“box office flop” so good luck finding ticket sales figures
that said
another highly rated film directed by Inmar Gergman
The Living Desert might be the title to Living Desert. Perhaps a bit of a grey area…
Bruce;
Can you find any information on THE MAZE, Allied Artists 3-D movie with Richard Carlson that was released in July 1953
Hey Nick. Hmmm…..this what I have for The Maze. According to Variety it was the number 10 movie of the week for Week Ending 7/1, 7/8 and 7/15. That would put it’s actual gross at about $225,000 for those “big cities”. I have done some research on how much the “big city” total translated to “all cities”. In our estimation that would put The Maze with a rough estimate of $1,125,000. Which would translate to about $18 million in 2021 dollars. Obviously this not the greatest of sources…..but I think it might be close. Good to hear from you.
Hi Mr. Cogerson,
Here are a 2 of typo errors and 2 additional movies to add to the year 1953.
typo error
Sanagree, rank 89, B.O.82.8
should be-Sangaree
typo error
King of the Khyler Rifles, rank 54, B.O.119.6
should be-King of the Khyber Rifles
2 additions-
1953 Code Two, B.O.-$711,000 wikipedia-source:The Eddie Mannix Ledger
1953 Cry of the Hunted, B.O.$625,000 wikipedia-source:The Eddie Mannix Ledger
Thx
Mike
Hey Mike…..fixed the two spelling errors and added in the two movies. The spelling error change can be seen now….the two new movies….will require a compete website update….that is scheduled in a few hours…so by tomorrow you will find the two movies in about 139th (Cry of the Hunted) and 171st (Code Two)…the reported numbers are the total….so the domestic grosses are about what Wiki has posted. Good catch and thanks for the two new movies.
Finally I found some movies to list.
Thx
146 “East of Sumtra” (1953)
should be
146 “East of Sumatra” (1953)
Hey Sidney J. Fixed and a thank you.
