2005: A Down Year At The Movies(An Interesting Fact)

[clfred]

There is no doubt that it was a down year at the movies(in the U.S.) with lower revenue, lower ticket sales, etc. But I wanted to find out how many films from 2005 and then back to 2000 show up on the Top 100 List of All Time Box Office Grosses and here is what I found:
2005 - 11
2004 - 9
2003 - 7
2002 - 9
2001 - 10
2000 - 7

I thought this was quite interesting. I guess this means there were plenty of strong blockbuster movies this year, just the lower tier of movies were weak.

Thats actually really interesting. Its a cry of help from the people "GIVE US GOOD MOVIES"

2006 will be better especially with movies like DaVinci Code, X Men 3, Lady In The Water, Cars, etc etc

no kidding. i had read that there was only one movie that made it past the $300mil mark....Ep3. whereas in previous years it had been more. For me, I don't feel like spending the money on mediocre films. It costs me around $40 for one movie whereas if i wait 3 to 6 months, i can see it in my home theater (without all the hassles) and save 90% !!! i do go out and see movies, but i really have to be motivated, something that recently doesn't happen often. (Ep3, Narnia and Kong where the only ones this year that did that)

I have to agree too with 2005 being a slow year. Started off strong but down hill in the second half. Batman Begins was obviously the finest choice. I still throw the DVD in my bag on the way to work.
