The things you're searching for.	April 24, 2000

One to Watch: Gladiator
We think we've spotted the first hit of the summer movie season, judging by user searches. And the movie is:
GLADIATOR
Sure, you say, that's only because the previews are showing now. But dig this: user searches for "Gladiator" have increased tenfold since January -- gradually at first, and then suddenly doubling last week. People are getting worked up about this movie. (And if you can't get worked up about Russell Crowe slugging it out against baddies in the Colisseum, you're just not summer movie material.)
We still have three weeks to go before the film's May 5 debut, but last week Gladiator got as many searches as perennial Web favorite Hello Kitty. Gladiator vs. Hello Kitty -- now there's a matchup people might pay to see.
