Opinions vary greatly...no surprise there.

How do you guys think TPM did...if compared to other movies?...compared to the OT?

What box office record did it set???? (granted they're prob broken by now)

The Phantom Menace didn't hold a candle to the original trillogy.

And it grossed the second in history, second only to Titanic.

TPM is #3 on the all time box office records, behind Titanic and ANH.

okay fine. I was wrong.

wasn't bad, could be better though (I love SW!)

Inflation adjusted, Gone with the Wind beats them all, of course.

It also had lots of speed records, but Potter broke them (though long-term Potter is doing less well), and now we have LOTR coming... tricky.

Remember, though, that TPM's speed records were all the more impressive because GL limited the amount of cinemas it was released at.

let's get AOTC to the first place!

I have a feeling LOTR is going to break everything. I know im seeing it 12:01 tonight

I don't think it will.
But those Star Wars records will be broken soon anyway. Like Ush said, inflation doesn't get taken into account by most of those record keepers.

Does the amount of money something makes really matter?

to see the popularity normally, but it's stupid, "Gone with the wind" is number one WITH inflation

Who cares about Gone With the WInd...Scarlet o'Hara is so annoying!!!!!!!......anyway, I think we can make AOTC better......than any movie made thus far in hist......who's with me?????

no idea, haven't seen Gone with the Wind
I only know one quote:

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn

and that's because it caused a lot of commotion

A very memorable line....as for the rest of the 4 hour movie...don't bother seeing it.... it's just plain LONG.......

4 hours???

then I better watch the OT!

Yes, a much better investment of time

But just for you I'll give you a synopsis of Gone with the Wind:
1. Scarlet marries about 3 diff guys....one killed in civil war...one killed aft civil war...and one tells her...he doesn't give a **** and leaves.

2. she has a daughter with Ret who breaks her neck riding a horse

3. Scarlet loves Ashley but he marries Melonie....

4. Her father goes insane.

5. It's a regular soap opera ...only 4 hrs long....and very drawn out. A good experience...everybody should spend 4 hours of their life watching GWTW.

ok....def not my fav

no? why not?

let me count the ways ....one thousand and 3 reasons

hmm... I only get to one thousand and 1 reason...

count 'em again ....you must have missed the other 2

no still the same amount...
can you give your reasons so I can see?

Is anyone suprised LOTR only made half of what Harry Potter did in it's first few days?

Back on topic. TPM has slipped down to no3 in my favourite SW movies. Not because I think any less of it, it's just because ANH gets better everytime I watch it.

and ESB or RotJ is second?

1. ESB
2. ANH
3. TPM
4. ROTJ

woohoo RotJ as last

My list exactly...

Harry Potter had a strange 'bulge' for its sales, though. It dropped off amazingly fast, compared to its opening.

hyped and then when friends told others that the movie wasn't good, they didn't watched it

It was good. So was LOTR. This has been a great year for films. Next year will be even better.

nah nah nah nah nah Cloners cloners cloners...

They attack on May 16th!!!!!!

I can't wait till the Clones attack.

you slowed them down, they attack on the 17th here

...poor Yerssot....are you seeing it on the 1st day it comes out?

ssshh

I'm most likely not going to be able to watch AOTC til it's been out for a week or two. It's kinda hard to get in when the lines are really long.

That would be nice. If I worked at a movie theater at the time I could get in for free.

you just gave me an excellent idea! I'm going to work as popcorn-holder!

I resent those Gone With the Wind comments. That was my favorite movie before I saw Star Wars. Scarlett O'Hara is the greatest heroine in movie history. She did what she had to do to save her family and her home.

Let's leave that sort of thing for the movie areas, please.

who said that (s)he had 1003 reasons to hate that movie?
