Aren't Titanic and Return of the King when adjusted above 1 Billion Worldwide?

@Sansui, hope you don't mean Transformers...
Though Dark Knight was spectacular.

 

You're damn right I do.  The best summary of Michael Bay I've ever seen was done by South Park during the imaginationland episodes. 

General: [to the specialist] Get him out of here. [M. Night Shyalaman is hauled away, only to be replaced by...] Mr. Bay, can you thnk of any idea how to outwit these terrorists? 

Michael Bay: I believe I can.  We start... by making a big CG building and then we have a meteor go CROSSHH! [makes a diving motion with his left arm] and it, and it's all like CRAAWWWLL [simulates an explosion with his arms] a-and motorcycles burst into flame while they jump over these helicopters, right? [has his right hand go over his left arm like a motorcycle over a helicopter]
 
General: [firmly] No no! We need ideas how to stop the terrorists!
 
Michael Bay: An eighteen-wheeler spins out of control and it's all like BROSSHH [makes a crashing motion with his right hand] And then this huuuge tanker full of dyna- [launches into a series of explosions] 

General: [fed up] Those aren't ideas, those are special effects! 

Michael Bay: I... don't understand the difference. 

General: I know you don't. Get him out of here! [next in the chair is Mel Gibson] Aaand being that we are all big Mel Gibson film fans, we thought maybe you could help us.

I will get a boner. Wait...wait...I think it just passed titanic.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

I think the crown for best box office success should be based on ticket sales not for how much money it made. I mean what if in another hundred years tickets were like 10 times as much as they are now. Would it be fair then that a bad movie that hardly anyone saw beat TDK in money. Would that mean its a greater box office success. As much as I liked TDK it won't beat Titanic for ticket sales, NA Gross, worldwide gross or how much money it made. The funny thing about Titanic is that it started off slow and was sold out still in it's 5th, 6th, and 7th week. I think you guys are forgetting how insane that movie was.



 

 

I looked up some facts about the movie Titanic.

It was #1 at the box office in North America for 15 consecutive weeks.

Some theaters in Australia, India, and South Africa ran it for over a year.

It won 11 Academy Awards. 2 other movies have done this. In total in has won almost 90 awards with another 47 nominations.

I think the makers of Gone with the Wind probably say the thing, if any of them are alive.

^Lots of records. I don't think it can pass Titanic. Unless it has tremendous staying power. We will see though.
