lilmac Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!overview type in the search ‘tnd vs titanic’ (my fave) or ‘titanic boxoffice 1997’ or ‘phantom menace boxoffice’ or ‘sixth sense boxoffice’ or whatever you want to search for. I had no idea during the 1990s that these communities existed. At the time I frequented a couple of actual online forums. The Apollo 13 threads, in particular, really resonate with me as that was the first film that inspired my interest and that I started tracking.

Barnack Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 20 year's ago the movie paid by itself with ads, no that big x amount was in free advertising for the movie not actual cash online talk was already made, could have been only copy pasted.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 @Jake Gittes @Premium George I like this one: The Phantom Menace Will Never Beat Titanic's Box Office. Here's why: 6/1/99Chris Pierson In article <37eeff86....@news.earthlink.net>,Nimrod <nim...@earthlink.net> wrote:>So you're telling us why more folks went to see TITANIC than will go>see THE PHANTOM MENACE, right?

Of course, to be fair, one should take into account that, when GWTW was out, entertainment options were much more limited than they are today. No TV, no VCRs, no net, no video games, etc. It was pretty much books, theater and radio. Would GWTW have been _as_ successful if there had been as many diversions in its time as there are today? No. Would it have still been up there? Probably, but not at #1, given that Star Wars, which had much more competition, is less than $100 million behind it in the adjusted-for-inflation list. The problem is, the whole box office issue is _way_ too muddy to make many genuine, empirical statements about how "successful" a film is. -- Chris Pierson ** "Now my body is in tumult.
