Which was simular to when I saw Real Steel, I really did think though that the October record was going to be gone.Had I not checked BOM, I would of thought Rango was going to have a 60M OW.

It's a shame it wasn't gone, Real Steel deserved far more than it got in my opinion, tremendous fun, even if it was almost literally Rocky with Robots.

Don't be shocked but the best run at my local theatre in Innsbruck was NOT Avatar and NOT Titanic ... but a 1990 romcom called "Pretty Woman". It was playing for over 1 year, that's longer than Titanic, and still holds the attendance record.(For the record: I was not amongst them, I swear!)

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was selling out like crazy in Toronto, or at least the the theatre I was at.

War Horse was REALLY crowded. Which surprised me considering the theater I went to.

I remember being in the theater and seeing that a show for an arthouse film (can't remember which) was almost sold out. A week later I checked the weekly box office and seen it barely made anything.

I think some people are missing a point here, limited films are a bit diffrent then other films. And I don't know why some blockbusters are being mentioned.

Was it called The Worst Movie Ever?

Australia was pretty big here (obviously), but didn't really do anything everywhere else.

Fast Five(holy cow, was the crowd big)

Same here, our two biggest cinemas where sold out on the wednesday night that it came out on. And it wasn't even holidays!!

Yeah well Fast Five was a hit, does not deserve to be in this thread, now if it was Fast 3-that could count.
