Excerpt of The Departure by Michael Parker

  HOME

Wednesday, December 22, 2004

Last year, there were 25 films that broke the $100 million milestone. This year, with only 9 days left to the year, only 18 films broke the century mark.  Are you thinking what I'm thinking?  Yep, there were not as many good films, even those that made the money.  Here's the list of the films that people paid to see:

1.  Shrek 2 ($436.47 m) (#5 film of all time)

2.  Spider-Man 2 * ($373.38 m)

3.  The Passion of the Christ ($370.27 m)

4.  Harry Potter 3 ($249.36 m)

5.  The Incredibles ($232.57 m)

6.  The Day After Tomorrow * ($186.74 m)

7.  The Bourne Supremacy ($176.05 m)

8.  Shark Tale ($159.27 m)

9.  I, Robot ($144.78 m)

10.  Troy ($133.23 m)

11.  National Treasure ($124.07 m)

12. The Polar Express ($123.00 m)  

13. 50 First Dates * ($120.78 m)

14.  Van Helsing ($120.03 m)

15.  Fahrenheit 9/11 ($119.08 m)

16.  Dodgeball ($114.32 m)

17.  The Village ($114.20 m)

18.  The Grudge ($109.90 m)  

19.  Collateral ($100.00 m)

I think Lemony Snicket might have an chance at breaking the century mark before the end of the year.
