Top Grossing Movies of 2000s and Us

If you made a top-20 grossing movie in the 2000s [via Kottke], it either was an animation, action heroes, or fantasy/scifi movie. It holds true if you go down till #33. Other genres with the exception of Lord of the Rings and Dark Knight (or rather Heath Ledger did) won awards. What the public wants and what the critics like can be so different. On other thoughts, you can imagine how rich J.K. Rowling and Peter Jackson are and how much we love our pirates and action heroes.

I wonder how does the list for Indian movies look like. At least it won’t have a wedding movie with 14 songs at the top this decade.

Not much different from 14 song weep-o-drama i feel!

    Suddenly I’m starting to see the 90s as the better decade. I saw ‘Welcome’ in the theater last time I was in India and wanted to kill myself. Are we old enough to say, humare zamaane mein…

    And at #50 is the cinematic comedy classic Meet the Fockers! People just have money to waste, don’t they?

    I was surprised that the original wasn’t in the list but the second one was. The first one was released in 2000 (was incidentally my first ‘theater’ movie in the U.S.) so it should’ve been included.
