BadAtGender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well Titanic and Avatar were December releases that won their release year respectively even if a lot of their box office came from the succeeding year so if AS could do that, well it will have nice company For calendar year 2009, Avatar was the 5th highest grossing film . It was the highest grossing film for calendar year 2010. For calendar year 1997, Titanic was the 7th highest grossing film. It was the highest grossing film for calendar year 1998, by a pretty wide margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Something occurred to me.

TServo2049 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The Raiders number is wrong. BOM's 1982 (and specifically January 1982) calendar grosses for a sone 1981 films roll in a large portion of the 1981 calendar grosses from the weekends they don't have numbers for. Raiders only has numbers from 1981 going up to weekend 2 (gross to date: $21,861,910). The data resumes on Jan 8-10, 1982 (gross to date: $179,642,063). Subtract the actual weekend take of $1,908,232, and you get $177,733,831. Subtract the June 12-21 '81 gross and you get $155,871,921. For reasons unknown, that $155.87m is rolled into the calendar gross for January 1982, when it actually belongs in 1981.

TServo2049 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) As I said, on BOM any 1981 films that have 1982 weekend grosses have the difference between their cume at the time of their last recorded weekend from 1981, and their cume minus their first recorded weekend gross from 1982, rolled into 1982 when they belong in 1981. Weird. If you look at BOM's top 10 adjusted months, it has January 1982 at #3 because it has a bunch of 1981 BO rolled into it (in particular that $156m of Raiders gross, but also 1981 money from Arthur as well). Raiders actually only made $34.5m in 1982. Edited January 21, 2015 by TServo2049 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking "park on the grass" kind of packed. Parents live about 30 minutes from there in the Spring/Woodlands area. Northwest suburbs of Houston have a shitload of people and it just keeps growing. Amazing thing to me is the number of grocery stores and the fact that they all stay crowded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
