Will THE DARK KNIGHT beat Titanic's record?

[tayo-sama]

I hope so, Titanic doesn't deserve to have the number one spot.

Nice av.

"Evening...coooomissioner!"

 

[laurfranchieexo]

I fucking hope so...

 

[cadagan2]

Is there a link of top grossing films of all time?

 

[Romando]

we should have an OT group buy to help towards breaking this record

that would be intents

 

[kikilagoon]

Titanic is like 4 or something.

Gone With the Wind, Star Wars, and The Sound of Music are all above Titanic.

 

[kelvinc]

Not likely

 

[mschoayb]

I'd throw a fiver into that pot.

 

[Sandi T]

Yes, it's amazing how many movies made during the last 10 years are the most financially successful ever. Adjusting for inflation and factoring in population/theater count increases to give meaningful comparisions between time periods is too nerdy and lame. It's almost like these lists are utterly meaningless and just used for marketing.

 

[<3 Glass Heart <3]

Titanic made 1.8 billion.

It was in theaters here for 9 months.

It won't happen.

If they just compared number of tickets sold instead of $ made, wouldn't it be easier to keep track of what movie was bigger at the box office?

The speed at which ticket prices go up makes it impossible to get an idea of which movie does better.

I worked at a theatre back when Titanic came out. That movie was still selling out 6 months after its release.

 

[Faur]

What would be cool is if someone would go fetch me a link that says how much Titanic brought in each week it was released so that we could compare the momentum.

 

[Priscilla Z]

Not even close.

 

[Stup-a-fy]

Bruce Wayne could do it

 

[Marixita]

it'll come close, but I highly doubt it'll beat it.

 

[max e Pad]

Adjust for ticket price AND inflation... ticket prices have risen faster than inflation lately. Or better yet, get the total number of tickets sold and compare.

Can anyone find a link to someplace that actually does this?

 

[FuNnYgIrL!]

Domestic sales were around 600 Million...and the Dark Knight is already over halfway there.

 

[Fartomaticatron]

I hope because Titantic was a horrible movie
