Hatebox Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Chalk up another TDK guy here. I had been conscious of what had done well or badly a lot earlier, but that film definitely instigated a more acute interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 For me it started with Titanic because of its amazing run which then lead to the release of TPM which really sucked me in 100%. Been following the box office ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I started following box office in 1981 with the release of Superman 2 and Raiders of the Lost Ark. I tarcked box office info. from magazines that would print weekend/weekly numbers for the movies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Started off with Return of the King, but I think I really started taking notice with Revenge of the Sith. That thing had so much hype from us boys at school. Only thing that felt ever felt even remotely close was Harry Potter 1 and The Simpsons Movie.

FilmBuff Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Shrek 2's run really started it for me. POTC:Dead Men's Chest and The Dark Knight are some of the more impressive one's I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire of Themyscira Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well it was around the Dark Knight when I had gotten interested, but New Moon had me get much more involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle16 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 well it started when I was a kid I remember how every once in a while the news and in the newspaper would have a little entertainment news every monday and have a box office report. I was hooked from that moment because I was always curious what movie audiences were interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcalcagn Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 When my family got the internet around the middle of 2001, but I didn't join Mojo's Forums until about January 2007, which is strange looking back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 No idea. 2005 though. Drifted in through Yahoo! went Brandon Gray was occasionally quoted or BOM was referred to. Remember knowing about the ROTS/Mad/Longest Yard but might've been earlier. Actually that may not be it, account only at the end of 2005 when Narnia/Kong/Potter were out. Gotta love that year's blockbusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I became a little interested in box office numbers in 2005 with Goblet of Fire but then I became addicted when Lion, Witch, Wardrobe came out.

lab276 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was always sort of interested in it, but Avatar beating Titanic is what really got me engaged, because it doesn't happen often that the highest grossing film gets beaten. I didn't join Mojo until HTTYD though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracygee Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hmmmm...I started following the box office whenever I started playing HSX. That's probably been ten, twelve years ago, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I was aware of some box office feats prior but really following it weekly (daily i should say) i started with the release of Fellowship of the Ring.
