But we're starting to go in circles. I've made the points I want to make. Inflation is a valid form of comparison no matter what a few forum goers on vgchartz think.

And ppl have unmade most of those points for you, youre stuck on the price of the tickets and how that should make it easier for movies to make money, but youre completly ignoring the context we live in x the context ppl lived in 30+ years ago. You see a movie from 1927 with a suposed adjusted to inflation gross of over a billion and you have to wonder if that movie nowadays would even pass the 100 million let alone get to the suposed 1 billion, with how everything has changed on ppls lives and how movie releases are handled. This is like doing a cientific experiment about a certain plant growth in the desert than wanting to use the statistics of that experiment to determine how the same plant would grow on the Amazon Rain Forest, completly different enviroments/contexts would make for completly different results, I cant aplly the data from one environment to the other, thats not how things work, movies made what they made because they released when they released, you take any movie, even Force Awakens that is beasting on the Box Office and might become the bigest gross ever, and change the context it was in when it released and the results every single time will be different.
