Dark Knight is No Beverly Hills Cop

The best movie of all time is Beverly Hill Cop with Eddie Murphy. The first one. It doesn't get that much respect in terms of the annals of cinema, but critics did like it at the time. It holds up too, even watching all these years later in 2008. So I was happy to see this chart on BoxOfficeMojo, which offers the all-time box-office standings inflation-adjusted. With all the talk about how The Dark Knight is closing in on Titanic, for kind of the domestic box, it's worth throwing some cold water. In fact, TDK is 39th all time. And look who it's behind.

You could also argue that the Beverly Hills Cop figure should be inflation adjusted... thus it probably blows away Dark Knight if adjusted to 2008 dollars.

Oops, my apologies, it has been inflation adjusted. I found Dark Knight quite good, but was surprised by its performance. Then again, while Beverly Hills Cop is a great movie, I think if you weren't told if its success beforehand then most people, even after seeing it, would be unlikely to place it in the top 10% percentile of all movies. I guess there is a lot to film success than just the movie itself, but I'll stop here since I'm treading into territory I know little about!

The number on the left for Beverly Hills Cop is inflation adjusted to 2008 dollars. Unless I'm missing your point.

Whoops, didn't see your second comment.

You need to get to the subway either at Highland, or Vermont or Wilshire and Western. There should be buses going down Wilshire, Santa Monica. Mobile Mark will have to tell you the numbers and the streets they go West to East on..

They're making it, but I don't know who'll be in it. Without Murphy, Judge Reinhold and John Ashton, it won't stand a chance.

The fact of the matter is that a lot of stars are moving to Malibu, north of Los Angeles. A lot of lawyers, plastic surgeons, and corporate executives live in BH.

Your best approach would be to contact an attorney from your city and state who can provide better information concerning this issue.

If your phone allows you to record media/voice record, record the song. (if you have it) Then go to settings and see if you can select it as your ringtone. If that does not work, see if your phone has a downloading ringers option.

I think it's still under script stages though with Brett Ratner set to direct. Totally agree with you though, if it stays on the same level as the first 2 movies then it will be great.

Found your blog by accident for the second time today so I thought I'd take a closer look. I have just started making my own blog and modeling it after what you have done. I hope mine will be as successful as yours.

He said there are several thousand foreign companies operating in China run enterprises, more and more Chinese enterprises to go abroad out of business. With the development of economic globalization, multinational commercial bribery is a common challenge.

Yes, it should be sealed on both end caps. NO NO NO, it should never be stored in any part of your house. Keeping a lawn mower inside the house is a 'maybe' but make sure the gas tank is empty.
