As far as everyone can tell, the movie box office does pretty well for itself. They make millions, if not billions, of dollars every year. What do they do with all that money? So, far in 2008 the total of money made in the box office is $9,189,500,000. If I had that much money I'd probably put it all in a pool and swim in it, because that's always been a dream of mine.This year many movies came out that made millions of dollars, but only one made the top of the list. I'm pretty sure we all know which one it was, but if you don't the movie was Batman: The Dark Night. It has been put in second place in the all time box offices, behind Titanic of course, by making a whopping $530,723,626. It even made more than Star Wars. I think the reason it made so much is because one of the main characters died before it was released in theatres.
Number two on the list this year was Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. and number three 
was the newest Indiana Jones. All together they made$635,338,050 but on their own that's only about $316,500,000 each. I'm starting to sense a pattern here where movies based on comic books make the most money now-a-days. Maybe in 2009 we'll see more movies based on comic books than any other movies that aren't.

release on January 11, 2008. I don't think that many people are that interested in documentaries anymore. I've never seen this movie, let alone heard of it. So, why didn't we see any previews for it? Maybe they didn't have enough money or they didn't want many people to see it. Who knows for sure?

Maybe they didn't have enough money or they didn't want many people to see it. Who knows for sure?I think in order for the box office to make all it's money they need to stop putting most documentaries in the theatres and put more comic based movies in. Maybe the biggest box office hit next year will be Watchmen. I know I can't rate for it to come out on March 6, 2009. Then again, I like almost every single movie I see. I guess I'll just have to wait to see if they can make as much money next year as they did this year, and to see what movie tops the charts. What do you think will be number one?
