Guys - wanted to share this link. The turtles sale is the biggest thing that I hadn't really thought much about before. This has been a great year for record sales.

 

Happy New Year!

Interesting article and reminded me of various things I'd forgotten already.

 

One pet peeve is the inclusion of some of the movies under "Comic Book Movies":

 

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Star Trek

Terminator Salvation

Astro Boy

 

Okay, the audience is probably pretty much the same, and these franchises have appeared in comics, but they all stood on their own as toys, TV shows, movies, and TV cartoons, respectively. They shouldn't be categorized as comic book movies.

i concur. was actually quite a poor domestic BO year for true comic book movies. Wolverine will end up barely in the top 15 and Watchmen in the top 30. and if you look at the multiple of BO they did compared to the first weekend, they are both dismal at about 2X. 2010 shaping up to be much better as IM2 looks like a lock for $300mm+

Astro Boy appeared in print probably ten years before the cartoon, so it actually counts. The others are definitely goofy.
