[MOPO] YOU CALL THAT A BLOCKBUSTER?
THE NEW YORK TIMES has a great chart assessing the real blockbusters of movie attendance, with figures in MILLIONS adjusted for inflation. 1. GONE WITH THE WIND $1,329 2. STAR WARS $1,172 3. SOUND OF MUSIC $937 4. ET THE XTRA TERR $933 5. 10 COMMANDMENTS $862 6. TITANIC $845 7. JAWS $843 8. DR. ZHIVAGO$817 9. THE EXORCIST $728 10. SNOW 7 DWARFS $717 11. SHREK 2 $468 12.SPIDER MAN $457 13.SPIDER MAN 2 $396 14.PIRATES CARIBBEAN$333 15.SHREK $311 One interesting note is TITANIC, as high as it appears on the list, never had a re-release. All the ones preceding had several which in the case of Star Wars added a 100 million to its gross. freeman fisher 8601 west knoll drive #7 west hollywood, ca 90069 ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Re: [MOPO] of course, it is NOT an American original
He was British. His first films were made in Britain. He then went on to make Foreign films. But, if you're not British in that case I suppose country of origin is Foreign.

[MOPO] Cinevent Attendance
Thought you folks might like to know that after a decade of slow decline, Cinevent attendance this year was up about 7% - the largest single increase in attendance since the Vintage Poster Art Auction joined us on Memorial Day weekend years ago. Needless to say, we are delighted to make up a huge check of the numbers we had lost, and this should give us all hope that the increase indicates the rumors of the death of film collectors conventions are greatly exaggerated! Hope to see even more MOPOers here for our 40th Anniversary show over Memorial Day Weekend in May of 2008.
