Concur. There's a good chance 2009 will have over a 10% increase from 2008, which would make it the biggest increase ever since 1989, one of the most important years in BO history.
Interesting that we have this thread and you say the above. The 99 years have been quite impressive;
1939 - Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Goodbye Mr Chips (biggest film of all time plus other memorables)
1959 - Ben Hur, Sleeping Beauty (two of the biggest blockbusters of all time)
1969 - Butch Cassidy, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider Vs Paint Your Wagon, Herbie the Love Bug and Paint your Wagon (the changing of the guard and moving towards the new Hollywood)
1989 - Batman, Indy, Ghostbusters, Lethal Weapon, BTTF (the birth of the megaplex)
1999 - Star Wars Ep 1, Sixth Sense, Austin Powers, American Pie, American Beauty, The Mummy, TS2 (one of the most iconic years in history plus big BO)
So at the start of the year I thought the streak would be over as the year seemed to offer very little - but WOW it sure did deliver!!!!
