Movies

There are some that question the inflation-adjusted number based on the number of re-releases and how they all fit together.

Posted by: Jelly on Jan 16, 07:41 in response to sneak's post when I look at inflation adjusted numbers I can't fathom...

I remember reading somewhere about someone researching all of it for a while, but never finding any concrete evidence one way or the other. I think that chart is great for comparisons for 99% of movies. Too bad we don't have a chart solely for ticket sales - a chart that isn't based off of estimates from box office figures.

Nikki: Eli with $12M Fri., Avatar $10.5M, Bones with $6.2M islander Jan 16, 06:17

Avatar will still win the weekend, probably with $44-45 million. {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:30

50+ easily. The im's for family films past MLK wknds have been redunkulous (5.9 for Kangaroo Jack, 5.2 for nmus) {nm} islander Jan 16, 06:34

I don't think Avatar has been doing normal family film internal mults in past weeks so probably more like 4.5 for the weekend {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:35

Its all good. Everyhting it makes now is just extremley yummy gravy on that Hoilday warrant islander Jan 16, 06:38

So it will most likely beat tiatnic for biggest 5th weekend, beat the bat for fastest to 500mm, if next weekend holds up sneak Jan 16, 06:38

The crazy thing is that it not only will beat the Bat for fastest to 500 mil... but it's only the third movie to hit that amount domestic {nm} secretstalker Jan 16, 06:39

when I look at inflation adjusted numbers I can't fathom gone with the wind; wonder how ticket prices compared sneak Jan 16, 06:52

You cannot compare Gone With The Wind to a modern movie grengrad Jan 16, 08:05

Also, Gone With the Wind was re-released at least half a dozen times over the years. {nm} Salieri Jan 16, 08:55

Exactly.. just like comparing Avatar to Titanic isn't fair... secretstalker Jan 16, 10:56

True there are more options now, but ticket Prices during GWTW were like 25 cents, you can't deny the staying that movie.. {nm} JRAVENTERPRISE Jan 16, 12:50

If AVATR has the same increase as last saturday and same decrease as last sunday (see inside) tonyj1 Jan 16, 07:06
