Guys. Squirrel, by making a neutral observation about inflation, isn't attacking or devaluing Avatar, MUCH LESS YOU. I don't see why this is being taken so personally.
The point is (for those of you who don't understand inflation), while Gone With the Wind may not have grossed as much, the money it did gross was worth much, much more back then. Think 30 cent gas prices (this is a rough guess, I'm by no means a gas price historian).
Basically, he's just pointing out that ticket sales are the best metric for a movie's success, not un-adjusted gross. He's NOT attacking Avatar. Damn, he's just explaining this for the people who don't know or understand this--which judging from your angry, hyper-defensive posts, is a lot of you. |
we understand mate
the point your missing is. at the end of the day which movie has brought in more money then any other.....that movie is avatar, thats it really
i know about inflation ect and i know it was wort alot then but done forget how much $2,000,000,000 is worth now lol.
Gone with the Wind will never always bee the highest earning movie as its not even close
|
Nah, you really don't. The amount of money Gone With the Wind made was worth a lot more then than 2 billion was today.
Anyway. My point is, Squirrel isn't attacking Avatar or you. Don't get so angry and argumentative right away, damn.

i said we do understand, and i do thanks
yes gone with the wind made alot of money 'for its time' but guess what Avatar made 2 billion......gone with the wind didnt so as this thread celebrates...its the highest grossing movie ever....
i haven't said he has attacked me or Avatar. so where are you going with this? ummmmmmmm angry? im not angry. im annoyed that people cant just celebrate something and have to try and ruin it for everyone else. its not fair, if you cant take the fact that it IS the highest grossing movie ever...why did you come on here?

Not trying to start a fight but... your statement is wrong. The nominal value of its gross is higher, but the real value is lower. Money is only worth what you can buy with it, and Avatar is not (yet) the highest grossing movie out there. You simply can't compare two movies that are in different years without adjusting for inflation, because it would make no sense. It's like saying that japan has a bigger economy because its GPD in yen is higher than the US GPD in $. In terms of the number next to the term it is higher, but that isn't what anyone measures.
