Box Office One-Offs - Neatorama

The Lunchtime Quiz today at mental_floss is a little different from the multiple-choice quizzes we are used to. Can you name the ten top grossing movies that did NOT have a theatrical-release prequel, sequel, or were part of a series? You have five minutes, once you get started. I could only think of two, and I gave up before the time ran out. At least I knew the biggest one! http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/14178

WOW that was REALLY hard! At least I got 2.

Some of those I would have never guessed to be on the list at all. Namely the animated ones. I think everyone gets at least the same two

I was pretty happy about getting three. There were two or three others that I was pretty close to having (I was going through a mental list of Pixar movies when I ran out of time).

I got a few, but they listed Lion King as one of them, and that has had sequels, two in fact. Lion King II Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1½. I think they were both straight to video though.

I got 5!!! Remembering your post from February 28th about movie box office receipts (remember that one???) was the only reason why I did as well as I did...

I got tripped up on The Lion King....but then, the quiz DID say, "These Movies have not had theatrical releases"... since the rest of The Lion King trilogy were direct to video...

They will have to take Transformers off soon. They are making a sequel. Next year, I think.
