*disgusted* The whole board is going nuts over ( ) Star Wars, and you're giving me a hard time about a sweet, romantic movie with a great soundtrack?

As it happens, the CD case it sitting less than a foot away. (Now that I have a 1G card for my Palm, I was loading lots of music onto it.)

I want to see Titanic sink too (I know, lamest pun ever), but I've given up hope . Lord of the Rings couldn't do it. Spider-man couldn't do it. I don't think that Star Wars can do it... What the hell does it take!!?? Why did that movie make so much money in the first place? I'm not saying that it's not an okay film, but were there really that many Leo obsessed teenage girls with lots of time and money to waste? More than there are Star Wars/Lord of the Rings/Comic book geeks? Impossible! I smell shifty bookkeeping.

Keep in mind that the main reason LOTR didn;t was that the movies were over 3 hours long....each....and that limits the amount of times it can be shown every day.

I still don't thing so. Titanic made $600,788,188 domestic. The closest film is the Original Star Wars, which still missed that mark by about 140 million, and that's including the income from multiple re-releases. RotS will have to do A LOT better than any other Star Wars movie to overtake it. It's off to a good start, but realistically, we can expect a big drop after opening weekend. And worldwide, Titanic doubled the income of the nearest Star Wars film (TPM).

Titanic was over three hours, too.
Sadly, there's no way Ep. III will beat it.

If only Lucas had found a way to make Anakin a spunky faux-Irish lad. And had let us see Natalie Portman topless.

Heh, think Anakin should have been played by Colin Farrell?
I don't think I want to see Natalie Portman topless. She's always been a child in my mind, ever since The Professional. I'm probably going to have to avoid Closer for the rest of my life because she plays a stripper in it, I think.

The movie theater was packed, but only sold out about one show ahead. They were running 4 auditoriums, I think, maybe 5.
If it's as crowded tomorrow, I think it will hit at least $140M for F-S-S. Outside shot it opens with $200M for the long T-F-S-S opening weekend.

I saw Titanic in a theatre for free just before it went out of theatres. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I, too, would love to see that record fall, though I doubt it'll happen any time soon.

The problem with any science Fiction Movie beating Titanic is that not only did the teenage girls with a Leo fixation and money watch it, but so did their mothers,and their grandmothers, aunts, sisters etc, etc. And any dude trying to show his sensitive side went to see it too. Now mom and grandma aren't hardly going to see Revenge of the Sith until they are forced to when it comes out on video

Star Wars III is the BEST looking film i think i've ever seen. It visually blew me away and took me to far away worlds unlike anything I've ever seen. Obi-Wan was one of the COOLEST characters i've seen in a film since Brad Pitt in SNATCH, or maybe him as Tyler Durden.
Titanic was good and flawed.
Star Wars III is great and flawed.

But hey, you've got some serious sex appeal in Revenge of the Sith. Come on! Yoda! Hello?! Kidding. Seriously, Ewan and an older, cuter, better-acting Hayden are some nice eye candy that are drawing many ladies I'm sure. Maybe not at Leo scale, but there will be some measureable effects I think.

I'm with Dagonee on RotS having a great extended weekend. More of the non-fanatics bringing their kids and teens looking for entertainment.
Well, $85.5 million for Th-F. Lessee... $515.3 million to go... *glares at mother's copy of Titanic on the shelf...*

Hmmmph. Well, I am not seeing RotS this weekend, and now rivka has gone and stuck that stupid song from Titanic in my head! I coudn't listen to Top 40 FM radio for months, and even AM was bad.
How could you, rivka? (wailing in agony)

Hey, how did I get in that pod? I didn’t say anything about Natalie Portman. Not that I’d turn down a date with her or anything, but I made no claims of wanting to see her topless.
By the way, how about my prediction! 160 Million only off by 1.5 million. Sweet. Now for my next prophecy…………..
