Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 28, 2002 Wow...Can't believe that some of those are still being played. That has to mean playing in Foreign countries, i mean hell several of those are already on DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Harry Potter & LOTR will make the top ten easily (maybe not LOTR since it opens so late in December, it might not be counted). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted October 29, 2002 "Like Mike" is still playing and has grossed over 50 Million. I'm surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 29, 2002 I still want to see Formula 51. Sam L kicks ass in a kilt with a golf club and produces a raver drug. I think it was made with me in mind. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Razor Roman Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Wow...Can't believe that some of those are still being played. That has to mean playing in Foreign countries, i mean hell several of those are already on DVD. It's not that uncommon for movies like Scooby Doo that they push through from cinema to video to still be playing on some screens in the el-cheapo theaters when they come out on DVD. I'm not sure why they do it, but it's not unheard of. It usually happens with movies aimed at kids, that's why films like Lilo and Stitch are still running in the theaters. It doesn't cost anyone anything for the prints (they're just taken from other theaters and shipped around) and a cheap theater can make a ton of money selling tickets for a buck or two and then selling a ton of popcorn and candy to parents taking pre-schoolers to see the movies on weekdays when the theater isn't crowded and they don't have to feel embarassed if the kids make noise.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Places like those are godsends for Parents and Nanny's. Spend 1.50 for 2 hours of quiet...works for me...I must have spent 25 dollars over a week when watching my nephew a few months ago just by taking him to see Shrek over and over again.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Signs DID suck. I don't give a shit about the regaining of faith and crap like that. Those are just ways for people to rationalize such a goddamn awful movie. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 29, 2002 I thought Signs was hilarious. Seriously. Joaquin Phoenix, whose name I will never spell correctly, needs to start getting his own movies. Watching him kick ass and seeing other actors get all the credit is pissing me off. Anyway, the reason for this post is, Sings is the only one in the top 10 that I was advised not to see by many different people. Signs I got a couple, but it didn't match the sheer volume of the others. I was going to see Men in Black untill I found out it was 80 minutes long. pfffffft.

Guest pochorenella Report post Posted October 29, 2002 A little update: Greek Wedding did over $7 mil this week, which would put it over Lilo & Stich, and poised to take over MIBII shortly. Who'd thunk it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
