[okr]

I love Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Dune, but one of my favorite Lynch movies is his most unusal one, which is rarely mentioned in discussions about him: The Straight Story.

Regarding US box office debuts, here you can compare Watchmen's $55 mio. to other 50+ weekend debuts: http://www.boxofficeguru.com/open50+.htm
