One of the better box office stories I've ever followed was when My Best Friend's Wedding opened with half of what Batman & Robin did on the same weekend and outgrossed it by a solid $20M in the end. I mean, really, if that's not embarrassing for the latter movie, I don't know what is.

Before Titanic I would only pay attention to numbers from the bigger releases, like Batman 89 and JP. I was aware of how well those movies did but wasn't fervently following their runs. 

 

Through most of the 80s I never had any idea how well movies did and I didn't really care lol. I was too worried about just going to the movies. I didn't pay much attention to how they were doing.

Deadpool got me to find this site. That's how awesome he is.

Do you think I remember?  

I remember being a super stanner for PoP and totally being a bro with THE SHAY, and totally believing it would reach 100M and getting a sequel, so that is the embarrassing moment from 2010 that led to a 2 month hiatus.

I joined the forums later that year, I think. I was so bad the first few months I stopped posting for like 6 months+ and when I returned I changed my name/image and took a completely different style in posting, in this way people wouldn't recognize me  I think I only returned in early 2008. I didn't post much for the next 2 years. Earlier in the 2010 Summer I stanned for a certain movie and was so embarrassing I went on another hiatus, this time just 2 months, returning with a new identity/name again I returned in time for GOD NOLAN INCEPTION. I was still better than Ethan, tho  

Why does none of this shock me lol.

Specifically, the lure of @WrathOfHan's $300m club was too much.

Does anyone still think that ID:R does'ent hit 100 mill?

CI looks like it could be headed for quite the impressive multi. Happy for it, was a really fun time (and I'm not a Hart fan at all).

I started to follow the box office in 2008 on a French website, for no specific movie I was just curious because that's who I am. So how did I end up coming on these forums in 2012?

The members of the French site, as on many French sites, were gloomy, tired of everything, pessimistic, always complaining, a lack of respect..I couldn't bear it, I needed to speak with people that are funnier, more passionate, I was searching for a mainly US website because I wanted to find this legendary American optimism..That's why I decided to come here, I loved it and wanted to stay, to participate. I love you guys

That inspired me to look up some other animated features. I didn't realize that Frozen was #1 for only two weekends, but they were its 2nd and 6th weekends.

I could be missing one, but I don't believe an animated movie has ever done this in the summer. Even TLK and Shrek 2 only managed two weekends atop.
