And it bears repeating that Avatar made an additional $30 million from a re-release which added about 10 minutes to an already bloated runtime. If you deduct both movies' re-releases, Endgame would have passed Avatar about six weeks ago. Probably would have done it even sooner had Disney not thrown Aladdin in just mere weeks after Endgame came out, kicking Endgame out of a lot of the premium screenings at many theatres. Plus, Avatar was in the theaters for the better part of a year. Endgame it's been something like 3 and half months

Avatar sucked and I’m glad it was dethroned by a quality production. Looking forward to the two sequels worth of Cameron being like “come on, you guys loved this film.... right....?” As boring as I find the movie I will say I am looking forward to going to Disney World with the fam this Fall because the World of Pandora looks amazing.

2. Doesn’t a dollar go a lot further even ten years ago then it does now? Given inflation isn’t Gone With the Wind still the highest grossing movie of all time, but how do these two measure up? No one counts for inflation.

Two things: 1. Infinity War was the far superior movie in every way. 2. Doesn’t a dollar go a lot further even ten years ago then it does now? Given inflation isn’t Gone With the Wind still the highest grossing movie of all time, but how do these two measure up? Adjusted for inflation Avatar and Endgame are the 15th and 16th highest grossing movies of all time. The top 20: 1. Gone with the Wind 2. Star Wars: A New Hope 3. The Sound of Music 4. E.T. 5. Titanic 6. The Ten Commandments 7. Jaws 8. Doctor Zhivago 9. The Exorcist 10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 11. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 12. 101 Dalmatian 13. The Empire Strikes Back 14. Ben-Hur 15. Avatar 16. Avengers: Endgame 17. Return of the Jedi 18. Jurassic Park 19. Return of the Jedi 20. The Lion King (1994)

Ok, show of hands. Who when they heard this news in their minds heard that dramatic part of the the Avenger's Theme Music? I know I did.

I’m just looking for something to knock Diznee and Cameron off their f***ing horses Adjusting for inflation, Disney still has the rights to 12 of the top 20 films of all-time, including Cameron's two big ones (Star Wars, Sound of Music, Titanic, Snow White, Force Awakens, 101 Dalmatians, Empire Strikes Back, Avatar, Endgame, Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace and Lion King)

Between myself and everyone else who wanted me to go with them I ended up seeing Avatar 3 times and Endgame 8 times. Never seen nothing like Marvel movies. Their the only movies where I see my kids willing to sit in one place for that long. Even at home.

Good. I've been hoping for superhero movies to take James Cameron down since he started shitting on them like last year. Whiny old man gets what he deserves. I mean he got a 22 year reign as the king of the box office one way or another and still has 2 of the Top 3 highest grossing films of all time, so, I don’t think he particularly cares too much? He's got enough of an ego that I'm fairly sure it's bugging the hell out of him. He might not admit it publicly, but privately, I'm sure he's not happy. He'll be less happy if Avatar 2 doesn't do the business he's likely expecting it to.

I think Avatar 2 will still probably break $1 billion, because China, but $2 billion isn’t happening especially since Abatar’s success has helped make December into busy month for movies.

Hmm. Does anybody else think if Disney re-released the Star Wars original theatrical cut, remastered, into theaters, it could overtake Gone with the Wind?

Depends how the inflation is calculated, but probably not likely. Even if just added flat to the total, it would have to take over $215 million domestically.

Domestically might be difficult, but I could easily see it making $200+ million worldwide. People have been begging for Lucas and now Disney to remaster and release the original theatrical version for more than twenty years.

The Lion King (1994) I wanna say a bunch of these have had re-releases and I'm curious how much those factored into the records. Anyone know? Almost all of them have been re-released a number of times, though only wide releases are counted. Since I'm at work I'll just post the top five: Gone With the Wind was re-released in '89, '98, and as recently as February, adding $2.4 million, $6.7 million, and $2.1 million to the total. Star Wars was re-released in '82 ($15.2 million) and '97 ($138 million). Sound of Music was re-release in 2018 ($600,000). E.T. was re-released in '85 ($40.6 million) and '02 ($35.3 million). Titanic was re-released in 2012 ($57.8 million) and '17 ($691,000).
