| Shadow1980 said: It's hard to really do good comparisons for global box office figures, because you'd have to take into account ticket price inflation from many countries. Of course, regardless of international comparisons of ticket price inflation, said inflation in general favors Avatar as it was released a decade before Endgame. However, that does come with the caveat that Avatar had a disproportionately large portion of its gross come from 3D and IMAX/large-format screens, probably the largest such share ever for a big blockbuster. |
Avengers had a HUGE advantage in the Chinese market being way, way, way bigger circa 2019 than 2008, if anything this just shows Avatar can still play in China even while being 10 years old.
If Avatar had the same level of Chinese market in 2008 when it released it would fucking destroy Avengers. It would not even be close. Avengers was only a paper champion and Avatar took that paper title and ripped it to shreds anyway.
