Very depressing that Troy made more money than Fahrenheit 9/11. Love Michael Moore or hate him, that film is a great achievment and will be watched and argued over for years to come. I don't see anyone wanting to ever sit through Troy again.


Well, except for Peter O'Toole's performance, maybe. Talk about a five star performer in a one star movie. I hope he wins an Oscar for it.

It's amazing how well Shrek 2 did. I haven't seen it yet, but I do like Dreamworks CGI films more than Pixar's, so I'm glad to see Shrek 2 overtaking Finding Nemo.

I thought Spiderman 2 would do better. I thought it would break 400 million easy. I suppose its the law of diminishing returns.

I thought I Robot would do better as well. People raved about it when it was first released. I suppose Wil Smiths annoying overacting has finally got to people. The movie would have been so much better with Wesley Snipes instead.

I saw 6 of those top 10, plus a few others that were great. This was one of the best summers movie-wise that we've had in a long time.

I saw....

1. Shrek 2, $436.7M
2. Spider-Man 2, $369.9M
4. The Day After Tomorrow, $186.2M
6. I, Robot, $141.0M
7. Troy, $133.3M
10. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, $113.4M


The Village $110,507,857 (Shymalan not in the top 10)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle $17,832,106


Besides "Troy" and "The Village", I liked them all.
"Shrek 2" was good, but doesnt deserve to be #1. I thought "Spider-Man 2" was much better.
But, the prize of the summer had to be "Anchorman", the best movie of 2004 IMO.

I was expecting the complete opposite. The film was getting very negative pre-buzz and people were expecting it to get terrible reviews. I bet many others are impressed at the figures it ended up making.

...and... LOL @ Wesley Snipes being better than Will in that role.
