Gone with the Winds gross adjusted for inflation is $3.444 billion. Will Star Wars surpass this gross.

I think its possible that it has a shot at this. Agree or disagree?


Never. The top ten movies in history, when adjusted for inflation, will probably stay the same forever. People don't buy as many tickets as they use to for that to happen.

 

It's also why I don't care when a movie claims to be the highest grossing of all time etc. because it's misleading.


By some sources avatar is the number two movie worldwide when adjusting for inflation. So things that are big enough world wide phenomenon(and the extra expensive 3d and Imax tickets do have a chance a cracking the top ten.

it will. If it performs just like TPM (which was not even that good) it will pass JW but fall just short of Avatar. 

Everyone I know wants to see it. Well except people who think its cool to hate on stuff that everyone else wants to do just to be different because it makes them feel important. 

If someone doesn't like something they don't do it just to feel important its there opinion. Not everyone loves star wars and that's a fact so get over it . This movie will make money but it won't be the second coming of Jesus. 


no I am talking about the haters. The ones who makes sure everyone knows they wont see it and they think Star Wars sucks. Yes people who could care less about it will ignore it and move on.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

He's talking about world wide since he said 3.4 billion for gone with the wind. Where avatar is number 2 since it did over 2 billion outside the US. 

Now if you want to talk about just the top ten in the us never changing. The number 5 movie on that list came out in my lifetime and several others on that list have been released in my lifetime as well so that hardly makes a list that never changes.

The Phantom Menace couldn't even beat Jurassic Park when it came out and JP was out for 6 years by then.

The newest movie came out in 1997. The next newest movie, 1982. The reason why it'll never change is because people don't go to the movies like they use to. It's about trends, cultural trends. The movies are never going to reach the height that they were pre-internet.

The list had changed plenty of times even in the 2000s many of those top ten have changed places with relealeases, it will change again, be it from a rerelease of a movie just outside the 10 or some future phenomenon who knows.
