    Jeet Heer Retweeted Bloomberg

    If you adjust for inflation, neither is close to the highest grossing film of all time, both are behind Gone With the Wind, Star Wars & other films, including 101 Dalmatians. Avatar is #15, Endgame #74.https://twitter.com/business/status/1124669409480589312 …

    A bummer for "Star Wars" fans on May the 4th: "Avengers: Endgame" is projected to eclipse "Avatar" as the highest-grossing film of all time. https://bloom.bg/2VffXHZ

        Is that true? Most of these comparisons do adjust for inflation. And do not adjust for the media landscape which heavily favors old movies.

        Not to mention that a movie like Titanic stayed in the movie theatres a lot longer than any Marvel film.

        there is an element of that. plus there was limited reels to go round cinemas, so they did big cities and towns first and then smaller towns. you may travel to see it in a big town, then watch it again closer to home. #BumsOnSeats

        Why do we measure this in dollars made and not tickets sold? Wouldn’t that be an easier way to judge current films against past ones?

        Replying to @EID9 @HeerJeet

        because it’s an industry metric that’s only unintentionally become relevant to public interest and tickets aren’t sold at the same price

        They don’t do that already? I guess Hollywood likes alternative facts.

        If we ever hit hyper inflation we’re going to see some pretty dumb “highest grossing film ever” articles. The Mighty Ducks 4: Ducks in Space grossed $5 billion dollars opening weekend! Now enjoy your $200 popcorn and soda.
