Well, I don't quite win since I predicted around $80 million it looks like it will achieve more around $70 million :). It's lower than I expected, but then again it is possible that more people will be seeing it Saturday and Sunday. Incidentally, I actually saw the film at a 9:15 a.m. showing...

I predict double that for the opening weekend, and probably more than double that for the overall run. Don't underestimate this film, it's got an enormous built-in audience from the books (85 million copies sold, the second-biggest selling series in history), and the Christian factor cannot be...

With MSRP's of $49.95, these should end up costing about the same as the Simpsons season sets, $30-$35 apiece, which is great news.

I heard the same thing from Moriarty of Ain't It Cool News, he said that there would not be an extended cut of Reloaded on this set.

Personally, I don't believe there to be a double standard concerning violence at all. The only standard is that, if violence is present, it shouldn't be gratuitous. Gratuitous, wanton, pointless violence is what gets complained about by conservatives. I don't recall much complaint over the...

Tino, I feel great that this film is: A. A very well made film, and very in line with actual Christian beliefs B. Being so widely embraced by the Christian audience out there that would never put up these kinds of numbers for films like Megiddo and Left Behind Let's hope this ushers in...

Kevin, what I meant by a TRULY objective figure is one that takes into account all the special situations like re-releases, home video, national pastimes, etc. Something that could take EVERYTHING into account to truly gauge the ultimate popularity of a film. I just...don't know how you'd do it.

Regarding inflated box office figures...it's true that there are factors affecting box office today that didn't exist in the past, but really all of that is irrelevant if you're just concerned with butts in seats. In that regard, older films reign supreme. Inflation adjustment is not a...

Interestingly, ROTK only has to make about $6 million more before it breaks into the top 50 inflation-adjusted box office grosses of all time. To me, this is more significant, since the current grosses are basically meaningless if not compared to inflation, and puts ROTK more in the perspective...

Lin, I think the easy answer here is that since FOTR already won for cinematography, the Academy decided not to nominate ROTK. Going with the "reward the films as a trilogy" thing, you'll notice they didn't nominate it for sound editing either, an award TTT won last year. There are a few...

FYI, all of the LOTR films grossed more worldwide than Spider-Man did.

It's probably been noted before, but as rare as the picture/director split at the Oscars is, it's happened every other year since 1998. 1998 - Spielberg director, but Shakespeare In Love picture 2000 - Soderbergh director, but Gladiator picture 2002 - Polanski director, but Chicago...

I just checked my X2 disc, and the one scene that I definitely remembered was on there. After Pyro blows up the policemen at Iceman's house and they've all gotten into the jet, Wolverine looks at Nightcrawler and says "Who's this?" Nightcrawler says "My name is Kurt Wagner, but in the Munich...

Even if this Vol. 1 set is pretty well loaded (and just because it's two discs doesn't mean that's true...Matrix Reloaded anyone?), I think I'm going to hold off and wait for the eventual combined set of both volumes. This movies were really meant to be one film, and that's how I'd like to see them.

I'd have to disagree with anyone who thinks the ninth season is subpar...some of the best episodes are from that season (like "The Frogger"), and I'd personally rank it at least fourth or fifth best season overall.

I think originally the new season was meant to debut earlier, and the DVD set was supposed to come out a little bit before that, just as it happened with season 2. Now that season 3 doesn't start until January, I guess the S2 DVD has been pushed back a bit.

Movies: 1. LOTR: ROTK 2. The Matrix Revolutions 3. Kill Bill 4. Intolerable Cruelty 5. Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban (ok, so it's 2004...sue me :) ) DVDs: 1. Indiana Jones Trilogy 2. TTT: EE 3. The Matrix Reloaded 4. Finding Nemo 5. X2

This is one of the worst albums I've heard in a long time. It was actually painful just getting through the whole thing. I had no idea Metallica COULD sound so bad. There are a lot of older fans who've rejected all their stuff pretty much after the Black album (or even after ...And Justice), but...

LOTR - FOTR - 3 LOTR - TTT - 2 (want to see a 3rd time) XMEN - 2 X2 - 2 Matrix - 1 Matrix Reloaded - 2 (will probably see a 3rd time) Die Another Day - 1 Star Wars Ep1 - 5 Star Wars Ep2 - 2 Spiderman - 1 DareDevil - 0

Chad, except if Godfather 3 had been only half as bad as it was, it probably would've won. The problem with that movie was that it fell about several hundred miles below its predecessors in terms of quality...it's a testament to the strength of the first two films that the third received any...

Just curious...Barton Fink showed up as 1.66:1 on my computer screen, but on my friend's DVD player on a regular 4:3 TV it looked like 1.85:1...is that an anamorphic expansion or what?

I've seen Barton Fink but not Miller's Crossing and I'm buying them both so one is blind. Barton Fink is amazingly great, so I'm assured with that one, and with the other Miller's Crossing is hailed by many to be the Coens' (some of my favorite filmmakers) best film, and I also love gangster...

Actually, on a related note, what's the cool song playing during the "Jack In" spot? It's the one that starts with Hugo Weaving's great delivery of "I'm looking for Neo...you see, he set me FREE."
