@returnofthebrotha: So what exactly is your point? Kind of hard to be on peoples minds for decades when its only been released for a few months (Endgame) and a few years (Star Wars TFA). Stupid comparison. If you are going to pretend to type smart, at least proof read your statement before you make yourself look stupid, numb nutz.
@idakooz: There is no *, just ignorant fools unable or unwilling to accept the fact that MARVEL is now top of the box office food chain. Not just over DC, but over the WHOLE DAMN THING. I predicted this some what, back in 1990s when the Infinity Gauntlet comic series was released. After reading it, I knew if they ever made a movie based on it. That movie would be very successful. BUT DAMN I didn't expect this
@iloveqwop: I stopped, I thought. YEAH, "Avatar" about soldiers going to an alien world to fight aliens, how original. OH wait, "Aliens", also a James Cameron movie about soldiers going to an alien world to fight aliens. Not so impressive now huh?
@blondie_82: Farts Gone with the Wind sucks, the best part of that movie is not watching it. Giving that movie the inflation advantage is an insult to every atom in this universe. I would rather watch Rats Night of Terror (1984) 100 times than watch that ever again
@cajunstrike: If thats the case, Endgame wins, because it has been established to have sold more tickets than Avatar. Due to standard tickets today being cheaper than Avatars 3D tickets, it took more for Endgame to become #1
Adjusted for inflation is irrelevant when comparing Avatar to Endgame. Most of Avatars tickets were 3D and were more expensive than even today's standard tickets. Avatar sold so many mostly due to the lack of competition in said 3D theaters and not much competition in standard either. Endgame has actually sold more tickets worldwide than Avatar, which makes the inflation argument weak for Avatar. Not to mention Endgame has made more money in a fraction of the time. Another misconception is that Avatar has had only one re-release, when in fact it has had two. One was similar to Endgames re-release, but only made 5.5 mil, and did not have extra content added until several months later when it was re-released again with the extra footage, and made 30 mil more. Endgame has managed to make even more in its first re-release than Avatars two re-releases combined. So dont be surprised if Endgame has a proper re-release in the future with all deleted scenes finished. Should solidify Endgame as the #1 for years to come. Avatar wouldn't even make 2 bil if it had its 3D theaters taken away like what happens to movies today. Caveat for Endgame? I can think of quite a few caveats for Avatar.
