Scalzi: Final Thoughts on 2011 Movies, Scifi and Otherwise
http://www.filmcritic.com/features/2011/12/final-thoughts-on-2011-scifi-movies/
"To begin: 2011 will not go down in history as a
particularly stellar year for the film industry. The
total gross of the domestic market will click in at
about $10 billion, which is below last year, meaning
that the number of tickets sold (accounting for the
small bit of inflation from last year's ticket
prices) is significantly down -- around 5%. This
despite the fact that about 50 more movies made it
to theaters this year. It's also the first year
since 2007 that no film cracked the $400 million box
office barrier; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
Part 2 came close at $381 million (which, you know,
is still good), but it's indicative of a year where
no monster movie like The Dark Knight or Avatar has
captured the public and offered a financial or
psychological "halo effect" to the general box office. "

The only film from 2001 that I'd watch more than one was Captain
America.
