To add the US to the chart, 2013 had a gross of 10222.9m and with a population of 317.6m that gives a per capita of $34.39. What's neat about this is if we can then get an average ticket price in each country, we can come to estimates of how many movies per person that covers. Australia leads the per capita list pretty comfortably. Is it because Australians are a really strong movie-going population, or is it that tickets are more expensive there? Maybe this should be a new topic.

This is amusing: http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/03/paging-bradley-coopers-lawyers-you-might-own-ellens-famous-oscar-selfie/358758/

Interesting. Since Frozen seems to be sitting pretty flat, do you think it will eventually overtake Tangled?

What were their respective totals?

Is the exchange rate different than for WiR or Tangled? I know in some countries that's had an effect.

I suppose starting a new thread nobody will comment on is the way this is done. 1 Non-Stop (2014) $2,563,940 27% 3,090 -- $830 $33,463,525 1 Universal 2 Son of God $1,790,149 22% 3,260 -- $549 $28,863,029 1 Fox 3 The LEGO Movie $1,547,122 22% 3,770 -120 $410 $211,954,057 4 Warner Bros. 4 3 Days to Kill $508,064 24% 2,872 0 $177 $21,670,448 2 Relativity Media 5 Frozen (2013) $387,232 14% 1,746 -145 $222 $389,482,313 15 Disney 6 Ride Along $233,625 9% 1,869 -317 $125 $127,609,640 7 Universal 7 Philomena $171,277 32% 1,097 93 $156 $34,912,854 15 Weinstein Company 8 Endless Love (2014) $159,290 31% 1,874 -1022 $85 $22,470,710 3 Universal 9 Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues $154,479 12% 1,317 -- $117 $126,820,182 11 Paramount 10 Lone Survivor $101,595 5% 1,017 -499 $100 $123,539,826 10 Universal

Welcome to the forums! Also, that's quite a ballsy prediction.

12YAS, Gravity, DBC, and Frozen all showing some sort of Oscar bump.

I'm not too sure about that. Given the Christian crowd, it may just play more like a family film and have the business focused on weekends.

1 Non-Stop (2014) $2,023,950 -68% 3,090 -- $655 $30,899,585 1 Universal 2 Son of God $1,471,015 -78% 3,260 -- $451 $27,072,880 1 Fox 3 The LEGO Movie $1,268,495 -79% 3,770 -120 $336 $210,406,935 4 Warner Bros. 4 Ride Along $214,935 -69% 1,869 -317 $115 $127,376,015 7 Universal 5 Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues $138,502 -57% 1,317 -- $105 $126,665,703 11 Paramount 6 Endless Love (2014) $121,810 -54% 1,874 -1022 $65 $22,311,420 3 Universal 7 Lone Survivor $96,615 -62% 1,017 -499 $95 $123,438,231 10 Universal

The Fantastic Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec: Turned out quite a bit more enjoyable than I expected. It's kinda dumb and cheesy and could have been trimmed up a bit, but it's still pretty fun since it relishes the ridculousness.

I'd probably put Leo's performance in the film on par with Waltz and Jackson. I could see Waltz getting the nomination mostly because his character was the most likeable.

Well, I was assembling a list, but couldn't get it together in time to send in. I'm interested to see what comes up, though. Hopefully there will be a few films for me to check out.

1 Non-Stop (2014) $28,875,635 -- 3,090 -- $9,345 $28,875,635 1 Universal 2 Son of God $25,601,865 -- 3,260 -- $7,853 $25,601,865 1 Fox 3 The LEGO Movie $20,828,356 -33% 3,770 -120 $5,525 $209,138,440 4 Warner Bros. 4 Frozen (2013) $3,631,640 -18% 1,746 -145 $2,080 $388,756,783 15 Disney 5 Ride Along $3,037,680 -34% 1,869 -317 $1,625 $127,161,080 7 Universal 6 Endless Love (2014) $1,526,780 -62% 1,874 -1022 $815 $22,189,610 3 Universal 7 Lone Survivor $1,026,650 -48% 1,017 -499 $1,009 $123,341,616 10 Universal High estimates from NS, SoG, Lego, RA, EL, and LS. Frozen estimated slightly low. And some below-the-fold numbers: 1 The Wind Rises $1,517,404 384% 496 475 $3,059 $1,953,947 2 Disney 2 12 Years a Slave $975,931 87% 411 62 $2,375 $50,336,296 20 Fox Searchlight 3 Gravity $889,300 5% 340 -8 $2,616 $270,478,831 22 Warner Bros. 12YaS and Gravity both came in a bit above estimates, so they're already raking it in from the Oscar wins. TWR, though, is softer than the estimate.

I'm not sure that the video release will have a large effect on the second-run gross. Most second-run theaters are inexpensive enough that it's more economical to go there than to buy a video. Or possibly even rent.

Aw, yeah. It's the actual we've all been waiting for: 1 The Nut Job $661,537 -38% 752 -483 $880 $60,792,181 7 Open Road (2% better than the estimate.)

I don't think they shot any new material, but I believe they did use some footage that wasn't aired in the TV series.

I was drunk when I watched it a couple nights ago, but Gravity is still amazing on my TV.

Yup. She's actually tied with Leo for acting noms without a win.

We're not going to be laughing when it comes out tomorrow that Travolta had a mini-stroke on stage or something.

Gravity is hard sci-fi. Very hard sci-fi, in fact. It's not fantastic at all: it's looking at things that could happen and projecting them to tell a story. Hard sci-fi is all about trying to say that something is plausible and could happen, even if it probably won't. (Also, Gravity took enough liberties with a number of things, such as the relative orbits of Hubble and the ISS, that it actually couldn't plausibly happen.) It's also a thriller, but that doesn't mean it isn't sci-fi. I can't disagree with that assertion (since I haven't been able to see either, yet), just pointing out that there's more than quotes that make a script.

Science is very much a part of the construction of the story. Kessler syndrome hasn't actually happened, despite a lot of math to support that it could. Ergo, it's science fiction.
