What do these numbers mean? How does a movie with no advance buzz (Step Up) make more money than a movie about the most important global event in the last 5 years (World Trade Center)? I really don't understand. I saw World Trade Center on Friday and I admit, I wasn't excited to see it , but I feel it's my duty to watch these stories. The movie is brutal and often hard to watch but these are real modern-day heroes. Superman grossed 180 million dollars. Why are we more interested in stories about fake heroes than stories about real ones? I'm not complaining, I'm asking. It's a mystery to me.
