...performance of Ice Age 3, which over its first five days did outgross Transformers, was a bit spottier. Benefiting from the hiked prices for 3-D showings (which brought in about 40% of the take), the movie still earned less in those five days than 2006's Ice Age: The Meltdown did in its first three. It didn't help that Dawn of the Dinosaurs was the summer's fifth movie whose cast of characters included at least one prehistoric beast. (Can you name the other four?*) It may be time for Hollywood to go back to spacemen...
...moguls had been Greeks, they would have given The Odyssey another title: Iliad II--better brand recognition. And they would surely have pressured Homer to come up with a threequel. Maybe Ulysses could go up against Hercules in a real battle of the titans. Why, it could outgross Freddy vs. Jason...
...THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY, "I DIDN'T MAKE THIS MOVIE TO MAKE MONEY," OBVIOUSLY YOU DO WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO SEE THE MOVIE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES THAT IT RAISES.

"I am confident that we can beat all those movies...
...office behind Harry Potter. Unlike Potter, however, it ended up on numerous critics' best-of-the-year lists and received 13 Oscar nominations. This time it's widely assumed in Hollywood that Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, set for release on Dec. 18, will outgross Chamber of Secrets. Potter-mania seems to have quieted, partially because there hasn't been a Potter novel in two years. While Philosopher's Stone pulled in $318 million in the U.S., the sequel is expected to make closer to $250 million - still an impressive number, and Potter will undoubtedly win the merchandising...
