These are few movies which were released in last couple of years. One thing is common in their title and that is usage of number. I think film industry is running out of good and unique movie titles so to make a unique title they are introducing numbers in the title. Alphanumeric titles provide access to bigger pool of titles & thanks to permutation & combination.

But how long will this help? May be few more years...then what’s after that? I think special character & symbol (!@#$%^&_=+) will help to make movie title unique. So how will the title look like ????
