#16  But gays aren't the reason box office is down. Shitty movies and endless parade of crappy sequels and reboots is why the box office is down.

#15  1.6% of the population. Gays seem to be massively over represented. Or is there a prog agendas at work?

#10  RJ, Rambler is correct. When 1-3 came out there wasn't anything like Rotten Tomatoes or the blogosphere of today. Additionally, Hollywood releases overseas first now to milk the larger market. So they'll be two weeks of internet news and overseas blog posts about how horrible it is. Star Wars will do ok, but well under expectation's.

#9  Dinesh D'souza's documentary "America" seems to be doing well.

#8  RJ, if Star Wars 7 is as bad as Star Wars 1-3, it won't help at all.

#7  Of course rumors have Star Wars bumped to Christmas release because Han broke his leg. But still.

#6  I could be wrong but I think next Summer will see Avengers 2 and the new Star Wars movie. I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest that if that is right those two will do well.

#2  "Next summer will be the biggest box-office summer in history, and nobody will be worrying about the business."

Probably a Cubs fan.
