Welp, I guess there is no conversation to be had when you use hyperbole like this.

Yeah. I really enjoyed TLJ, but the obvious meme-able moments were a bit much.

Wasn't a cringefest? That's hilarious because I had to put my head down and shake it numerous times because of cringe and cheese.
Wow, even with inflation Avatar, and Titanic is right there with GWTW. While TFA is trailing behind the little alien, and only slightly ahead of the fake ass looking shark. Only two Avatar's needed to knock the sci-fi remake out of the top ten. You ready boys?Saw this floating on twitter. I didn't realize Snow White made so much money.
At least Rock didn't fly through space like Superman or open with a battle about dropping bombs... In space.
"My useless ability to be good in videogames is useful for once!"
Fake ass looking shark?
You know James Cameron himself would likely call you out if you tried to claim Avatar was better than grand daddy of all blockbusters, right?
I think he'd admit at this point that the only good parts of that film are the guy bonding on the boat, and the shark eating Quint.
Jaws looks really rough now compared to the original Star Wars. Although I'll admit, I've only seen the Special Edition, and we all know that looks fantastic.

Jaws looks amazing on blu ray. One of the best transfers I've ever seen
Just because Jumanji is killing it at the US Box Offce I'm gonna see the movie tomorrow.
Is there anyway to have the numbers of viewers/audience at the US BO ? (In France we check the spectators numbers)

Hit em with the multiplier method, K-swiss!
(seriously, I forget exactly how it was supposed to work. Something about the number of films in a year, the average box-office of those films, and the multiplier the film you're trying to gauge of that average?)
Have you seen the movie? You are talking about realism in Jumanji? Where characters die and come back because they are on a video game. Or was it awesome when the hot girl turned into jack black and got a boner when hugging nick Jonas?
This is wildly inaccurate/misleading. Some of those have decades of undocumented runs lumped in from the pre-VHS era (like Snow White - that's 50 years of reissues right there, and Disney reissued their cartoons a LOT), and inflation-adjusting worldwide numbers doesn't even make sense.Saw this floating on twitter. I didn't realize Snow White made so much money.
Ah. Is there an accurate list floating around?
I'd imagine it probably isn't even possible to make an accurate one.
Jumangi with no surprises. Easily the best family movie this holiday season and beyond.
That's the magic....family film, the industry needs more experiences like that.

If the accurate data exists, I'd imagine it's preserved somewhere in Kswis's brain.

So it looks like that list is originating from this site:

Where their information is presented in the most credible format in journalism...

Ionno nobody really wants to take credit for it I guess.
This chart is outright missing some films in the top 25. :/ CMBYN is above Three Billboards, for example.

Just on a surface level, Mojo's domestic inflation number for Titanic is probably pretty accurate (it was released in the 1982-2008 sweet spot, after we had full documentation, and before other factors started to mess things up).
Mojo has the adjusted Titanic domestic Run at $1.2B. Titanic did more than $1.5B overseas before any adjusting (but with the re-release). How does it make logical sense that the adjusted overseas total would only increase by a bit more than 30% ($500M) in 20 years? Especially if the domestic came close to doubling. Hint: It's because those numbers are BS.
Every film is going to have the same issue. Never mind trying to factor in shifting exchange rates.

Because nobody wants their name on a whack ass, inaccurate shit chart like that.

For something like Gone With the Wind or Snow White, the data just doesn't even exist to make an accurate adjustment. Even places like Box Office Mojo don't have accurate adjustment data for domestic numbers going back a couple decades. Adjusting the international haul from an 80 year old movie? Even if that made any sort of sense (it doesn't - with the massive changes in international film industry sizes and currency conversion rates that have occurred, it's already extremely difficult to compare films from across the last decade), there is no way to get those numbers and then accurately convert them for any sort of reliable comparison.
So I did a rough comparison between the 1st and 2nd SW films in each trilogy to see how TLJ stacks up. This is assuming TLJ makes 625M domestic, 675M foreign, 1.3B worldwide.
Domestic drop:
EP1>EP2= 30%
EP4>EP5= 32%
EP7>EP8= 33%
Foreign drop:
EP1>EP2= 39%
EP4>EP5= 22%
EP7>EP8= 39%
Worldwide drop:
EP1>EP2= 35%
EP4>EP5= 29%
EP7>EP8= 35%
Seems like TLJ is about where it's expected to be, overall, from these examples anyway (I have no idea what Disney's actual target was). And that's without considering the incredibly unusual hype it had to follow from TFA (ie continuing the story for the first time in 30ish years, bringing back old cast members, bouncing back from the previous trilogy). EP7 made an ungodly amount of cash.
Domestically, it lines up almost exactly with the other second films.

You can do your homework and still fail if your answers are wrong.
Call Me by Your Name is an SPC release. They tend to not do estimates, so it's not on the list.
BoxOfficePro has it at $90 mil opening weekend, $275 mil overall domestic as of two weeks ago. But a new trailer drops tomorrow so it's probably looking at $100 mil OW.
I want so bad for it to over perform and hit $100 so Hollywood has no choice other to acknowledge it.
