Pass the Popcorn: What Were the Most Watched Movies in Hotel Rooms in January 2013?
Abraham Lincoln or James Bond? That seemed the big question hotel guests pondered when choosing in-room movies last month. (Denzel Washington and Liam Neeson were also deep in the mix.) To find out if Oscar contenders trumped blockbusters for the top spots, read on.
As always, our monthly movie round-up comes courtesy of LodgeNet, suppliers of in-room entertainment to 1.6 million hotel rooms in the U.S and Canada.

Check in again in early March to see how February’s marquee releases — Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, This is 40, Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn 2 and more – played on hotel room small screens (and if they muscled out Mr. Bond.)
Thanks for the reminder that an evening in a hotel is a great way to catch one of the Oscar-nominated movies or performances that we missed — Lincoln, Flight, Life of Pi and so on.
