Dang 2001 is just so impressive-so many records were broken that year, and 2 months had TWO montly record breakers. The OW record was broken, and was nearly broken by Mummy 2 and Planet of the Apes!

August has been broken the least amount of times.

[Impact]

Well looks like September is gone finally!

[Impact]

Sweet Home Alabama has the 2nd longest monthly record ever. Only Special Edition has it longer-for nearly 11 years.

[Impact]

Based off of history-April will be broken next year and stay for a while

[Impact]

Yep. Though January was the last month to have a 100M release that was not a reissue or a film originally released the year before.

[Moviedweeb]

Great thread!

[Impact]

Thank you!

[Impact]

Well the last time the monthly record was ever broken twice in one year was in March 2002. The only month I can see that being possible now would be January-if this was to happen: A big MLK film followed by a bigger film.Though it could of been possible this March had Alice never came out and Lorax was a couple million higher.

[Impact]

^Although August and October could have that happen.For example:If X-Men and Fast and Furious both came out next August it would happen.October-if a animated films and a big part to a horror film PA size came out..

[Impact]

You know-if DWA makes Puss in Boots 2 and keeps it in October, I think that will break the OW record.

[Impact]

Right now I'm doing a chart for the number of times it was broken per year.

[Neo]

Maybe DOFP but definitely not Wolverine, that'll do XMFC numbers

Post X-Men only 3 CBM's (SM2, FF: ROTS, IM2) sequel has done less than the first movie, why would TW break this pattern? SM2 was due to the first one record breaking performance, is quite common. IM2 was not to par or equal to IM and ROTS was not as good as F4. Everything from TW sounds good, good cast, director, on location shooting.
