Das schlechteste Kinojahr aler Zeiten

[Damien3]

Wow,
jetzt ist es amtlich. 1985 gab es ein Jahr in dem 16 Wochen lang das Vorjahresergebnis nicht eingeholt werden konnte.
Damals sprachen alle von einer Katastrophe! Zur Zeit ist es aber die 18 ! Woche in der das Vorjahr nicht eingeholt werden konnte!
18 lange ochen in denen das Einspielergebnis niedriger Jahr war als das im Vorjahr!

The combination of Batman, Herbie the love bug, and Samantha the witch were not enough to lift the box office out of its chronic slump this weekend. All performed reasonably well, with Batman Begins holding the top spot for the second week with an estimated $26.8 million in ticket sales to bring its total to $121.7 million. Sony's Bewitched, with Nicole Kidman playing Samantha, opened in second place with about $20.2 million. Disney's Herbie: Fully Loaded starring, Lindsay Lohan, opened at No. 4 with $12.8 million ($17.8 million since its Wednesday debut), just behind the third week of Fox's Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie comedy thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith, with $16.8 million, which has now taken in $125.4 million. The only other new film this weekend was George Romero's Land of the Dead from Universal, which took in $10.2 million, qualifying for the fifth spot. Overall sales were down from last year for the 18th weekend in a row, falling 16 percent to $116.7 million for the top 12 films.
