inflation adjusted?

inflation adjusted?

Not adjusted, but it's still very impressive.

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

And I hate all of them.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

No poll neccessary.

Its a proven fact without a credible #2 option.

And I hate all of them.

lol true enough, Titanic is decent though. The Avatar films are just pretentious piece of work.

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Titanic deserves to be there. Avatar is just terrrrrrrrrrrrible.

 

[TheTickG]

My vote still goes to that other douche who plays with turtles and robots.

 

[wlu.29]

lot of hate for avatar, i thought #1 was good, haven't seen #2 though

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Numbers don't lie. Am I a fan? No.

 

[method115]

Only thought Titanic was good. The numbers speak for themselves though.

 

[LEWIS540]

I mean he's made 3 films in best part of 30 years, and only 7 his whole career.

Can't argue with his strike rate, but not the most prolific.

Avatar movies are excellent visually, but it's just a newer version of the same story that's been told a few times before.

I walked out of the 2nd avatar movie. It wasn't bad, it's just not a franchise I am interested in

 

[I Am Legion]

Reason is because like them or not, he puts effort into making them worth your price of admission. There is craftmanship that makes it an experience. The story isn't for everyone. But it is movie making masterclass.

I watched part of it and took a short nap. I woke up and nothing really changed in the story. He makes visually appealing movies but the script isn't great.

Interesting even adjusted for inflation, he has two in the top 5.

 

[djacobox372]

Here I found a more detailed look on adjusted for inflation and total amount of tickets sold.

Check out the estimated number of tickets sold. Look at Gone with the Wind with 202,286,200 million tickets sold. That's insane. It shows the product of the time, no TV, no video games, no computers/internet, streaming. Most people just went out and watched movies to escape from reality or just to be entertained.

And you got to remember it was just around the start of WWII.
