Top Ten Films of 2006
I just want to start off by saying the to three highest grossing films in this year were
number 3 - Ice Age: The Meltdown
I get this is a beloved kids franchise (is it beloved?) but that is so much money. Over 660 million worldwide. WHEW
number 2 - The Da Vinci Code
HAHAHAHA remember when everyone was obsessed with this bad franchise? Although, I haven’t seen it in so long, and didn’t see the sequels. Maybe I would like it more now? Maybe the pandemic is just missing me getting super into those Dan Brown religious mystery books. Okay. I’ll do that. Bye forever.
number 1 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
over 1 billion here, folks. Just domination by this franchise. Johnny Depp will be forever remembered for this and not for his girlfriend, actress Amber Heard, allegedly beat him up and threw feces all over his walls after having sex with Elon Musk.
2006 is also known for Disney buying Pixar
demoting Pluto from being a planet, like real jerks
