The author of this article clearly does not understand the big picture in business. In no way is a movie that profits 140 million far more successful then a movie that profits 300 million. It would be nice if people at ew actually understood what they were talking about.

Yeah, it was Listen 2 This. I liked those, but then they started not being exclusively about music, (they started to include video games & comic books too) http://cleaning.emenace.com/upholste2b/45.html steam cleaning undefined

what’s the point of having cheaper tickets if there are no blockbuster, popcorn fare to go see? the vast majority of Americans (as the grosses clearly show) prefer big budget flicks over Marley and Me. Plus, think about future sales: I’ve watched Iron Man on dvd over and over, but hardly anyone watches tearjerkers till they’re blue in the face.

I used to do that. Unfortunately I seem to be a rude people magnent. If there are three other people in a theatre, 2 are sitting right behind me, kicking my chair.

I saw 55 movies in theaters last year, and some of the movies like Meet Dave, Australia, and Narnia shouldn’t have been bombs. I don’t know why a lot of people saw them, NO ONE listens to what critics have to say anyways!

Since when is not setting a box office record a disappointment? First off, think of all the blockbusters that got bumped from 2008 release (Star Trek, Harry Potter) this left fewer holiday blockbusters so the fact that people still went to see movies like Marley & Me is a huge indicator that the film industry is mostly recession proof. Obviously there will be some decline but it will be much better off than other sectors of the economy.

there’s a way around high movie tickets prices and crowded theaters if you have the patience. just wait till the movie has been out for about 3 – 4 weeks, then go to a matinee ($5-6), the theater is pretty much empty.

I am done paying exhorbitant prices for movies and popcorn and then sitting in a theatre surrounded by talking people, screaming children, phones lighting up and Yao Ming sitting down in front of me immediately after the movie commences.
