All Time Movie Blockbuster [Update As At 18th Feb.2008]

It's almost ten years since 'Titanic' released in theaters worldwide. A superb tremendous 'phenomenon' of the time when most movie goers will watch this movie in average of 2 times and above. Could you ever imagine this romantic love story will ever smash all kinda box office records including the great 'Star Wars Trilogy'? Seeing is believing...Hollywood is still trying to beat this record; lots of attempts, ideas and strategies including 'Lord of The Rings Series', 'Harry Potter Series', Bruckeimer's 'Pirates of The Carribean' franchise, super-hero series of 'Spiderman' and animation movie from Dreamworks 'Shrek' to Pixar's 'Finding Nemo. Everything failed to please the crowd till today. What actually do the people want? This is the billion dollar question that always pop-up in every producers and film-makers today. Is it another tragic love story that the people need though? Whoever with the ideas or master-plan will definitely be an instant billionaire. Dream on....... - Ibrahem.S
