Seems like 2007 is a good year at the Box Office, compared to the past few years that is, where sales and audience numbers were going down.
Through Sunday, ticket sales are at $2.1 billion, a healthy 6% ahead of the same time last year and 5% ahead of 2005, according to estimates from Nielsen EDI.
And with summer crammed with such showcase movies as Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, studio executives already are crowing that 2007 could be a record breaker.
Already, three films released this year —300, Wild Hogs and Ghost Rider— have brought in more than $100 million. And Eddie Murphy’s Norbit nearly hit the mark with $94 million. Last year, no movie crossed the blockbuster mark in the first quarter, according to Box Office Mojo.
On a side note, I went to “Shooter” this weekend. I really enjoyed it. If you are into military/conspiracy type of action movies, I highly recommend it. Check out the trailer here.
