All it takes is for one $180 million dollar budgeted movie to tank and take the profits away from a studio....

It'll be tough to knock off the Titanic but apparently this film is getting lots of repeat visitors too. It's also been a while since a really good blockbuster movie came out, and personally I'm going to see it in IMAX and think a lot of other people who saw it in a regular theater will too. It might not break the Titanic record but it's going to be very, very profitable when all is said and done.

I was waiting to see if all my predictions were right concerning this film being the one to finally take down Titanic. You are right though in the fact that anybody in a position to gamble on the success of any multi-million dollar film is almost as insane as the Joker. Sure there have been abysmal crashes with movies like Waterworld, but yet, multi-million dollar projects start up every week it seems :). There just aren't ENOUGH bad gambles it seems haha.
