I've always had a problem with reading the news and hearing "Box office record" or "Highest grossing film ever".

Why? Simple. Inflation. If you adjust for inflation, Titanic is only Number 6 in North America.
At number three, The Sound of Music holds the highest position for a movie that was released only once.

ticket sales are the only real indicator. You really think this movie beat out Star Wars?
Hell, even unadjusted for inflation I doubt it will. It grossed 460 million in the United States, and that was in 77. In 1970 movie tickets cost $1.55.

Of course, what I'm saying is only for North America, and does not include the rest of the world. But then again, a lot of news reporters don't either.

I think it's possible that there are more squealing teenage girls than there are Star Wars fans in the world. Just sayin'.

If this is true, god save us all.

And the fact that they will go see that foetid piece of crap multiple times. Just to get their edward fix. -.-;

It's all subjective, though. I mean, how many times did you see Dark Knight? Must have seen it at least four times, myself, and that's not counting all the times I went with friends.

It is a tragedy that a film like this breaks records, even if those records aren't completely accurate. At least Dark Knight was an example of stellar film making in general, even if you're not a fan of the film's subject matter.

There are more squealing teenage girls than there are human beings in existence (including past, present and future populations).

OT: You would think they'd just make a twilight religion already, Edward is their God, becoming immortal is their only commandment and instead of AMEN they say Glitter-vamp's!!!

Unless, of course, (S)He is also a squealing teenage girl...

This is why earplugs were invented, people saw this coming and they prepared.

I saw Goodfellas three times in the space of about a day the first time I watched it.

I guess Twilight is like Goodfellas to gullible young girls with no ability to notice minor things like fine acting and quality writing... And their absence.

And thing is, the Twilight fandom is spreading like the Bubonic Plague. With each new movie, more teenage girls contract the "Twilight Plague" and turn into squealing fangirls who give off high pitched squeals whenever Twilight is mentioned.

well, the worst part is that the teen girls donīt know that Robery Pattingson started acting back in 3rd Harry Potter movie. and even back he was as horrible as ever.

i need to write "Anti-Twillight Gun" on my wish list.

I think that this is an atrosity that new moon is even grossed as much as some of the best movies of all time. Quite honestly just the fact that it is being harolded as the second coming just because a bunch of sceaching tweens think that sparkaly vampires are dreamy and that the werwolf is super sexy (I am acualy quoteing people on this) sudenly it has over shadowed true masterpieces like star wars,casablanca, and other movies that will still be popular even after these pieces of shit are collecting dust at the bottom of a bargin bin at wal-mart.
