Polar Express Hit Another Milestone on IMAX

2006-03-11

The Polar Express: The IMAX Experience, which was already the highest grossing DMR film, crossed $60 million worldwide during its second season of release.

Both The Polar Express: IMAX Experience and Santa vs. the Snowmen hit milestones this past weekend.

Both films earned more than enough to ensure they will be playing in many IMAX theatres next year, which is good news for both the studios and the theatre owners alike.

The Polar Express: The IMAX Experience as seen continued growth recently, popping above the $1 million mark this past weekend and lifting its total past $50 million on IMAX screens, including $5 million from this year's run.

DVD Releases for November 22, 2005

2005-11-21

As Christmas approaches, each week more and more DVDs are being released that theoretically would make perfect gifts. But for the DVD Pick of the Week I went with the perfect Re-Gift, Seinfeld - Re-Gift Set. There are a couple others I would recommend (like the King Kong - Collector's Edition), but overall it feels like a really slow week.
