exciting good row third week year
It's a good place to be, isn't it? It's pretty exciting for us that not only is this the third week in a row we've had a No. 1 film, but 'Identity' is also our third No. 1 film of the year (following 'Darkness Falls' and 'Anger').
audiences chord depend good star strikes
There's something about (horror) that strikes a chord with audiences. It doesn't depend on a big star as much as a good concept.

It's just one of those edge-of-your-seat-type stories that totally captures people's imaginations.
attention audience critics might pay
It's kind of a guilty-pleasure movie. It's a lot of fun, and I don't know if the audience would pay attention to what critics might say.

I think 'The Fog' had a lot of really cool elements in the sense it's a remake of a classic film of John Carpenter's and had a hot cast.
audiences male older played type younger
It's played to pretty much all audiences -- the younger as well as the older audience, male and female. You have to (play broadly) to get these type of numbers.
counter date excellent extensive family good kicked liked mouth people program screening seems terrific word
It kicked some 'Daddy'-butt! ... Word of mouth has been really good. It seems to have been a very good date to go on this picture, wedged between these monsters. It's terrific counter programming. We had an extensive screening program and people liked the picture. It's excellent family fare.

It doesn't get much better than having a Jim Carrey movie for the holidays.
easiest people possibly
It's probably one of those things where people feel they know the story so well, and to try to get them to come see it again, possibly in a new way, is not the easiest task, ... Oliver Twist.
action knew wish
I wish I knew what was happening, but action just isn't selling. But it ebbs and flows. I don't think action is dead.

The amazing immersive quality of IMAX 3-D will give moviegoers an opportunity to experience the first full-length animated motion picture from Sony Pictures Animation in a very special way. This is a format that has proven especially successful with family features, and the Imax theatre network helps generate incremental revenue for event titles such as Open Season. We are pleased to be an important part of Imax's 2006 lineup.

But these things tend to be cyclical. I'm sure action is going to make a comeback.

Having a Jim Carrey film over the holidays is a pretty sure bet. Audiences trust he'll have the goods, and they want to laugh and have a good time this time of year.
