I wonder how many tickets Avengers is gonna end up selling Domestic.

We might see the first over 70 million tickets seller since Avatar.

I wonder if it'll sell more than TDK.

I was just looking at the tickets sold chart recently and wow nothing in the last 30 years comes close to how impressive Titanics run was...nothing.

0 chances my friend..0 chances..

It would need to gross at least $60M more than TDK did,and the gap has already shrank to $35M from $50M.

I would put them almost on an equal scale...what tips Titanic over (no pun intended) is the fact that it had to combat the massive home video scene & ultimately it's genre. I think Star Wars helped E.T. a lot actually by making sci fi so huge.

Neither of them can come close to how gigantic Star Wars ('77) was and it's legacy which is still as strong as ever today.

E.T. seems to me like it has been forgotten about, the 2001 re-release did terribly.

Titanic's re-release in America did meh.

But Star Wars continues to be strong. YEs The Phantom Menace didn't do so hot as a re-release but it's word of mouth is no secret from the world...it doing that much was very impressive as it is.

Gone with the Wind is still on top.

I just went to a 9:30 a.m. showing of the Avengers.
IMAX 3d.
At 9:30 showing the theater was only 1/4 full.
But, gotta say, the Avengers in IMAX 3d is so much better than regular 3d. It was amazing.
this was my first IMAX experience and now I will watch all the major movie releases on IMAX.
Plus, since the movie was showing before noon, it was only $12.

$800 m for the week for the Avengers.
3 more days ww to reach $1 billion.
I don't think it'll get there by Sunday night.
Domestic tally gotta go over $100 m for that to happen. I don't think it will

Seriously now..stop with this f*cking bullshit in my thread.

LOL The Hobbit is gonna disappoint so spectacularly.

People shouldn't see the Avengers gross as some sort of "trend" or something. This is an exceptional run...one that is very rare.

@Coca-Cola

Gone With The Wind is too old to be compared to those movies in terms of ticket sales imo as the whole movie going culture was so different back then while it's remained generally similar since Jaws began the era of blockbusters in the 70's.

But still it's ticket sales are excellent no doubt.
