I have seen the phrase "the #1 movie in America" on a lot of movies.  For some reason, it feels like they regret it every time they make a new movie and say that it is the "#1 movie in America" when you already said that from an old movie.  There cannot be more than one #1 movies.  Have you noticed that in commercials when they say this phrase?

I don't notice anything any commercial says about movies.

I see the footage from the movie and then decide to watch it.

I wait before I hear accolades. Everything is overhyped, so it's not worth listening to.

Guess my brain just filters it out, huh?

I'm sure when they say "the #1 movie in America" they either mean the movie that the most people actually went out to see out of all other films released at that time, or most anticipated out of them. Either way, I'm not usually satisfied.

I agree with vizwiz. What they mean is that while it was in theaters, it was at one point the most watched movie at that specific point in time. So they technically, there can be multiple #1 movies in America at various points in time. But there can only be one #1 movie of the year when December comes rolling around. What bugs me is when numerous movies that are released at around the same time try to claim they are the most anticipated movie. You can't really have a reliable pool to make such a claim accurately.

I really don't see how or why they call some of these movies the #1 movie in America. I guess a lot of people in America has their own opinions...

Every time I see a comercial advertising the" number 1 movie in america" I just laugh because I know the movie is going to suck and sixty percent of the time I'm right.

Basically what SamB said.
And like Vizwiz said, I'm pretty sure it justmeans the most anticipated, rather than ZOMG ERRYWUN LUVS IT. Doesn't get me to go see it, though. Honestly, seeing trailers say that makes me want to see the movie even less, Nya~.

The phrase #1 movie in America just means that it is the "top grossing" movie at that time, which basically means nothing. They can also screw it other ways like it was the highest rated, but it was only rated by critics that you have never heard of. It's really stupid. Just like someone can say "Best burger in (Blank)" I mean there is no way to qualify that.

Yeah I agree with Mega, especially on that last little bit there. I don't really go based off of that "Title" I guess you would call it. If it was a Sequel to a movie that I both saw and enjoyed in the past than I'm all for it regardless of other's opinions. If it is new and something I'm not sure about seeing, I usually go to rotten tomatoes and see what other people have to say about it.

So many movie commercials will say "#1 Movie" that I tend to ignore them. Seriously, every single movie has that phrase now. It kind means nothing at this point. If I want to see a movie, I'll tell from its footage.

Usually the "#1 Movie in America" goes to the movie that made the most money in the box office. That's why it changes so much. For instance, with all of the crazy Twilight fanatics, Breaking Dawn Part 2 may get the title "#1 Movie in America" when we all know those movies are awful. The title isn't given to the best movie. It's usually given to the movie that makes the most money.

I hate it when a movie commercial comes on the T.V and it says
" # 1 movie in America " and I'm like " No sh** !!! " every time I hear
that. It sometimes pisses me off ( only if that same exact movie is spamed
during 3 commercial breaks in a row) . Very , very annoying. The only recent movie
that I believe that got # 1 movie in America of this year is " The Avengers ."

I can't remember where I heard this, but I heard that a lot of those "movie review's" used in the previews are drastically changed from what was actually said just to promote the movie so people will watch it. I know I've seen movies that were claimed to be the greatest and ended up being completely disappointed. I usually end up liking movies that weren't promoted as much, more so than the one that were overly hyped.

Some people say Twilight and some people say Harry Potter. In my opinion: Napoleon Dynamite!
Everyone has a different opinion, and hey, if they didn't, life would be SO boring!

japanman : Yeah you actually make a good point, I think it just depends on the person themselves. Some people will think a movie is the best of the year and others will disagree. I guess it just depends on what you personally like.

I'm pretty sure the statement refers to that of the movies current box office position. How much money its raking in and how many people have seen it.
