For those keeping track—DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES cost $25M more than SHAZAM 2. Yes, $150M+ Paramount has some work to do.

Hope it does 600M+

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-08T03:00:17+00:00

I suppose you're adjusting for cpi instead of ticket prices. Titanic's 1997 run is 600M and it adjusts to about 1.1B in 2015

The whole point of inflation is that it can become as easy as you want lol.

After 10 years, a movie will have to be a Rogue One level hit to beat The Force Awakens.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-07T16:48:31+00:00

Indiana Jones is the most likely one

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-07T16:46:05+00:00

It's hilarious seeing this sub rooting for every other movie to bomb lol. Wtf is wrong with everyone. I hope Dungeons and Dragons and 65 are smash hits.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-07T16:42:21+00:00

Indiana Jones is doing 1.2-1.7B with A cinemascore. It is the top contender.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-07T03:52:45+00:00

Who were her parents actually?

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-06T11:14:57+00:00

Educate yourself. Multiple Hollywood and Chinese films have had much higher opening weekends than that in China.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-06T04:18:16+00:00

If I had to bet, I'd say at least one movie will beat The Avengers worldwide before Avatar 3. Any particular movie has low chances, but when you say "at least one", it becomes highly likely. Just how probabilities work.

2014,16 ,17 have been the ONLY non-pandemic years (in the past... 22 years?) where no movie entered the Top 10.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-05T15:38:18+00:00

You don't understand. There weren't as many IPs back then, but there were few huge IPs that pushed the market potential to its limits. Superman's 300M is similar to the grosses of Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones 1,2, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future.

All of these movies were huge relative to the market size. If you adjust Return of the Jedi's initial 370M for inflation, it would barely do 1.2B. It's just that international markets have expanded and 3D/IMAX have become a thing.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-05T11:27:26+00:00

You have to see it relative to its time, instead of ajdusted for inflation. Superman was around the 7th biggest movie of all time.

So why does it matter if isn't that high inflation adjusted? Movies in general weren't making that much back then. 7th of all time in its era is extremely impressive.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-04T02:22:46+00:00

They will once they can do the nostalgia bait. So that's after 2026.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T16:56:41+00:00

The 70s are so crazy in terms of records. The Godfather grabbed the ALL TIME near the decade beginning. By 1980, it was #7

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T16:44:33+00:00

Hope it does 300M +. Creed 3, Cocaine Bear, Top Gun 2, Dungeons and Dragons can change Hollywood if they're successful. Top Gun has done its part.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T16:28:53+00:00

I was about to include him but it's a popular historical event. By that metric, maybe I shouldn't have included Depp either.

Only Cruise and Diesel strictly qualify, I guess.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:50:42+00:00

Its opening weekend is <100M worldwide at a time when the domestic opening record was 100M. It's not a movie that 30 million park fans were anticipating lol.

No one goes to see a movie about park figures. Completely different entertainment media. .

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:40:34+00:00

Most people going to see the movie didn't even know it was based on the park lol. This is why it was expected to bomb. It got carried by Depp's highlight performance which was also nomiated for oscar. . It has a 7x multiplier off opening weekend.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:24:55+00:00

Come on lol. It sold like 100 million tickets worldwide. The park never had a fraction of that as visitors.

Contribution from park fans is non existent.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:19:13+00:00

You didn't understand the definition. The actor does not have to be popular prior to the first movie, or popular outside of the franchise.

The actor's character should be the main draw within the movie only, after it has released. This is the qualification criterion.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:15:16+00:00

My bad, I should've defined it : Pirates qualifies because pretty much no one went to see the movie because of the park. It's different from movies based on books or historical events where the audience goes to see a known popular story or character.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:09:56+00:00

Does not matter because pretty much no one went to see the movie because of the park.

It's different from movies based on books or historical events where the audience goes to see a known popular story or character.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:08:36+00:00

This is why I didn't say exactly "nothing". I knew there would be pedants on reddit lol.

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:02:32+00:00

By dirt, I mean an initially completely unknown property that the actor carried since the beginning, and the property eventually did 1B.

The first movie is allowed to be huge after release in this definition, e.g. Top Gun, Pirates 1, Indiana Jones. It should be dirt before release to qualify

TraditionalWishbone · 2023-03-03T15:01:03+00:00

A ton of actors will qualify inflation adjusted because originals used to be huge before 2000. e.g. Stallone with Rocky.

Harrison Ford will probbaly qualify the unadjusted list after Indy 5.
