It's interesting that 2007 has been mentioned several times but I just don't see the big deal. Ratatouille, 300, and I Am Legend were my faves from this year. Transformers 3, SM3, and Bourne 3 were also entertaining. Still...http://boxofficemojo.../chart/?yr=2007

Brave and Ice Age are still in theaters wow.While we're on the subject of longtimers, I've been waiting to see Argo on DVD but it's still playing in several theaters in my vicinity ....hmmm...decision decision.
I recently watched Tarantino's Howard Stern interview and he said that when films would go overbudget he'd use his back-end money to finish the film. I'm assuming he has really good back-end deals. The guy is worth $90 mil according to Celebrity Networth.com and that's with none of his films being blockbusters in theaters.
Besides Disney live action and animated properties you have Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones...sheesh....they're the Exxon of the movie industry. I haven't even touched their Distribution deals.
