  • ANONYMOUS - Addition of extra movie requested on Dorothy Malone MoviesI am currently doing an analysis of Dorothy’s career and this page has been most useful to me in my efforts. Her career at the top was sadly brief; but she was in many movies outside her peak years that were reasonably-popular, but with some of which not everybody would immediately associate her – Martin and Lewis’ 1953 Scared Stiff for example (I myself had forgotten she was in that one, Lizabeth Scott and Carmen Miranda being the top-billed females)! Within that context this is a very comprehensive page that has done well to round up 36 of Dorothy’s films...
  • Mike HoF 2020 on ForumsHi Mr. Cogerson, How are you these days? Hope all is well. I am fine. I have completed the 1950s thru 1960s variety releases on Reissues and movie releases box office data. I am currently working on the 1940s variety box office data. i am in the year 1948 currently what a mess reissues out pace releases. Very few A movies are being made and it seems that the new thought is a A/B combo movie is the new concept due to all the problems that they were in. Interesting trivia is that there were 18,500 movie studios in place....
  • Lyle on Site IndexHello Bruce. I was wondering if you could do a page or book on the actual theatrical film rentals if that were possible? There are many films I don't have the actual rental figures. For instance I've always wanted to know the rental figures for such as The Trouble with Harry (1955), Major Dundee (1965) and Viva Max (1969), to name just a few. By the way I recently read an article titled "Some Revisions" from Variety that states the actual domestic rentals for The Comancheros (1961) were $3,500,000 which would make it's actually box office gross in the range...
  • Rick Saphire on Jerry Lewis MoviesI met Jerry for the first time in 1953. I was Jerry Lewis' protege throughout the 1960s and appeared as his guest on The Tonight Show in 1962 B.C. (Before Carson), I was Jerry's Personal Manager during the ladder part of his career. I am currently Personal Manager to Jerry's son Gary Lewis of Gary Lewis & the Playboys. I am writing a book titled The REAL Jerry Lewis Story due out in mid 2024. On this page listed as #1 in Interesting Facts, there are at least 4 errors.

  • Frank Berumen on 2023 Movies – Includes All Oscar WinsLilly Gladstone was robbed ! She was only the second indigenous woman to be nominated for Best Actress in more than one-hundred years. Contrary to the media, the first was Mexican indigenous actress Yalitza Aparicio for Roma in 2018. Some people still believe that America is one country instead of a continent. Indigenous representation in film and television continues to be miniscule. Killers of the Yellow Moon is the first film since Dances with Wolves in 1990 to bring significant focus on the indigenous experience. In addition, Latinos, who make up more than 20% of the nation's population is almost...

  • Lyle on 1965 Top Box Office MoviesHello Bruce. I've always want to know what the domestic rentals were for MAJOR DUNDEE. At the American Film Institute it says that Variety reported in January 1966 The domestic rentals were $1,600,000 and international rentals were nearly $3,500,000. Your page shows a box office gross of $5.5m. So can you tell me what the actual domestic rentals were. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.

  • Anonymous on Hedy Lamarr MoviesH.M.Pullman was also a really good Hedy Lamarr movie
  • Lyle on 1961 Top Box Office MoviesHello Bruce. I read an article from Variety titled Some Revisions, Jan 8. 1964, page 71, which said that THE COMANCHEROS made $3,500,000 in Domestic rentals. This would make it's gross $10,010,000 I believe.
  • Cogerson on Tony Ganios MoviesI first noticed him in The Wanderers. He became known to me as "Meat" after the first two Porky's. Turns out I had seen 90% of his movies. The only one I have not seen is Body Parts. I never knew his name until seeing he had passed away. Rest in Peace Mr. Tony Ganios
  • Cogerson on Denis Villeneuve MoviesI was reading a review on Dune Part 2 when I realized we did not have a page on Denis Villeneuve. As I was checking out his IMDb page, I realized for the first time, despite seeing three of his movies in theaters, that he directed the awesome 2010 movie Incendies. That movie made my Top 10 list that year. I actually recommend it more than the box office hits he has had since become known for. Incendies is a wonderful mystery story with a memorable twist. Still shocked I had not connected those dots....I guess the brain is getting...

  • Cogerson on Jason Schwartzman MoviesHey Dan. Thanks for the lists. Mr. Jason has been a very busy actor. He is making his very famous family very proud. He is the son of Talia Shire. The nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. The cousin of Nicolas Cage and Sofia Coppola. His most frequent co-stars are all from the Wes Anderson movie family. I loved him in Rushmore, the rest of the Anderson movies have been hit and miss. Though I did enjoy Moonrise Kingdom. Good stuff as always.

  1. Hi Mr. Cogerson,

    How are you these days? Hope all is well.
    I am fine.
    I have completed the 1950s thru 1960s variety releases on Reissues and movie releases box office data.
    I am currently working on the 1940s variety box office data.
    i am in the year 1948 currently what a mess reissues out pace releases.
    Very few A movies are being made and it seems that the new thought is a A/B combo movie is the new concept due to all the problems that they were in.
    Interesting trivia is that there were 18,500 movie studios in place. Not all were used for movies though because they were not air conditioned, close needed updating etc.
    200 drive in were in place and more to come.
    A movie that grossed 1 million dollars was equivalent to about $ 300,000 dollars in box office rentals value.
    They have a system they used to estimate box office rentals. I understand it know.
    There was a number they used to get this data.
