This is a real nostalgia trip. You just don't see ads touting a movie that been running for 33 weeks in a row anymore. :)

yeah, you do..

dark knight, avatar, titanic, et.

back to the future.. jurassic park,

..etc. etc. etc..

All but two of those movies are over a decade old or more. I don't recall Dark Knight or Avatar playing for well over a year.

Only two of those even qualify as "recent" movies. And I don't recall either one playing well over an entire year. That just does not happen in today's box office climate, where the home video version is often being worked on before the film even opens.

you only mentioned 33 weeks..

 

all of those lasted 33 weeks and even longer..

et lasted a year.

jurassic park a year.

etc. etc.. (domestic)

later
