Is this the worst year for movies, ever? It's almost July, and there's been exactly one (1) movie worth paying for a ticket to see – Toy Story 3…

Cruise rarely has a film not surpass the 100 mil mark. Since A Few Good Men, 13 of his films have passed the mark with only Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Lions for Lambs and Valkyrie being the exceptions (but then again nobody expected those to go beyond that except for Valkyrie). I guess Tom Cruise really is done for.

Also Will Smith (arguably the biggest movie star in the world) has had 11 films go past the 100 mil mark, with Ali, Legend of Bagger Vance and Seven Pounds not making it.

Unless their marketing & distribution budget was truly outrageous, I'm fairly sure TS3's in actual profit by now. The figures in the post are domestic grosses only, and don't necessarily reflect the true gravymaking potential of an international hit like TS3 which has already made an additional 100m plus internationally. But yes, sigh, I should have mentioned that to avoid your anonymous slap on the wrist. Apologies to all pedants for not being more explicit.

"Since its reported budget is in the $200m ballpark, this means everything it makes from here on in is gravy"

That is not what it means. There's also marketing, distribution and other things typically not encompassed in the production budget.

i suggest that you please get rid of the 'you might also like' feature on the posts. personally, i find it annoying, but i don't think it works for the nature of your blog, and it's a bit distracting.
