Summer 09 Movie Recap
Now that the summer movie season is over - because I say so - it's time to recap. USA Today reports that the season started out with a bang but withered at the end. Overall Hollywood brought in just a little more this year than last, but adjusting for ticket prices the attendance was actually down 2%.
What is really significant about this summer is the emergence of RunPee.com - hey, it's significant to me! So what was the most popular movie viewed here at RunPee.com this summer? First let me give you some clues: RunPee is sort of attractive to the geek crowd because a lot of technically oriented websites like Mashable, Engadget, Gizmodo, etc, reported on it. Especially early on in the summer - another hint.
Turns out that **Star Trek was hugely popular - big surprise**. It also came out right before RunPee had its initial huge traffic spike - server crash #1-of-5.
Here's the breakdown from RunPee: ( Movie - visits )
- Star Trek - 103,518
- Terminator Salvation - 69,263
- Angels and Demons - 65,263
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine - 54,641
- Harry Potter - 29,748
- The Hangover - 23,871
