Anyone else really looking forward to Shutter Island?
I think it looks great.

Titanic...you've had a good run but you're going down
The IMax showings are really boosting this movie and putting it over the top.
They are still selling out from what my friend told me who works at the Albany IMax theatre.bueller: Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good? Why does Positrack work? Why does Ferris lose on the road and play dead at home?
It just happens.

I still wanna see it. It looks *ed up, in a non-slasher non-cheap pay-off sorta way.Originally posted by Handyman View PostI was about a year ago when I first saw the trailers they are still showing nowNever really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
Word. It's become a joke in our local theater -- as soon as the trailer comes on (as it inevitably does, no matter what the movie genre is), a third of the audience starts laughing.Originally posted by Handyman View PostI was about a year ago when I first saw the trailers they are still showing nowCornell University

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
This article makes a point I've always been confused about. One ticket now may cost 2-3 times as much as a ticket in the past, so why do we measure by the money made rather than number of tickets sold?Originally posted by PrezdeJohnson09 View PostAvatar still raked in $34 million this week in it's SIXTH week of being out.

Is it the studios trying to make new movies in theaters seem more appealing because they're "more successful" than older movies or is the movie industry just stupid?

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
Checked out Daybreakers last night, pretty standard vampire stuff, but I thought it had some nice touches, and an appropriate level of ultra violence when it was required. Certainly worth a rental.Comment

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
Because they've always measured it by total gross? Because the goal is to make money? Because it's a bigger number than tickets sold? So people don't have to multiply based on average ticket price to determine how much money a movie has made?Originally posted by crazypotatoes View PostThis article makes a point I've always been confused about.

In regard to Shutter Island: I'm sure this will come as a shock to everyone, but the DiCaprio movie I am most looking forward to this year is Inception.

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
I'm fine with using it to compare movies currently in theaters. My point is that it's completely misleading when used to compare current movies to older movies.Originally posted by The Paragon of Virtue View PostComment

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies
Adjusted for inflation, Gone With the Wind and Star Wars are still 1 and 2, at least domestically (have never seen worldwide inflation adjusted numbers). The inflation adjusted numbers are readily available with a quick google search. Newspapers just never report that.Originally posted by The Paragon of Virtue View PostComment
