    It does include re-releases. Star Wars added over 100 mill on its last re-release

    Even if Batman catches Titanic (it won't) My prediction is that Titanic gets re-released in 2012 which is the 100 year anniversary (I think) of the boat sinking

    There were plans to re-release the two SW trilogies in 3D & IMAX-3D though I haven't heard much about the project since then. That could be enough to push another 100 mil for Star Wars.

    But honestly, the true measure of a movie's success should be in tickets sold or an inflation-adjusted value.

    Easy $$$$$$$$$$$$$

    the movie was released in 97 so it would be 15 years

    All the teeny boppers are in there 30's. some will have kids to bring and also to capitalize on the 100 year thing

    Star Wars
    ET
    Passion of the Christ
    LOTR 2 towers
    Lion King
    LOTR fellowship
    Star war episode II
    return of the jedi
    empire strikes back

    All these flicks were re-released

    Yes and no

    how many options for entertainment was there 70 years ago or even 10 years ago

    some people prefer to watch a movie in their surround system that was not around 10 years ago

    how many people down load movies to the net to take away more sales

    Well, I was referring to it in my stricter definition of a movie's production in the theaters, disregarding outside options like DVD's, etc. There are cases such as Austin Powers where it was considered a mixed performance at the box office though sold very well in home video sectors. What I was referring to was the former.

    Somebody just called into LeBatard and said that he had "inside" knowledge about the next villain/s in the next Batman installment. he seemed pretty credible.

    The guy said that the Black Mask and the Riddler would be the villains.

    I think I'm more concerned about who they are getting to write and direct the next one more than I am the villan at this point. If Nolan comes back I'll trust whatever he wants to do.

    Thanks for the info though Section. :hi5:

    Well, I agree with him about the "screw DC" part. You know you have problems when a single movie handles your property better than any creative team you've ever had on the comic.

    If Nolan comes back he could make Barney the ****ing Dinosaur the villain and it would be compelling.

    I just saw TDK. I strategize about the timing of when I see movies because I can't stand idiotic idle chatter. That's only for the movies that I'm really dying to see. If it's not urgent I'll just wait for the DVD.

    Anyway, what a freaking awesome movie. Bale is great, but Heath Ledger is just unbelievable. What a shame that the world has lost that much talent. I wonder why they killed off Two Face. They could have developed him some more, IMO.

    I really can't wait to see how Nolan does Catwoman.

    I remember you saying you might wait til DVD to watch it. Glad you finally saw it and enjoyed it though.

    Someone on a movie review site I go to a lot had a good suggestion. They should rename the best actor Oscar 'the Ledger' and just give it to Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man.

    Yeah, I just couldn't stand waiting any longer. Plus, I was concerned I unintentionally might read another spoiler. On IMDB's JLA board someone mentioned how Rachel dies. :tantrum: Thanks a lot. I knew who it was going to be between her and Harvey Dent.

    I was a DC, not a Marvel, kid so I think that I'll wait for Iron Man on DVD. Could he really be better than Ledger? That would be something.

    He's not. Nor is the movie better. The Dark Knight has its flaws, but Ledger puts in an incredible role as the Joker. Downey plays Starks so well because its not far from the role Downey plays in real life.

    I don't think he was better than Ledger. But a lot of people seem to have a weird enfatuation with Downey Jr. So renaming the Oscar the Ledger and giving it to Downey Jr. might satisfy everyone.

    BTW, as sacriligeous as it might sound to say anything negative about Bale, he looked a little aged to me.
