OT. And it is possible that too much emphasis is being visited on the Karma thing.

Same here, I didn't go see it until 31 decembre when I had nothing to do in the afternoon. Thought it could be an interesting movie. It certainly was the best day of the year.

Same. I was never going to see this movie... I saw the article in the newspaper, and then an article in popularscience... and i was like... ya tats cool and all i guess. looks really strange though.

Then, one on my friends was like, hey, want to go see avatar? it was over winter break, and of course, i hadnt seen him in a bit... so, I was like... ya... sure... and then everything changed.

loved it so much I took my family a few days later.. and then i found this site.

finding the site was a good thing, dont get me wrong. or... it might be a bad thing... considering the ammount of time I have spent here. the little counter reminds me i have spent 29.5 hours here...which does not include the week or so I lurked around before i bothered to get an account, or reading the pocket book, doing crossword puzzles and worksheets, and rereading the pocket book. Alot of reading the pocketbook....

Avatar will remain on regular Theatre IMAX screens until March 5, when Alice in Wonderland opens.  At which point, these prints will have been in rotation for nearly three months and so they will need to be shipped back to LA for cleaning and maintenance as necessary.  Movie theatres then get a second chance to show IMAX Avatar by requesting the prints, with those theatres who previouisly showed it being at the top of the list.  As the year moves on, main theatres will probably stop showing it and return the prints, and secondary IMAX theatres such as museums will end up having special 'one off' showings.  Those might be quite spectacular and worth waiting for (maybe around the middle of the year).

Thanks for that. I was wondering when the local museum IMAX would get it. We had a really crappy xmas IMAX video this year, so I know sales are way down. I was hoping to support the museum IMAX, and now I know I can. It's just a matter of time. I love my museums.

Sorry, but that was old news. Reuters (the official news source agency) officially broke the story earlier. BUT . . . we still have another 50 million domestically to finish the job. (Quote from Mortal Kombat; "FINISH HIM!!" I wish I could make the screen shake when you read that).

But here is some fun trivia, since someone asked earlier. This info is hard to figure out, so this is a rare find:

"Then there is the inflation factor. According to a formula developed by the department of U.S. Labor Statistics, "Titanic's" 1997 worldwide gross is worth at least $2.5 billion on an inflation adjusted basis, or $805 million domestic and $1.664 billion foreign.

Still champ is "Gone With the Wind," which grossed $400 million worldwide in 1939, now worth at least $6 billion in today's dollars. One dollar in 1939 is the equivalent of $15.43 today."

Okay, so someone invent a time machine that goes back to 1943 and but a LOT of cheeseburgers and fries. I'll get the ketchup.

I say "Phooey" on value equivalence. Bucks is bucks!

Fortunately every one of the list-keepers (they are self-appointed gate keepers of history) will agree with you. And beating Avatar will mean ticket prices on Ahhnold (or Shreck) movies will have to shoot up to at least $50 each.
