Total worldwide revenues doubled from their previous record of 2. This is partially due to increased market penetration, especially internationally international revenue tripled from 7. Revenue for the fourth quarter was also up compared to last year, but by a tiny margin at 1.

Its Thanksgiving long weekend next weekend, which could make our weekly box office prediction contest a little more complicated for a couple reasons. First of all, our target film, Tangled, opens on Wednesday, but we are only interested in the Friday to Sunday number. Secondly, Thanksgiving is just a confusing weekend much of the time. You would think family films would do huge business, but a lot of the time, families are too busy eating to see a movie. Fortunately, we do have a really big prize to entice people to enter. In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for Tangled. Whoever comes the closest to predicting the films opening 3 day weekend box office Friday to Sunday, without going over, will win a copy of Avatar Extended Collectors Edtion on Blu ray.

That said, is the Extended Collectors Edition worth the wait And is the DVD or Blu ray worth picking up More. September 8th, 2.
