Xach has published an interactive chart of the 2008 US Box Office returns. Each stripe is a movie, with the width of the stripe representing the money coming in each week. Stripes are ordered each week (The columns) by top-grossing, and you can see them all make huge returns on opening weekend and slowly trickling off.
