Even Alexander made a lot of money when international box office was tallied up.  Peter Jackson still has the massive LOTR momentum to go on, so in the end it will make money.

Last year it seemed easy... this year has just been terrible and keeps getting worse for the box office... it will end up being 10-15% below last year and I believe we are having more releases than last year.

That is why it doesnt make a difference the budget of the movie, but if its good... if its good, it will make a lot of money... heck each of the Lord of the Rings movies made around 2 billion just in theatrical, dvds, tv rights... so it can definetly happen for a movie like King Kong... if its good

the others have nothing to do with it... people will go if they are interested... already 10% of the people are not going or going less... so it all comes down to the product that is out there

I'm not convinced its the quality of the product. A lot of bad movies made money last year. I think the boom of video games is playing an effect on younger crowd going to movies.

JimmyGator, I Have a question. When did you turn into a nutbar?

New Trailer here.

But is it me or does the non-HD trailer not work for anyone?

i can't wait. this is going to be a masterpiece that people years from now will look back on and say, "Kong was to Jackson as Salome was to Colin McKenzie; an ultimate masterwork."

anyway, kong/dinosaur/brody/black and watts ( :inlove: ) all look fantastic. this is gonna be great.
