So far worldwide, eight films released in 2005 grossed more than $400 million, reaching international blockbuster motion picture status.
By the end of June, despite the releases of several long-anticipated big-budget films, the US box-office was entering the 20th week of a slump in which film attendance was lower than the comparable week in
2004 . This was blamed by most analysts on the rise of ticket prices, gasoline prices and
internet piracy.
