Now that it's hit $2 billion I'll unsticky the thread. Wait. I'm confused. Did this movie flop or not?

Wait. I'm confused. Did this movie flop or not? Movie bombed. It didn't even make as much The Graduate adjusted for inflation and that didn't even have one superhero in it.

Hell it barely made half of what Jaws did adjusted for inflation and that only had a big mechanical fish.

Your negative spin attemps knows no bounds.
Seriously, take a little advice from a former IMDb v2.0 poster:

I'm not sure if it's either funny or sad that people took an obvious joke so seriously that it actually got discussed on another message board.
That and they would presume that I would be unaware of such a thing when I would know far more about how Box Office works than everyone else around here combined hence why I keep making these threads due to having such a nerdy interest in it.
But enough of that, we were talking about how Infinity War aka "Iron Man and the Twenty Superheroes" didn't even make as much as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and none of those Dwarves even had their own movie beforehand because they're D Listers.

Its pretty obvious scab was joking. Some people really worry me with how stupid they can be that they cant even comprehend a little joke.
Only makes them look even more stupid when they try to correct it by trying to be a smart ass.
How many movies have ever made two billion?

Lol it ain't a big deal, they do say sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet and some of those guys weren't exactly that bright to begin with. Anyway four movies have hit $2 billion. Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars The Force Awakens and now Avengers Infinity War but Titanic did it with the 3D release so really Avengers was only the third movie to ever do it in one go. More impressive still is that it's the only summer movie to ever do it so didn't have the advantage of Christmas and New Year's holidays either. I think it'll be a good while before anything else hits $2 billion again.

I found out its someone name weird raptor who thought you were being serious. Could Avengers 4 hit two billion or Star Wars 9? This says Black Panther made more money in usa than Avengers Infinity War did www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2018&p=.htm

Well I'm not too surprised, he always was a bit too obsessed with other people, it's why he ended up causing most of the trouble on here because he could never move on.
I wouldn't think Star Wars would make $2 billion, not after the shit storm the last one caused with people. Even that Solo movie has flopped because of it so there's no chance for that one.
Avengers 4 has a chance but I'd think it wouldn't do as well as this one.
And yeah Black Panther was a rare breakout hit. It was like what happened with Jurassic World a few years ago where people knew it was going to do well but nobody at all expected it to achieve what it did.
Infinity War has done really well, it's exceeded the projection figures that I saw for it on sites likes Boxoffice.com. It's just that Black Panther did better than anyone could ever have imagined that it may take away from how well Infinity War actually did for some people.

Movies now at $2.02 billion.
Domestically it's passed Titanic. Also on a day by day basis it's now fallen behind Black Panther domestically. I'd say it's probably gonna make around $685-690 million. That'll put it above what The Dark Knight adjusts too.

Which is sad because Solo is fun like the first movie (the original movie). I see the Star Wars fanboys whining over everything. Solo came out too soon after TLJ! So does that mean the Star Wars universe is less rich than Marvel's that Marvel can release 3 films in 1 yr & do well while Star Wars is pushing it with 2 movies? I thought the comic book fandom was pissy

Panther is in Civil War (i find his arc there more interesting/showed more growth, particularly compared to Tony Stark) & Infinity War, but that doesnt support their stance If one wants to make one's voice heard...

They definitely should have waited and released Han Solo in December. I've heard a talk about franchise fatigue and that clearly hasn't been a thing for Marvel.

Your negative spin attemps knows no bounds. Seriously, take a little advice from a former IMDb v2.0 poster: As with others....can't believe they didn't know it was a joke. But people who say things like that always leave out the advantages modern movies have over older movies. Like increased population. More theaters and screens. Better transportation and roads to get to theaters. More disposable income. More free time. So older movies had disadvantages as well which never seem to be mentioned.

Advertising is also better now because of YouTube. You can watch these trailers from practically anyway and they appear on Trending. Now trailers can get over hundred million views in a day.
Before you only really saw trailers for movies at the theatre.
As a disadvantage there's far more things to keep people occupied now. Video Games and the Internet etc.
Wasn't as much to do back in the day also there wasn'tβ cable so you were more limited.

$2.03 billion now. Made $10 million in the past week but would still need another $40 million to pass The Force Awakens and that's not going to happen now.
