United States #2 all time

world #1 all time

Nope. Detective Pikachu will reign supreme.

Record: >> Zoe Saldana/Gamora/Neytiri/Uhura is the most bankable actress in the world, bar none.

it's a good movie but I don't see why it deserves it, because it's a messy blend of almost every superhero possible?

inflation adjusted - which is the real thing - it won't be No1 , justice!! :P

We don't take inflation into account because its a dumb thing to do, if we do that Gone With the Wind would be forever the number 1 BO ever. However Gone With the Wind screened for almost 1 year and ppl didn't have TV sets back them, the only way to see the movie ever was to go to the cinema, so if you want to adjust to inflation you have to also destroy every TV set in the world and leave Endgame on the box office for almost 1 year as well.

Engame is still tracking ahead of Infinity War and IW made around 600m from its 12th day till it ended its run, in other words Endgame is on track to make 700m more or less till it ends its run beating Avatar confortably. Other movies comming out don't realy matter cause IW had other movies in its way too and we're comparing Engame to IW now to know where the BO will likely end. In fact Endgame's behavior is almost identical to IW if you ignore its first week wich was phenomenal and way bigger than expectations so projections are most likely correct here.

It deserves it cause it is the biggest cinematic event ever, its the culmination of 11 years of storytelling and 22 movies. Theres no denying the fact that Hollywood has never before seen something like the Marvel did in the last decade and it might never happen again. Also the movie is incredibly competent considering the task it had to accomplish, it shouldn't even exist yet it does and work very well as a closure to a cicle.

See above, adjusting to inflation would only ever make sense if you also change the world to perfectly mirror how things were on the momment of release of these movies, it'll never make sense and thats exactly why ppl don't do it for tracking BO.

Actually that couldn't be much further from the truth.

Just a few movies that were #1 at their time:

- Jaws

- E.T

- Jurrasic Park

- Titanic 

- Avatar

It's always the brand-new IP's that hold the record, because it's something brand new and fresh that has novelty.

With a 22 movie series, it's way harder to hold interest for years before people stop watching. There has already been three avengers films before this one, including one that came out just one year ago.

It's way harder when it comes to sequels. Look at your own example, Star Wars. Despite The Empire Strikes Back holding the most critical acclaim and fan following, it's couldn't gross as much as the first Star Wars. Then Return of the Jedi went on to do even less than that.

That raise in ticket price is because the US economy tanked hard in 2008-2010, where CAD was nearly 1:1 with USD.

Now USD is much better and for one Canadian Dollar you only get 70 US cents in return.

So once you transate that ticket value to USD (the currency which box office is measured in) with the conversion rate of each movie's time, Avengers only comes out as very slightly more expensive.

Did you see the other posts? Gone With the Wind was first and it still is. Only James Cameron and the first Star Wars came close.

ESB made more money than ANH on their respective first runs. But ANH got tons of re-releases and lingered in theaters for many years, specially before its sequel came out, while ESB didn't. It was a different time, with a different kind of movie-going culture. One that had all but waned by the early to mid 80s. Some blame it in VHS and cable TV, but it happened before VHS was really popular.

And you seem to presume there is a single audience block interested in all Marvel movies who has stuck with it from the beginning. But these 22 movies have wildly different stories, characters and box office incomes. And a very thin plot thread binding them all together (which often doesn't appear until after the credits!). The crossover events, and specially the two Avenger Thanos movies, are just where they managed to gather all these disparaging audiences together. It makes sense, considering these movies could end with the death or their favorite characters.

You would have a point, there, if these movies were called Avengers 1 to 22.

I think it will beat Avatar for the #1 movie in history and maybe pass 3 billion, as for it passing star wars 7 domestically that is a challenge.

Well, Gone With the Wind is only first when adjusted for inflation (which is not the proper ranking), in domestic (US) only. At that time television sets werent a real thing, you HAD to go to local theatre/drive-in to see it, not just skip so you can binge it later on netflix. No VCR, no DVD, no nothing. 

Still my point stands, before Endgame it was always original movies that held that #1 spot

And there is a HUGE overlap between the audience of the movies. Everyone now knows what "MCU" means, and is effectively treated as a franchise by a huge audience now.
