Mama Mia highest grossing film ever...in the UK

"Mamma Mia!" has sunk "Titanic" at the U.K. box office.

The ABBA-themed musical replaced the maritime romance as the highest-grossing movie ever released in the U.K. after selling 69.1 million pounds ($105.8 million) worth of tickets, Universal Pictures International said Tuesday. "Titanic," by contrast, finished up with 69 million pounds in 1998.

"Titanic" remains the biggest film ever released worldwide, with sales of $1.8 billion. "Mamma Mia" earned about $572 million, with Japan the only major market remaining. All figures are unadjusted for inflation.
Buh wha?! :o

The irony being is that all the reviews I saw of the movie were negative.

And to think... The Producers with as much of the original cast, a well written musical with original music, only opened in like, five theaters nationwide for a week.

Shouldn't this be in the Movies section?

I wonder why people are so disgusted with that, really.

Cos everyone knows ABBA songs, duh.

I bet lots of middle-aged and older people, who normally don't go to cinema, went to see that movie, to have fun and listen to the music of their youth.

Abba are a European band...Swedish to be exact. They love that crap over there and of course it's influenced our pop scene quite a bit too.

People like you is what's wrong. You pass judgment on a movie you haven't even SEEN.

i know. but it looks dumb.;):P

Cure 12-17-2008 05:05 PM

So you have no say in the matter. Your opinion is invalid.

My mom had me watching it last night since she's in town for the holidays and was going on about how we never spend time together. The music is pretty good, certainly very catchy, though I dunno so much about the rest of the movie, generally speaking. I've seen other musicals that I feel translated into the context of a movie way better than this.
