Hmm...I just asked myself a question: Which snatches up more $$$? Movies at the theatre or their replica in stores on VHS and DVD?

Depends on the movie...
A movie like Spiderman 2 did VERY well at the theaters, and has or will do very well at home.
A movie like Gigli did horribly at the theaters, and there was no way it was going to sell well at home...and from what I heard, it sold like cr**!!!
Quality sells...

Good movies sell good both at home and theatres, (&@%%! movies suck both in theaters AND at home. Now, let' s look in perspective of a popular movie. If a popular movie did good in theatres, will its replica make more or less $$$ on VHS and DVD?

A much bigger deal seems to be made about how much money a film makes in the cinema over how much a film makes on DVD or Video. Even though the DVD' s and Video' s are sold for more than the price of a cinema ticket I' m willing to bet a significant number of people don' t bother buying a film after seeing it on the big screen.

It depends (like a video game) on its replay value. If you get a movie like ' Sixth Sense" you wach it once and when you know what happens youll never really want to see it again. Then you have movies like " Matrix" , " Dark City" , " 5th Element" , " Starwars" , " Independance Day" (the one with aliens -1997). Which keep showing up with different tidbits and new meanings the more you wach them. Same goes for books that have lasted through time, and video games with replay value. Like comparing Arcanum to Medal Of Honor: Allied Assult. Sure you can play once or twice throug straight foreward levels of invisable walls. Where the weapons and soldiers are exactly in the same spot. Or you could play Arcanum 200 times for the same entertaiment because every time all the enemies, loot and quests chainge around, plus get further mixed up in usfullness depending on what various atributes you set up your adventurer with. In the end, by older DVDs, when you already know whats on it and still wanna see it for 5$. But stockpiling usless VCS & DVDs like my dad is not the way to go..  JOLLY acorns! Willy has just seen Independance Day a record 67 times!
