:sohappy: woo! Does anyone recall the last time a movie held the top spot four weeks in a row/what that movie was?

You can only see movies that spent 7 weeks or more at the top without upgrading to a premium membership. We could pool our money and subscribe for a month to find out. :lookaroun

On yahoo I read an article that said LOTR:ROTK was the last movie to stay on top for 4 straight weeks. That was back in 2003/2004.

Edit: Look in the 3rd paragraph. Here is the link: http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20080810/121841442000.html

I was about to post this. I got curious enough to dig through the weekend results individually for the last few years, and LOTR 3 was the last one. Passion of the Christ also spent four total weeks at #1 in 2004, but they weren't consecutive.

By the way, I was still at GA Southern when ROTK came out. That feels like a very long time ago. :lol: :wave:

Me too...at least you aren't still there! :lol: :lookaroun

I was at UF for ROTK... and TDK. :lookaroun

:lol:

Well, hopefully the two of you weren't in your senior years at the time, like me. Then I'd be worried about ya.

(Unless you're doing postgrad work, of course...which now that I think of it, I remember SeaBreeze saying she's studying for a doctorate. Soooo this post is pointless.) :lol:

You are correct. I was a Sophomore in '03/'04. Currently I am working on my Masters in Business Ed. So, it isn't as bad as it sounds. :animwink:

More power to you! I gave grad school a try a couple years ago, and just couldn't hack it. I think I had been out too long since getting my BS, so if you're going to do it, it's probably best to hit it all at once.

So...about that Batman movie... :lookaroun

TDK will be over $500 million after Labor day. There are now rumors coming from WB that they may push back the DVD release till after the Oscars, meaning more box office take than if the DVD is released for Christmas. If that is the case, $600 million easy.

:lol: You do get bonus points for remembering that though!

And to what Timmay said, I really hope the DVD still comes out in time for Christmas. Wishful thinking perhaps but what a lovely Christmas tradition that could be: watching TDK on Christmas day

Video ETA is still saying a December 2008 release. If you keep your fingers crossed I will too!

Ah yes, what a wonderful Christmas tradition: sit the whole family down 'round the fire and watch a guy get a pencil shoved into his eye socket!
:lol:

I don't see how it's any different than shooting an eye out with a BB Gun... :lookaroun

If pushing back the DVD means more time to run up the BO take, that's what I'm rooting for, personally. I wanna see this thing make a run at #1.

No need to hide :wave: For some reason, I doubt it'll be in theaters that long but I'm certainly not rooting against it's continued box office success

Just $12 million away from passing Star Wars for the number 2 spot.

And just a day away from having Star Wars: The Clone Wars coming out in theaters.

Fanart, but awesome, nonetheless.
