        Bring on the Night, 1985 -- nm - Max Jul 5, 11:25 5
        
        That did not even crack the top 10 BO on release and was gone by week 3. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 11:31 4

      - Sure but there has been one a year on average since MC with the Jonas Brothers, Bieber and Glee. - David Jul 5, 11:19 6
        
        interesting - your data is sound. So 1 or 2 a year is viable. hmmm. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 5, 11:25
        
        Hanson did one in 1998. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 11:20 4
        
        You must be thinking of Slap Shot, which is not a biography. -- nm - David Jul 5, 11:21 3
        
        yes, that's it. Also: Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 11:22 2
        
        I think we're getting away from the points, which are A) nobody cares about Hanson and B) since Miley Cyrus, concert movies have become box office-y. -- nm - David Jul 5, 11:24 1

  - Justin Bieber's was a huge hit. -- nm - Andie Jul 5, 11:14 4
    - I'm not sure why, but even Miley and Bieber did not seem to be marketed like this - and in summer? I'm scared of the future. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 5, 11:16 3
      - they weren't marketed to *us*. we're old. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 11:21 1

    - language, or other stuff? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 5, 11:08 4
      - Language, drug references. There's a song where the dancers basically dance with giant dicks. -- nm - pmb Jul 5, 11:25 2
