| StreaK said: Doesn't change the fact that the two films that were able to break both the 1 billion and 2 billion barrier were both Cameron films. And two films that did NOT have an established franchise to back them up. Now THAT is impressive to me! Of course Star Wars is going to do well with its gimmicks and years of history and fanbase. Also, let's not forget the other sequels have no chance at beating the first in the trilogy as evidenced by the first trilogy and second trilogy (prequels). The first movie ALWAYS does significantly the best. So the sequel, no matter how good, will do 300-400 million less at least. If Titanic released TODAY with 3D, it would have made 2 billion in the domestic boxoffice. Adjusted for inflation, it already broke the 1 billion dollar barrier domestically. It has like over $4 billion worldwide even. |
Haha, this is too funny. You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. If Titanic released today , it would do 2 billion domestic boxoffice? I'm baffled. What if I told you it wouldn't even do 25% of that figure? You know why? Because this is 2015-2016, and back when Titanic released it was , by far, the most ambitious project to date. It was filmed at a scale never before seen in the theatre. Nowadays a film like Titanic wouldn't amount to much impact in the world.
People should think twice before extrapolating numbers using logic like ' inflation proves this movie would do x more if it released today'. It's almost as bad as spam.
