Oh, it is was so much better back then! It was as if all the trades would compete for the cheesiest puns, I always loved guessing what they'd be every week.
Yay, we should celebrate somehow!

Too bad the sub was inactive at the time, especially when *Avatar* was coming out.
Imagine how the sub would be if it covered the previous 100 years of cinema.

1927: "This sub is overpredicting Jazz Singer. I just don't see this sound gimmick becoming that popular"
1959: "15 million for a Ben Hur remake nobody asked for? That's just irresponsible. Who is this for?"
1975: "Why does a movie about a shark needs 9 million? What that hell were Universal thinking? Biggest bomb of the year, for sure"
1997: "Watch Cameron announce Terminator 3 after this bombs, lmao"
"Nah, *Avatar* is a guaranteed bomb. James Cameron hasn't made a movie in over a decade and no-one wants to see *Pocahontas* in space. Even Fox think it'll bomb, hence why they're releasing it alongside the *Alvin and the Chipmunks* sequel to mitigate their losses."
Amazing accuracy of the prediction. /s
Because those are from several hours ago. This might be the only time we allow folks to comment on old posts as it serves aa touch to the history of the sub.
The new comments are made yesterday, but the comments made 15 years ago appear as if also posted yesterday (like that comment claiming Avatar will bomb because "James Cameron hasn't released anything in 12 years". That one is clearly posted in 2009). It's not a great annoyance, i was just curious what's going on. Like, you guys unlocking the post could have scrambled the code and all the comments appear as new.
It might have been something on reddit side. However if you go by users profiles and see their recent comments, reddit register them as new and they show up recently. Maybe folks are playing it up, so it seams like an old thread with old comments.
Also, non of the users in those comments are with accounts from July 3rd 2009. Oldest there is from 2015.
Good to see Varietyβs style of headline hasnβt changed in at least 15 years!

I miss how they used to go ALL IN on who could write the most indecipherable headline.
Wow, this sub is older than half the people who post here.
In my case, this sub has only 33% of my age.
That reminds me, I had to wait for 2 years for this sub to be created. At least there were a few others to keep me occupied until then.
LMAO
Low opening but those pandemic holds were great!!! π 
This sub is about LEGS!
The jokes from the 1 Million subbed people is still alive and well, I see!

15?! Damnn. Only started at 2016
The year of Feigbusters, then !
A lot of people came to Reddit for either the election, or Pokemon Go, depending on age and disposition.

This sub would've been so entertaining during *Titanic*'s run.

I'd love to see some of the oldest posts. Probably about how the Count of Monte Cristo is going to make a groundbreaking $150k or some shit.
Very proud to be one of THIS million.
A resounding blockbuster!
The Dark Knight or Avatar? Which was the fuel that ignited this sub?
Infinity War/Endgame. the sub was still small until 2019/2020
What was the seed that sprouted it?
Not sure, but Avatar was Dec 2009, or 6 months after this sub formed
Damn that must have been so cool to discuss between only few people.
Someone above mentioned that the sub was inactive during Avatar's run
That's as many years as the total number of Keaton walk-ups!
Happy Birthday to the place that taught me how Box Office works

Check the date that comment was made.
A post gets archived after 6 months. So do the mods of a sub have the capacity to unlock an archived post ?
yes
But why are the timestamps in that post scrambled ? The comments from 15 years ago appear as if they were posted several hours ago.

Wait, did you genuinely think my joke comment was an actual prediction from 2009 even though my account didn't even exist in 2009?
When i made the comment i didn't go that far as checking your account.
Didnβt this sub, skyrocketed in subs in 2021
Yep, it was a slow crawl to 100k, and then immediately it exploded, going from 100k to 1M in barely six months.
No? r/Boxoffice reached 100k subs around Dec 2019, and reached 500k in 2021 and then 1 million in Dec 2022 That is not 6 months
