Titanic: 600mil domestically (more than a billion world wide)
TDK MIGHT get to 500mill domestically...might. There's no fucking way it gets to 600mil
-
Don't take your bitterness out on me because America has decided that The Dark Knight is not nearly as fun and awesome as BRENDAN FRASIER SHOTGUN FLIPPIN' YETIS AND JET LI
-
Considering TDK has been out for a couple weeks, it is more of a 1b than second place.

5 SWING VOTE $1,950,000
Fuck you, America.

MUMMIES! THEY NEVER PLAY FAIR!
-
Mummy 3 looks like the worst movie since Pineapple Express. Art house movies like TDK get owned again by tasteless moviegoers. :(
-
Universal's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" wasn't able steal the box office crown away from Warner Bros.' juggernaut "The Dark Knight," which pulled off the near-impossible by dropping only 42% in its third weekend to all but cross the $400 million mark in domestic ticket sales.
The race was close, however. "Dragon Emperor" grossed $42.4 million domestically from 3,760 screens, while "Dark Knight" grossed $43.8 million from 4,266 theaters for a cume of $394.9 million.

If you combine both of Brendan Fraiser's movies, he could top it!
-
:rofl
-
Poor Willco
-
how many other actors or actresses have had two movies in the top ten at the same time (i'm sure there've been one or two others)
that's sort of impressive
regardless of his acting ability, fraser seems to be a pretty sharp guy when it comes to picking roles in money movies
-
let's list the brendan fraser movies that were better than dark knight, i'll start us off:
airheads
gods and monsters
blast from the past
bedazzled
-
Brendan Fraser has been in a lot of bad films. :-\
-
Those two episodes of Scrubs.
-
COWARDS!!!!!
-
Those two episodes of Scrubs.
Three episodes
-
i was going to post that, but they weren't shown in theaters
then again you can download them off bit torrent just like dark night
the decision is made, allowed
brendan fraser scrubs > dark knight

TDK just shotgun-flipped Mummy 3. :bow2 :american America redeemed. :american

Bubububu the Mummy has a higher per-screen average. The only reason TDK won is because it's in more theatres.

Well maybe Nolan should have edited his bloated movie down a bit if he wanted to avoid the Mummy steam engine.

Did you see the movie yet TVC?

No, theaters are obviously still too full. I am more on the "Mummy 3 > Indy 4" party line, but I'll troll wherever I can.

Anything is better than Indy 4

Universal didn't put it on more screens because they knew it was a turd. Sent to die.

These are estimates. Sometimes they're 1.5 million off! What if we find out The Mummy made more tomorrow!

Yes, these people forget that MUMMIES NEVER PLAY FAIR

NEVER EVER!

not so sure about that

Indy 4 was awesome STFU.

I was on vacation last week and I saw Mummy 3 with my family. SOOOOO SOOOO BAD. smh If the movie had been a kung-fu movie with all chinese people then it would have been cool but:

You were right, the estimates were more then $1.5 Million off! The Mummy 3's actual was more than $1.5 Million lower than the estimate. Not even Zombie Jet Li and Yeti can stop Dark Knight.
-
people getting worked up over generic blockbusters. yawn.
Indeed, Mummy 3 is nothing to get worked up over. Spend your money on arthouse, Oscar-bait like Dark Knight instead.

TDK was really bad in retrospec. So much wrong with it. There's even a front page article on Yahoo about what people hated about it. :lol

Didnt you hate it from the beginning? I think the phrase "in retrospec" is reserved for people who change opinions.
Also, saw the movie again yesterday. Still a great movie.
-
Whatever, i'm not american so I don't type in american so sorry if my american is bad
-
In retrospect Dark Knight is still awesome. LOL there are like 100 generously positive reviews on Rotten. OMG ROLFBBQ!!1

No, it's an article about people complaining about Bale's Batman voice, which was apparently the only thing that people could think of to complain about.

Do you really think Methodis can read?
-
Everytime I see Methodis's name I read My Name is Meth and read his posts as if they were from a meth head. /random thought
-
his posts make me want to sew his ass cheeks closed and keep feeding him, and feeding him, and feeding him
-
I was talking with this student the other day and she said "tomorrow I have to go to math lab" and I heard "meth lab" and was like "damn you have nice teeth for a meth head, girl!"
-
Why is PD, I'm assuming it's him, allowed to change his name every other week?
-
Cause PeeDee thinks hes funny or some shit.
-
You fools are just jealous that someone on the internet has a reasonable peace of mind.

