^ If I am not wrong, Titanic did 1.308 billion Yuan, adding the releases of 1998 and 2012, so it would rank 10th instead Lost in Thailand.

IMHO in this case a POV thing, as the 3D version changed considerable more than to 'only' add 3D

I did not know that. There were many changes relative to original version?

He opened up the ratio ('opened up to 16:9 from the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio'),

I added spoiler tags for the rest, I realized via the following quote that this post is too long for this kind of thread (especially as it is bordering into OT - strongly)

 

Spoiler

 

now parts of the surrounding are to be seen that weren't before.... He used the full frames of the original material for finding his new version. I hope I describe it right, that's not my usual terms-I-know area.

Sounds not important? = according to critics the changes were that massive in their POV, that they adjusted their ratings to a considerable higher one.

But he did not cut out scenes or so, it's all within the scenes known already (beside to exchange a star / sky background to the correct one matching to the date, but that's more an insider thingy)

I asked someone here out of the art... (term?), for those it's partly like another movie (especially with the added 3D = used in a way strongly supporting the scene's intended impact also)

Cameron seems to be a frontrunner in having a feel how / for which scene... 3D is used at it's best storytelling impact or so.

Btw, it also had an $18m budget,... = absolute o.K. IMHO, but if you think about it, wow, some smaller movies have less for their movies with to pay crew and cast...

Sometimes my head is spinning over all the payed and reached amounts (generally speaking)

 

About the possibilities of ratio changes, I found a website using I guess a computer game (???) for showing ratio possibilities, maybe that explains better than me

edit: looked up and found several examples in the net, partly the lights seem to differ a bit too

 

 

 

hmm. I can not see the pics, I mean the ones where her hairs are much brighter, more too see, the focus stronger on her... whilst speaking with him

People still saw it as titanic so I don't think that's relevant when making box office lists.

Btw, I recently came to know Titanic actually, really, literally made 44m$ in its first run here in 1997 (or 1998). That is absolutely incredible, amazing, unbelievable, humongous etc. etc. A pure mathematical adjustment of the figure with respect to average market growth and change in Exchange Rate would increase it to...get ready for it... well above 3B$, maybe even close to 4B$ depending on the market growth between 1997/1998 and 2003. I think it is the highest any movie ever made, adjusted, in any one country. I am saying I 'think' because I remember someone saying in the main china thread that some movies in the past may have gotten hundreds of millions of admissions in their time, here. Only Gone with the wind in US (1.6B according to mojo but with lots of reruns, if we take the titanic rerun figure in china and adjust it that would add another 400-500m+ to its gross), Star Wars 1 in US (again with lots of reruns) and Avatar in China (1.2B+ in China, although if we take 3D into account then it will easily get lower than Titanic and a few others like ET and Sound of Music in US) come close.

Hence the reason I said in the 1st post this:

Quote

As  is IMHO OT I put spoiler tags for the rest (and will edit my other post to do the same, it's too long for specialized thread like this)
 

Spoiler

That sentence is IMHO not something final, I only pointed out that there might be a reason to see it in another way.

Ppl might not have realize the changes much, the critics / ppl with awareness say it's a big difference, so who knows how much it influenced them to like it more or not whilst watching it in the cinema (again?)...

I am surrounded in RL by artists (even in the school I am working a 2nd job are some, but other work and private live are full with artists, me not, but I do editing... work for them) out of different fields of art. Didn't find anyone who said it's the same. I had to ask them as I do not see 3D..., missed the 3D re-release entirely for work reasons (I think) = never bought the 3D disc, as... only 2D sighted

= I have no personal opinion about it, but I am aware about different POVs

 

And in general?

A rerun done so many years later is nothing I'd add in any list anyway, that's one of the reasons me personally do not use BOMs all-time charts, especially as I do not accept their calculation model for inflation, spread out re-releases... Funnily enough other websites have too such lists... with entirely other results = I use my own calculation models

 

I look into each 1st run release (not like the 4 theater for 2 weeks and then going wide, I mean real releases) and release and the year of its release (circumstances...) for it's own, split up per general details - incl the newer one we are actually live in - into 8 different time-phases (term?).

I enjoy to follow the actual ride, but more for the 'it gets people back in cinemas that weren't going for years'... like.

Yes, it is entirely upto someone whether he considers Reruns as parts of a films gross. But what I was saying is that if a person does usually consider them, then there is no reason to exceptionalize Titanic merely due to relatively more techincal (but not plot altering at all) differences in its re-release.

Plot alone is not all what a movie makes work, lightning angles,... and when pros tell me unanimous it's a major change in the meaning of movie changing,,,, and I see a lot of critics adjusted their rating for Titanic based on the changes than I think it is worth mentioning.

It does not take away anything from each version IMHO.

 

again: I only pointed out the possibility of another POV = I do not know why the chart ot the top 10 lists another title as #10, but there might be another reason than a mistake. I got the idea based on reactions in my surrounding and via the post about the change ratings (that started me to check on that)

I do not exceptionalize Titanic alone if its about re-reease, I do that with all re-releases in general and with all that change into 3D...

Yes I agree that the changes might be pretty significant to some people but I don't think 98% of the audience noticed it particularly. Actually, a lot of them may have indeed noticed it but most of them would have just taken it as slight remastering and digital improvement of parts as happens with re-releases of most old movies and not deemed it significant enough for it to be considered a particularly different version (as in they may have considered it as titanic 1.1 but not 2.0 or 1.5) of the original. And we are talking about box-office and not film technicalities or how different it was from the original. So the GA matters more than the critics here. So I see no real reason for the re-release's gross to not be included in the original's. Of course you don't consider any sort of re-release's gross as part of the original's so you obviously wouldn't consider this either but I am not talking about you but in a more general sense. If a list considers re-releases of all the movies (as all official lists do) Titanic's re-release should be no exception - that is the one-line gist (or jist) of what I essentially want to say.

I checked at a BO website here in Germany, they too have Lost in Thailand on #10 for BO, and on #8 for admissions

[Broshnat]

Does anybody have an all-time list based on admissions?

I have been revising the all time list (http://www.cbooo.cn/Alltimedomestic) and I am a bit confused with the film "2012". It has two entries (#82 and #83), both with 452.27m Yuan. Does anyone know the real gross of this film? Thank you in advance.

Just think if Zootopia entered the Top 10... 0_0 It probably won't stay there for long though.  Just food for thought.
