    Real shame that these are all great films, yet the world is in the phase where they will only head to the cinemas to watch action/sci-fi films. Real shame.

        "only" is hyperbole but: http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2013

          The major audience for cinema movies is males aged (about) 16 - 35. So the studios prepare "potential box office hits" with them in mind.

          It's a shame, but there are good movies made regardless.

        • Lord_Sif on 25/02/2014 - 22:26

          Cute, people still think Oscars have any legitimacy (and some how believe they know what 'higher culture' is).

        • daveted on 26/02/2014 - 08:11

          Those box office mojo figures are US only. Some US films do better overseas. You'd really need to see the worldwide box office. I think it would still be similar.

          It would be also be interesting to see the top 20 films with percentage gross. I think the films would be different then.

          e.g. Blue Jasmine - budget $18 mill. Box office $94 mill. That's a 500% profit.
          Hunger games - budget 140 mill. Box office (worldwide 861 mill). 600% profit.
          We're the millers - budget $37M. Box office $269M. 700% profit.

        • Hsanity on 26/02/2014 - 12:35

          yes mi lord, please enlighten us, how Academy award isn't legit source for excellency in cinema.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2014 - 20:57

          @daveted - the profitability stuff would be interesting to me and maybe to youº. They wouldn't be particularly indicative of how many people saw them, just an interesting byline about how many saw them for how much was spent on them.

          The worldwide figures usually track pretty evenly with the US domestic, especially on the top end of the scale. Let's take a look!

          http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&y…

          In the US domestic top 20 there were 10 strictly action/sci fi/fantsy type films. There were 4 more borderline ones with animated kids films.

          In the worldwide top 20 there were 13 strictly action/fantasy/sci fi films plus those same 4 kids films.

          Worldwide appears to be more sci fi/action/fantasy oriented than the US… huh. I would not have guessed that.

          º you don't appear know that that's just the production budget and that those are gross figures not net figures. It seems likely you haven't found them interesting enough in the past to investigate what they mean. After prints & advertising budgets and net gross are taken into account Blue Jasmine probably only made $5 mil, a profit of ~25%, Hunger Games probably profitted ~$230mil with a ~115% profit, We're the Millers around $81 mil with a profit of around 150%.

          These are ballpark figures based on averages, of course, 'cause films don't publically release all their info.

    • pana on 25/02/2014 - 16:23

      Truer words have never been spoken.

      100% agree

      You are ignorant ng the fact that you don't need to go to the cinema to get what you want out of a more cerebral me view. I never watched a Woody Allen movie and thought "Gee I wish I had a 10m screen and the surround!"

      • daveted on 26/02/2014 - 08:24
        -1

        The subtlety of the big screen acting is not as noticable on TV e.g. someone on the verge of crying noticable by a glimmer of moisture in the eye. This is quite obvious on the big screen, totally lost on TV.

        TV acting is also different, and has to be a bit more exaggerated because the screen is smaller.

        And slower, cerebral movies can be mesmerising on the big screen, but become a yawn-fest on TV.

        So, Woody Allens' Blue Jasmine is actually a big screen film.

        • Jackson on 01/03/2014 - 10:49

          Well, funny you mention that movie, as I just watched it on my 52" in FHD and didn't feel like I lost anything. Maybe you just need a bigger tv?

      Who needs to see a thoughtful character-driven piece on a big screen with surround sound?

        Think Chongy talking about the remake. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234721/

        Chongyyyyyy

          and has only just been released, so not eligible for oscars or 2013 box office charts.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2014 - 21:00

          I don't know what you're talking about. There has been no remake and that IMDB link is dead.

          There was also no Robocop 3, although I've heard people talk about it like it's a real thing.

        • NotAMoodle on 26/02/2014 - 21:44

          Are you using the Internet to access the IMDB link or some sort of other new invention that doesn't work with IMDB.

          I've just tested the link above on all 3 of my devices and it works. If it wasn't working, could you not possibly go to IMDB and type in Robocop and see what magic happens? Just a thought.

          Anyway, I made it tiny for you, see if it helps you out. http://tinyurl.com/Chongyyyyy

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2014 - 21:56

          I tried that but I just got Robocop and Robocop 2. And Robo CHIC, for some reason.

          Maybe if you told me the director or star I could find it that way?

          I'm not sure why you linked me to the Steam Community page of a sexually confused illiterate.

        • NotAMoodle on 26/02/2014 - 22:02

          Sorry this is the first time using the World Wide Web for you, but the director is José Padilha and if I type Robocop in IMDB it is the first search. No big deal, just like proving a point to people that are wrong

        • NotAMoodle on 26/02/2014 - 22:03

          Chongy

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2014 - 22:08

          Nope, that director hasn't had anything released since 2010 and what he's got coming out later this year isn't Robocop.

          I took a screenshot as proof: http://imgur.com/apJzPOS

          I'm pretty sure it's just Robocop and Robocop 2. Maybe you're confusing it with the myth of Robocop 3, or that nonsense I heard that there have been two separate TV series based on it. All ludicrous of course.

        • NotAMoodle on 26/02/2014 - 22:22

          Your satire wins.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2014 - 22:25

          That's actually the new TMNT movie. You can see Rafael in the background of one of the production stills: http://imgur.com/wzq4N6A

          I think we can all agree that the only person who won here was Chongy.

    It would be nice to see them do the same for Sundance etc… but I would bet this is Event just doing the maths of how many more people go to an Oscar winner, the short attention span of people who live off Oscar results and the news telling them what they should go watch, and capitalising on everyone who's got the guilt of still not seeing that must see Oscar winner with the ambiance of sticky floors and whispers… If and when they do a promotion for more independent acclaim and worth, such as Slamdance or Sundance etc I would support that and go…