Um no, it was just a typo in the thread title, I even said in the original post you fucking idiot japafag sucking mother hucking cock sneezing inbred breeding guy anus licking while touching everyones penises which you like because you're a penis liker and even if you're not a penis liker it still sounds awesome to call you a penis liker because i'm sure deep down inside of you there is a penis liker in there that it was the best movie of 99 IMHO

Even if it *were* a typo, which I don't believe for a second, who in the hell refers to a year as "the 99's"?
BEST MOVIE OF THE '08'S!

It was because the post was originally going to be best movies of the 90's but I ended up watching Go while working on the post and just wanted to make a Go appreciation post, and forgot to change the title.

we have another autistic poster i see. good for you.
Who is the lowest functioning autistic poster?
Methodis, Wolf Gang, Pharmacy, or laeapsppssppaznz?

Mummy 3 trolls itself by losing #1 spot at the BO to a movie in its third week.
-
Whatever, I could never face off against the TDK Illuminati with rational thoughts that aren't sucking off the penis of a cartoon character.

What else is there to argue about them? Artistic merit?

Apparently autistic merit between the illuminati

At least we can seek comfort in the fact that another terrible Eddie Murphy movie tanked even harder on a bigger budget.

Who the hell greenlights those... things?
The Adventures of Pluto Nash cost $100 million to make. It made $7 million worldwide.
Meet Dave cost $55 million to make. It's made $10 million.
Just think of all the good that could've been done with that money. Feeding the poor, funding AIDS research, providing people with affordable housing? Nope! Let's make another shitty Eddie Murphy "family" comedy that no one will want to watch!
-
The real question is what brain trust had the idea "Hey, let's make a Sci-Fi comedy with Eddie Murphy! That's never been tried before!"
-

20th Century Fox distribution executive Bert Livingston said of the box office bomb that cost $55 million to make, "It was a tough concept to get across. It's upsetting for all of us and for Eddie. He's very funny in this. Just not enough people came."
Apparently we're not cool enough to "get it."

I love how they make fun of Eddie Murphy in 30 Rock with Tracy Jordans character :lol
-
tracy jordan :lol
-
He's my favorite character in the show

He's my favorite character in the show
He was laughing that you said Tracy Jordan, as opposed to Tracy Morgan, the actual name of the actor.
-
I saw Mummy 3 with friends, and we all thought it was a really funny action movie. It was a easy going experience.
I saw Dark Knight too, 2 times, it was much better the 1st time around, because you believe Joker will pull it off, and let's face it, nobody gives a fuck about Batman in Dark Knight, it was the joker show with a bit of two face on the side. Heath Ledger deserves the oscar. And i never liked the joker before.
And somebody teach Nolan how to direct action, i mean the chase sequence was boring as shit.
-

Why would I say Tracy Morgan though? The character in the shows name is Tracy Jordan....

LOL the chase scene was fucking amazing.
-
The final part sure, when the truck gets turned over. Before that, boring and unexciting. There was no speed, it was like things were happening in a really slow and casual way.
Pretty crappy action directing. And whats up with Batman's fighting? Only involves waist up, the moves always look the same, some weird punches with the characters waiting to be hit, pretty crappy fighting choreo.
-
*sigh*
I'm not gonna even say anything.
-
I DO agree that Nolan's chase scenes for whatever reason lack any sense of speed. The same was true of the chase in BB - the cars feel like they're going about 40mph tops.
-
I thought the chase sequence was amazing, but I do agree that they did lack a sense of speed. I don't think there is anything really wrong with that. I mean, both with the Batpod and the Tumbler, it showed them using shortcuts most of the time, so it almost made sense in a way.

I don't see whats wrong with waht I said?
-
Protip: Tracey Morgan actually exists. Tracey Jordon on the other hand, does not. Get it?
-
No, because I knew that before I wrote that post.
Maybe it was because I put character in there to explain to people who don't watch the show that Tracy Jordan is a character in the show.
-
::)
I hated Scarface and hated Al Pacino's character.
I hated Scarface and hated Tony Montana's character.
Which makes more sense.
You were obviously referring to the actor.

Scarface sucks.

No I wasn't. Maybe it's just a different way of talking up here in Venezuala, but we always say character when talking about a character.
-
I said Tracy Jordans character, with no apostraphe, not indicating ownership on Tracy Jordans behalf.
-
Critics, film-goers, and box office agrees: Box Office discussion > Semantics debate
-
For the record, I was laughing because he called Tracy Morgan 'Tracy Jordan.' Of course, when I did that, I had no idea that Tracy Jordan was the name of the character, so when I googled it after his response I felt appropriately stupid.
