing opening up against?

Van Helsing just looks friggin cool. But the Hellboy trailer just doesn't do it for me.

"Skip to the end and tell me how to download it"

Van Helsing ? 8 Million, opening weekend ? HIGHLY doubt it.

What is Van Helsing opening up against?

The new Olsen Twins movie.

 

I expect it to open big, but it'll probably drop big (Depending on how good it is) since "Troy" opens the following week.

Don't count the Olsen Twins out. The movie features Love Line's Dr. Drew.

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

Wait, Troy comes out week after Van Helsing? That would be the 16th right? I know the 16th is Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Punisher, which would put a ton of big releases on one day...

Nevermind, I'm jumping dates. Although Hellboy has some competition (from completely different genres).

 

Hellboy, Walking Tall, Bust a Moo (new Disney) and Prince & Me (new Julia Styles) all open this weekend.

The drop will not be too big since its not up against any big action movies that week. The people who want to see action will see Van Helsing and the poeple who like comedy will see the Olsens.

I say Hellboy, because it looks different.

 

The other one I've never even heard of, and it strikes me as something straight out of Abbott & Costello.
