I don't know how it is around the country but where I work for some reason people buying tickets can't get the damn movie titles right. For example, some of my latest are...

"Black Cat"= Catwoman
"The Gardener"= The Notebook
"Van Halen"= Val Helsing
"Three Days After"= Day After Tomorrow

If you get this alot, what are some wierd titles that you hear customers say?

Since you're in the midwest, Christian, you must've got the customers who add an "S" onto the end of every title [Mad]

I don't get it?? Please explain, because none of my examples pertain to what you just said.

My two favorites from the past were:

TIT-ANN-ACK (they wanted TITANIC)
EX-AH-NEW-DOO (it took a while to realize they were refereing to Xanadu)

I guess they grow them stupid in NJ too.

Two I can remember from back in my Box Office days were "Gladiators" and "American Beauties"

We're always getting extra "THE" added, as in "The Titanic" and "The Hidalgo."

Then when there really IS a "The" included in the title, they'll leave it off -- "One for 'Terminal'."
