Has it been mentioned yet that Return of the King is over the $1 billion mark worldwide? I think it went over two weeks ago, maybe. Shrug. It's still over $800,000,000 shy of Titanic's all-time worldwide record though.
The Passion of The Christ should also enter into the Top 10 in biggest weekend box offices. Number seven actually between Star Wars Episode II($4 million short) and Austin Powers in Goldmember($3 million more). It's opening day total gave it the highest one day total for the month of February, too. |

The $15 Million Marketing isn't really fair...
It was the HOT BUTTON issue in Mags, TV and Internet colums all week, thus getting free publicity. |

What isn't fair here? We're talking about the cost of the films and how much was spent on production, not the free promotion itself. Just to make apoint about how much money this movie is making overall. |

It's not that it's not fair...it's that they got hundreds of millions worth of advertising without really paying for it. It was promoted far more than the numbers reflect

It was promoted far more than the numbers reflect I wont disagree with that, it's obvious. Every news type show and everything else has been talking about this movie for weeks. I'm just saying that the $$$ total is right on. It's all about how much both films cost to produce and to market, and how much they made. |

I don't think spending that much in marketing really helped ROTK's ticket sales all that much, anyway, as it got a shitload of free advertising, too. Not as much as the Jesus movie, but still a lot.

In essence, ROTK also had 2 years worth of advertising beforehand with the first two films.
I am surprised Club Dread was that low. The screen I saw it at, while there wasn't a big crowd, gave me the sense it would at least be in the 6-8 mil range. |

I'm suprised Club Dread did as well as it did. The previews give you nothing to work with...you can tell it's a horror of sorts but there's nothing really to indicate that it's a funny movie

the whole Jesus thing has been done to death. If they're going to do ANOTHER movie, they could at least change the ending or add wire-fighting or explosions or SOMETHING. They got a guy to play Jesus who can do movie swordfighting, and from what I hear they did NOTHING with it. Tsk Tsk @ Mel

Club Dread was horrible. Eurotrip was much better.
And Passion of Christ was the shit. |

ANYWAY... How about that Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights ? (IMG:http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Next Week: 1. The Passion Of The Christ (Seeing as it was sold out everywhere, I'm sure there's a large amount of people who hasn't seen it) 2. Starsky & Hutch (IMO, It'll open to a good amount and strong word of mouth will keep it on top. Come on now, Ben Stiller + Owen Wilson X Snoop Dogg + Vince Vaughn + Will Ferrell + The director of "Old School" and "Road Trip" THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL THAT THIS WILL BOMB) 3. Hildago 4. 50 First Dates 5. Twisted |

I'm suprised that Twisted did as well as it did. It just looks like every other crappy crime thriller out there

It's still over $800,000,000 shy of Titanic's all-time worldwide record though They should do the adjusted money gross for the Worldwide numbers, because it's no longer accurate anymore. Star Wars alone has 1 billion or so from US gross, way better than Titanic. If you add worldwide numbers then I'm sure it'll be at least #2. Gone With the Wind is the actual top-grossing movie ever in the US, with adjusted figures. |
