some random BO stats I find interesting....
in 1993, Jurassic Park was the #3 film (dom) of all time, now its #28.
in 1994, Forest Gump was the #4 film (dom) of all time, now its #55.
in just 10 years, TDK went from #2 all time to #8 (dom).
in just 14 years, Shrek 2 went from #4 all time to #16 (dom).
in 16 years Spiideman went from #6 all time to #26 (dom).
Star Wars has 5 of the top 13 films (dom).
Disney now has 7 of the top 11 films (dom). Not one other studio has more than one film in the top 11. All 7 of those Disney films have came out in the last 6 years!! talk about a seismic shift.
before 2008, a $500M (dom) film had only been achieved once (Titanic ‘97). it took 11 years to happen again (TDK ‘08). There are now 10 films over $500M.... 9 in the last decade. Titanic held the #1 (dom) for 12 years (Avatar ‘09), then the #2 spot for another 6 years (TFA ‘15) and will lose the #3 to Black Panther today.
these stats are all without adjusting for inflation, but nonetheless, terribly interesting to a person like myself.

There are 3 Americans today for every 2 in 1980. Also, Delta House measures movies by return on investment {nm} Apr 07, 07:16
when I saw Star Wars in 1978 it cost 78 cents to see it {nm} Apr 07, 09:19
yep. that's why when you adjust for inflation it is the 2nd biggest film of all time... Apr 07, 10:42
it’s great, but you’re absolutely right. {nm} Apr 07, 13:36

It would be interesting to know how the average blockbuster budget has increased since 1980. Apr 07, 09:25
yes, wish budgets for films were made as readily available as box office gross. {nm} Apr 07, 10:43
One for you, Lobo, TGSOE is #3 all time among movies never to chart higher than third place on any weekend. Apr 07, 16:23

Demographics and Theatre attendance Apr 08, 00:05
good stuff! {nm} Apr 08, 07:43
Tickets by me range $23 to $7.... I wish they only cost $10. The $7 is half price Tuesday. {nm} Apr 08, 10:44
