Its quite impressive that all movies except LOTR were out for several to many months, while LOTR hasn't been in theatres for an entire month, but still manages to hit #7 in box office gross for the entire year.

Actually, most movies make their big money in the first few months. Otherwise they never make it.

Also these numbers are domestic -- typically these films double their revenue in the international release.

The Sheeple sure do love to watch drivel, don't they?

I thought Scooby doo was better. It was closer to the intentions and literary goals of the original author. It is one of those rare situations where the film surpasses the book in quality and relevance to its cultural context.

The character depth was profound. And much of the dialogue compelled me to re-evaluate my core beliefs on not a few of my paradigms of life and it's purpose - and how an individual can aquire significance in an apparently impartial world.

Scooby doo will spawn a multitude of copycats, and I also anticipate many scholarly works on mans relationship with man, reality and the spiritual realm from these truly gifted authors.

I thought Jimmy Neutron was fun too.

Most movies get two-thirds of their gross in the first three weeks.

I recommend www.worldwideboxoffice.com/ for total cash take. Movies like Harry Potter and LOTR have a larger world box office than American. It's ineresting to see which movies do well outside the U.S.
