	Although I only watched four of these, I did rather well thanks to the nonstop 'Year of the Sequels' coverage on the news this week.

	Great quiz! Needs a sequel.

	@beatrix: Since Smurfs is based on a series, I think that honor should go to Rio.

	Do the totals for this week not count toward 2011 gross? Just wondering, since Tintin would probably move up the list if you count Fri-Sat of this weekend (Dec 30-31).

	Sheldon:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 19:24 GMT	3 points
	They should, but I don't know how often they will be updating this. With the 2010 one I updated the list until all the 2010 movies had finished their run.

	What, no Jack and Jill?

	@Sheldon It accepts "Harry Potter 7" but not "Harry Potter 8". Technically this is the eighth film, though of the seventh installment. As far as updating published quizzes, it's a bit of a pain, but if you email the admins they should do it for you. You can do that through the feedback link on the bottom of the page, and some of the admins leave an email address on their user pages.

	Speaking of sequels, isn't it hard to believe that we are already on the 8th "Super" movie??!?

	as i clicked the start button, i said to myself, "guess 'potter' and 'twilight.'" did i actually guess the latter? of course not. ::facepalm:: (i also forgot to guess two others that i actually saw. sigh.)

	Great quiz. Weak year for films.

	tcatron565:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 22:37 GMT	5 points
	Tin Tin is already that high? I thought it just came out! I can't believe Real Steel is that high as well.

	jonnywardy:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 22:42 GMT	1 point
	What a **** year for films.

	Propellerhead:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 00:58 GMT	6 points
	@jonnywardy: It's a **** year for popular films, like most years. There are always good indie pictures under the radar.

	rockgolf:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 01:40 GMT	5 points
	Odd how even though much of the list is aimed-at-kiddies animation or brain-dead films like Transformers or Fast Five, no one complains that "oh, the movies these days are sooooo much worse than those from 10/20/50 years ago". And yet, when a list of this year's pop songs comes out, half the commenters feel it necessary to state how proud they are about how little they know of the list. @Tcatron: Tintin came out this week in the States but it's been open in most of the world for months. Speilberg knows the built-in audience for this film is mostly European, so that's where it opened first. If it does ok in the US, that's gravy.

	This year was crap for movies but next year looks good! The Hobbit, Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Wrath of the Titans, MIB III, Prometheus ... It seems like Hollywood is expecting the Mayan calendar to be correct so getting the good stuff out before Armageddon.

	brichards719:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 02:10 GMT	10 points
	how did only 67.7% of people get deathly hallows part 2.

	eab21:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 02:14 GMT	4 points
	@brichards719: Because a lot of people probably tried "Harry Potter" and then gave up after it didn't work.

	LadyGibbles:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 03:12 GMT	2 points
	I find my life to be quiet sad as I've seen only two of these movies. :/

	dlh9690:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 04:37 GMT	3 points
	@tcatron565, Tintin did just come out in the USA, but it was already released in Europe (where the original comics are most popular) and also some Asian countries back in October/November.

	IndigoBlue:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 04:52 GMT	2 points
	While I like the fact that we have to type out the full title (i.e. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' as opposed to just 'Harry Potter,') please keep it consistent. After seeing this trend, I assumed I had to type in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" to get the answer right, but it doesn't accept that; I had to shorten it to just "Breaking Dawn" to get it. Please accept the full title. :)

	Sheldon:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 11:30 GMT	2 points
	I never made it that way though. It is actually very lenient in what it accepts. "Pirates 4" for example is enough for On Stranger Tides. All other sequels just require the respective number as well (except for "Harry Potter 8"; forgot to add that one in). I only accepted the sequel names and/or numbers as opposed to the generic franchise name because it is about the specific movies that came out in 2011. While you shouldn't (and don't) have to bother writing out the full title, you should at least know which instalment it is up to.

	@ Sheldon: What about POTC 4 for Pirates?

	Kung Fu Panda 2 making more than Twilight? THERE IS A GOD!

	KevinThompson:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 20:25 GMT	6 points
	You can't say its a '**** year for films' based on which ones made the most because then you ignore the great films of the year like Moneyball, 50/50, Sherlock Holmes, I am Number 4, Immortals, Crazy Stupid Love, The Muppets, Adjustment Bureau, In Time etc etc

	usnspecialist:	Jan 6th, 2012 at 08:18 GMT	1 point
	jesus this is a crappy year for money-making movies. Usually at least a few of the big money makers are actually good.

	bsaa1:	Jan 14th, 2012 at 01:03 GMT	0 points
	You need to allow "2" instead of just "II"

	strider3005:	Feb 12th, 2012 at 14:23 GMT	1 point
	Smurfs made half a billion? Jesus.
