AOTC takes in an estimated $13.9m in its 4th weekend...

...bringing its total gross to $255m; this is actually almost what I predicted some days ago. I predicted that the AOTC 4th weekend gross would be $14m and that its total gross would be $257m.

I will now try to predict next weeks results: the weekend gross for AOTIC will be $9m, and the total gross $271m.

Well, it's not comparible unless you have their earnings compared to modern day ticket prices.

Well,i still say AOTC is behind TPM at this point because thefilm has less universal appeal

But i can hear Lucas saying to himself on AOTC:

"Legions of my loyal fans will see it over and over again...I'm afraid it will stay in theaters and make money for quite a long time..."

AOTC is having its ass handed to it by Spiderman .........

No matter, it doesn't really deserve what it's getting, but I hope it gets more just because I want to see it do good.

I think I like the adjusted list better.  Quality movies actually made the top. :jump:

~Harry

Of the 15 films you listed all are quality films, some better than others. But no matter right now Titanic is #1 at the boxoffice, with nearly 2 billion dollars in grosses worldwide.

Now I'm going to sound like Morn. :mrgreen:

Sure it's number one, but that's the unadjusted list. Looking at the adjusted list, you can clearly see that Titanic isn't #1. ;)

See, I have trouble with the adjusted because who knows what kind of formula it uses.

But thats apples and oranges because Titanic is the #1 boxoffice hit of all time. GWTW is the adjusted #1 based on God knows what.

So Harry how many of those 15 movies have you seen?

Has anyone of you seen all 15 films?

Joe, who has.

Another problem with the adjusted list, it's US only. So we have to compare all films by their US grossing... which is silly as well :mrgreen:

Has anyone of you seen all 15 films?

I've seen all but 2.

GWTW is the adjusted #1 based on God knows what.

It's #1 based on the amount of tickets sold.

Neil

Right, and that number is probably multiplied by the ticket price I listed below the list, and then you get the real numbers! :)

Oh wow! I'm going to sound like Morn again! I've seen all but two of them, well really 1.5 of them, as I did see some of Gone With the Wind.
