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 or worldwide? 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. Domestically, since the adjusted for inflation rankings are based on domestic receipts only.

What we’re all forgetting here is that Loqueesha came out a few weeks ago and could make a move for the top soon.

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. Was just there a month ago.... it really is a fantastic ride. Definitely get a fast pass for it, if you can... unless you don't mind waiting 2 hours (which it is worth... but my patience sucks, LOL)

I still honestly expected Iron Man to shoot a Na’vi through the chest or something. Like, just something else ridiculous and over dramatic. I was right about Iron Man at least...

With all this mud slinging (or lack of) it’s easy to forget that James Cameron did the Terminator AND Aliens.
I didn’t know he was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario either.

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). Gone With the Wind had re-releases in 1942, 1947, 1954, 1961, 1967, 1971 and 1974 as well. Sound of Music's first run - not including re-releases - lasted FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. It was re-released in 1973 and 1990 as well.

Though to be fair, movies like The Sound of Music and Gone With The Wind came out before home video existed, and the only way you could see the movie at all was theatrically.

Oh sure, and that's part of the quagmire that is created from all the different conflicting goal posts that can be created for this sort of thing. Inflation, worldwide rollouts/availability, home video competition, first-run lengths being drastically reduced - there's a lot you can tweak and adjust to make the results work better for whatever narrative you're looking for.

Yeah, unfortunately concrete financial details on those are sketchy at best, hence why I didn't list them (as Stu asked how they would affect the rankings).

The other one that tends to get thrown around a lot is the fact that there's literally billions more people capable of going to see a movie now compared to even as recently as Star Wars' theatrical debut.

I think there's something in my eyes I’ll be honest, if it was in the movie, it would have been a tad cheesy and would have taken the impact of the funeral scene which was a much more grand tribute and representation of the entire MCU at that point. Out of context? Yeah, that was touching. Glad I saw that.

It was apparently intended to be used instead of the funeral scene, not before it. It's nice, and explicitly answers the "where did Gamora go?" question, but the funeral scene really is much better.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, like you said, it was nice and did get that answered but the funeral scene felt like a real end of an era.

Glad we didn't get that Gamora scene in canon, to be honest. I mean yeah, we can all see where the story arc might lead now that Quill is out looking for her, but it's still nice to have that mystery of whether she was snapped.
