Author Topic: Whats the best the Theatrical grosses will ever touch ? Kamakshipalya Dhananjay Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Bangalore, India Registered: Aug 2002 posted 09-18-2003 01:27 AM                     So we have every year these days slightly registering a better take than the previous. I wonder what is the highest take the Box office receipts for North America (US and CANADA) will ever achieve in the next five years. I anticipate that such grosses wont ever exceed 10 billion USD for any year over the next 5 years. Your take...  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 09-18-2003 09:31 AM                    so long as ticket prices go up and each year maintains a certain level of quality entertainment. THe grosses will go up.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-18-2003 06:28 PM                        I expect that in 2005 we will hit 14 billion in grosses.

Ten years ago it was impressive for a movie to gross $200 million in North America. Now few care. I guess I might start caring again if the movie news people counted how many tickets were sold. For the North American market alone, you could call the movie a hit with 25 million tickets. It might qualify as a movie event with 50 million tickets. Sell 100 million tickets and you can call it a qualified blockbuster. I'm not sure whether to double, triple or quadruple those numbers for world-wide bragging rights.  |  IP: Logged Kamakshipalya Dhananjay Expert Film Handler Posts: 190 From: Bangalore, India Registered: Aug 2002 posted 09-20-2003 12:32 AM                     Dodona Research of the UK has done an excellent study of more than 59 film markets and I am told their data for the North America in respect of 2005 indicates a decline in theatrical revenue for that year in relation to previous years'.
