Answers:

1.	Please note that none of these questions includes box office inflation unless specifically stated. Now then, let's say you are a Pirate who likes to hang out in the Caribbean. Which of your films has the highest opening weekend box office?
		The Curse of the Black Pearl
		Dead Man's Chest
		At World's End
		On Stranger Tides
		*By way of explanation.....* Dead Man' Chest debuted to $135.6 million, over $20 million better than At World's End.

2.	People love hair, almost to the point of having a fetish. Which of these Hollywood hair films has the lowest domestic box office?
		Barbershop
		Hairspray
		Legally Blonde
		Tangled
		*By way of explanation.....* Every one of these titles earned at least $75.8 million domestically. Legally Blonde is second "lowest" at $96.5 million. Hair movies = money.

3.	HWDYK loves you. We also love the following things, some more than others. Which I Love You film has the largest domestic total?
		I Love You, Beth Cooper
		I Love You to Death
		I Love You, Man
		I Love You Phillip Morris
		*By way of explanation.....* Putting I Love You in the title is usually death. Three of these four titles earned less than $16 million. I Love You, Man beats them all combined.

4.	We can prove which hour of the day is the worst through box office openings. Which of these times is clearly inferior to the others?
		3:10 to Yuma
		Date Night
		Morning Glory
		Twilight
		*By way of explanation.....* Alas, Morning Glory is not the people's choice, earning a paltry $9.2 million, well behind 3:10 to Yuma's $14.0 million. Rachel McAdams should have played a vampire instead.

5.	Some games are better than others. In terms of final box office, which of these is the best?
		Fair Game
		Gamer
		The Game
		The Game Plan
		*By way of explanation.....* The Rock has the best game in town. But we knew this already.

6.	HWDYK likes big butts and we cannot lie. Which of these Moons is the biggest?
		Moon
		Moonraker
		Moonstruck
		The Twilight Saga: New Moon
		*By way of explanation.....* Cosmo says you're fat and if you missed this one, HWDYK is down with that.

7.	Night time is the right time to settle box office scores. Which of these Night movies has the largest domestic total?
		Date Night
		Fright Night
		It Happened One Night
		Night at the Museum

		28 Days Later
		Dawn of the Dead (2004)
		Shaun of the Dead
		Zombieland
		*By way of explanation.....* Believe it or not, Zombieland became the first zombie movie to earn north of $75 million. You don't earn as much money when you eat the customers.

9.	Let's continue the zombie discussion one more time. THE zombie franchise is Resident Evil. Which film from this series has earned the most domestically?
		Resident Evil
		Resident Evil: Apocalypse
		Resident Evil: Extinction
		Resident Evil: Afterlife
		*By way of explanation.....* Afterlife wins by almost $10 million. Those 3D ticket prices help a lot. Of course, a giant zombie with an axe-hammer is also a strong selling point. Who would say no to him?

		Big Night
		Friday Night Lights
		Good Night and Good Luck
		We Own the Night

		28 Days
		28 Days Later
		30 Days of Night

12.	There have been some true blockbusters with Day in the title. Which of these is the champion?
		The Day After Tomorrow
		Independence Day
		Terminator 2: Judgment Day
		Valentine's Day
		*By way of explanation.....* A full 15 years after its release, Independence Day is still the 33rd biggest movie ever with $306.2 million. Their big mistake was not allowing a sequel.

		The Blind Side
		Jerry Maguire
		The Game Plan
		The Waterboy
		*By way of explanation.....* Jerry Maguire earned a whopping $212.2 million while The Waterboy edged it with $214.6 million, but The Blind Side reigns supreme with $256 million.

14.	Most lists involving the best baseball movies focus on these four titles. Which of them had the best box office run?
		Bull Durham

17.	Which Shrek film is the biggest?
		Shrek
		Shrek 2
		Shrek Forever After
		Shrek the Third

		2012
		Cloverfield
		The Day after Tomorrow
