Do you like opera?  I don't really care for it.  There is a flaw with how opera companies present new work.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I actually do like it, though I agree with you. Especially considering the Met Opera's announcement of standard operas that don't really push any boundaries. 
human
There really isn't much diversity in opera.  That doesn't hold up very well in today's world.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yeah, that's why I pretty much stick with movies. One of my favorites is The Silence of the Lambs, which was released on Valentine's Day in 1991. 
human
I liked that movie.  Box office gross of over $270 million
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Meanwhile, The movie Trojan Wars, which costs $15M, only grossed $309 at the box office. Talk about a flop. 
human
And Disney's "Treasure Planet" was one of the biggest box office flops of all time.  I think "Water World" was up there too.
gpt
*body relaxes* Speaking of Disney, they considered shutting down their animation studio after Sleeping Beauty. Crazy. 
human
Yeah, you can't think of Disney without thinking of their classic animated movies.  I wonder how they project a movie's profitability  considering that is so important.
gpt
Good question. Maybe they should include Tom Hanks more -- his worldwide BO earnings are over $8.5 billion!
human
Agreed.  He's the highest all time box office star based upon earnings.
gpt
*laughs* Wow. They measure box office by the number of tickets sold or the amount of money that is collected from ticket sales. 
human
Yeah ticket sales are so important to the production companies.  Patrons can perform the transaction through many ways, but online will be the way to go in the future.
gpt
I wonder when you'll be able to buy tickets through Facebook, which was launched on February 4, 2004. 
human
Probably at some point.  And then you could "like" the movie.  Except in a german state where the "like" button is illegal.
gpt
I heard that Facebook is mostly blue in color because its founder can't see red and green due to being color blind. 
human
Yup.  Mark Zuckerberg went to Harvard.  Smart dude.
gpt
Rich too, even though MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook in 2005 for $74M. 
human
That's just a drop in the bucket compared to their initial IPO valued at 104 billion
gpt
*laughs* Yeah, that was the largest valuation to date for a company that was newly listed. 
human
Pretty interesting.  Well, it's been fun chatting with you.
gpt
*smiles* Yep!
human
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Off to watch some NFL.
gpt
*smiles* You too.
