Titanic made so much $$ because alot of people saw it multiple times in the theater........ it had great "return customer" foot traffic.... I know alot of women saw it a dozen times in the theater...

Even with really good movies nowadays, most people see it once in the theater and then just rent/buy it on DVD......not many movies have people come see it in the theater over and over again......ALOT of people feel Dark Knight will have alot of return customers in the theater....

What irks me is that they dont rank the movies by the number of viewers, they rank it on $$....10 years ago movies didnt cost $10 to get in...... so a movie may have 1/2 as many people see it but still set record $$ stats....
