Several of the biggest hits have had very energetic/upbeat last shots, which leave the audience feeling "high" on the movie ("Back to the future", "Star Wars", "Ghostbusters", "The Matrix").
There are of course example of the opposite too, the only one I can think of right now is "Raiders of the lost ark", which had a pretty downbeat (but "whoa"-inducing) ending.
Oh, and LOTR, which didn't even have a real ending , but made a pretty penny anyway...
How much do you think these shots contribute to the overall success of the movie?
Personally, I think they're extremely important and can almost make or break a movie, no matter what the quality of the rest of the movie is.
I think I read that "Spider-Man" has one of those upbeat energetic last shots, so it'll probably be a huge success.
