There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

When Star Wars came out, it was almost dead. Then everyone started talking about it. It held our famous Cine Capri theater as number one for over a year and it was always filled. But when it first came out, they said it was just a space movie.
So, how tall are these aliens? I havent seen the movie yet. I need to go I guess.. lol.
8 to 10ft at a guess, quite a bit bigger than humans at any rate
well sort of.... its unfair to compare all those movies with avtar as it is to say that avtar is the top movie of all time just on the $$ taken in. In the days of Gone with the wind a movie would run 2 to 3 years and have successful re releases every 5 10 15 years after its glory days. nowadays after a 6th mth run its onto dvd or blu ray and its basically dead for a box office run.
Those figures in the link posted prob need to be uped by 10 to 20%
Before computer ticketing,ticket 1/2 resell was all the rage in the smaller cinema chains it got so bad that the distributors had payed head counters running around all over town counting heads

Hey Bill
Dont know the biggest hurdle as far as the cinema owners are concerned is who pays for obsolescence.If they buy a 35mm plant then your good for 20,50 years, all the new tech in 35mm is additional in that you buy the addition and install them on the existing equipment.With digital equipment it can be only 1 or 2 years before your entire plant is obsolete.Can the cinema survive.... yes,there is one thing that home theater cant duplicate and thats the experience of a large group of ppl enjoying a film,funny films are funnier,scary films scarier when there is a large group sharing the experience.

It's like saying i'm a multi-millionair compared to the same guy living in the 1930s...simply cuz back then a good lunch+coffe costs you 5 cents or something to that degree...

also been playing a ton of other games...i've been playing a lot of X3 Reunion (decided to start w/ this one and then move on to TC). It's one deep game....i've "restarted" it a bunch of times...cuz too many ways to play it... making money by shooting ships is not a good way to make a living i found....trading and building stations seems to be the most cash-rewarding way...
