As opposed to what time period?
Generally, elaborate titles like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" don't equal box office gold.

A buddy & I used to have a running joke that if a movie had more than two words in the title, it was likely a chick flick.

It's usually the horror flicks that have the more exciting titles:
Play Misty for Me
The Last House on the Left
I Spit on Your Grave

Compare that to He Knows You're Alone, Don't Go in the House, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead. The Hills Have Eyes. Night Train Murders. Any of the Italian gialli. Now I'm not saying all these movies are better (some are absolute shit), but at least they came up with good TITLES!

Frozen is still #2 in the country yet it seems more difficult each week to find showings. I am guessing what showings they have must get a good sized crowd.
