I believe it was "Tonight, He Comes"

If you consider inflation, "The Exorcist" got there and then some. I think if another film came along with that much press and controversy surrounding it, then $1B would be in play.

Hehehe, thank you!

The Godfather is boring. Brando's performance is one-note. Return of the King is also boring, probably due to the fact that it's overlong and overwrought. Casino is better than Goodfellas. Titanic is hackneyed, ham-fisted film-making with pretty visuals. Avatar is hackneyed, ham-fisted film-making with pretty visuals. Inception is overrated. It's also pretentious, pseudo-clever, and contains a mishmash of themes and plot devices that have been done better in other movies.

I didn't hate it; I was bored by it.

The movie did have a sense of fun and playfulness about it, but the cast butchered nearly every one of those songs, and that I cannot forgive.

If only ROA hadn't employed stunt casting and a pair of duller-than-dishwater leads...

I walked out of "Island of Dr. Moreau" (Marlon Brando's fat ass in a muumuu still gives me nightmares), and I considered walking out of "Inception," but opted to take a nap instead.

I was expecting worse after that minuscule Sunday drop, so...yay?

Not every guy, and I would submit that most who went, went under duress.

I think every grandma in the world went to see it.

Stick - Burt Reynolds' original cut of the film was apparently much closer to the spirit of the Elmore Leonard novel, but Universal felt it was not commercially viable and ordered substantial reshoots. Leonard disowned the final product.13th Warrior - John McTiernan's original cut fared poorly in test screenings, so he got the boot and Michael Crichton took over directorial duties. Even still, the finished film sat on a Touchstone shelf for quite some time before being released.Hard Target - The first version John Woo submitted was ridiculously violent and over the top (well, duh!), and received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA. He had to re-edit the film seven times before it received an R.More later...

I also warmed to Gangs. DDL is lookin FINE. That boy gives me the vapors.

I'm thinking on quite a few planets. Yano, the empty ones.

LOL @ Rock of Ages and That's My Boy...that's all I got.

Retire.

(Yay, more speaking in absolutes. Anyway...) Quite the opposite. The point I'm getting at: one theater's reaction does not a trend make. As for twitter, SOME people in a certain AGE GROUP tweet about everything they do. MANY people in another AGE GROUP don't tweet at all. Point the second. You picking up what I'm putting down?

O RLY? People seemed pretty enthusiastic at my showing. I went with a large group and the consensus was overwhelmingly positive. Also, has it occurred to you that the audience most likely to patronize and appreciate this film is the audience least likely to tweet about it? Methinks not.

Trying to pass off your opinions as statements of fact. Good call.As for the early numbers, impressive for both films. Until this weekend, there hadn't been any offerings specifically for adults or small children. Apparently, there was demand for such entertainment from both demos.

LOL!Please don't tell K and J...I just meant, Alien has been getting a lot of coverage lately thanks to Prometheus.

Appropriately, the number one movie of my birth weekend was Alien. 1 (1) Alien 20th Century Fox Horror $649,505 -38.09% 357 $1,819 $57,733,690 108
