In that case you shouldn't use grosses without inflation either and comparing to past is pointless. During 60's biggest movie of the year could gross 50 million and it was considered megahit. I believe there was no movies which made over 100 million on their initial release before 70's. Sure, couple movies did but only after several re-releases. According to many, Jaws was first movie ever to get past 100 million without re-release. Even Gone with the Wind had several re-releases (and couple decades) before it got to 100 million. And in most european countries lists are always about tickets sold, not gross. At least here in scandinavia only tickets sold are announced to public.

Due to the evolution of the movie industry, and the effects of things like TV, the Internet etc. have had on it, nowadays it's impossible for any movie to sell as many tickets as older films like Gone with the Wind (same as it's impossible for a music album to sell over 20 million copies anymore). Gone with the Wind wouldn't have sold as many tickets at current cinema ticket prices, and it wouldn't even have attracted as many people if it were released tomorrow, because people don't spend their free time at the cinema, as they did when the movie was initially released. Adjusting grosses for ticket price inflation is simply unfair to newer movies.

either the hobbit or the Dark Knight Rises, both will do 1 billion-2 billion +.

but looking at the list, boy Hollywood are really running out of ideas. A Godzilla reboot? Does it really need a reboot. Also another ghost busters and another men in black?

I dont know if i can take Will Smith not serious after doing movies like the pursuit of happiness and stuff.

What are you smoking???

well i say 1-2 billion plus is that it will do 1 billion both of them will, but who knows it could surpass that and reach 2 billion, dark knight rises is one of those movies that appeals not only the comic fans but its more serious that general public enjoy it and its has enough awesome action that the mainstream (people who go to see transformer movies) action folk would go see it too on the big screen. bascially one of those movies that appeases a very large auidence. 

Nothing is impossible. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

You're right.10 billion for TDKR is definitely possible!

Are these people that think TDK will hit 2 billion WW serious? You guys actually think it's going to double what the last movie made? It will be lucky to hit 1.2 or 1.3 billion, especially since it's not gonna have the hype machine of a celebrity death behind it. Realistically I see it landing somewhere between 800 million and 1 billion WW. The Hobbit will probably do 1.2-1.3 billion.
