Idk if cumulative is the measure here but Frozen is biggest Animation brand.
If you mean right now, I agree. If you mean all time BO and HV sales, then I disagree. Although it will most likely get there with another movie or two.
I guess it depends what metrics you are using (Total BO/HV sales, peak BO/HV sales, cultural impact, merchandising...etc...)
EDIT : I was using cumulative BO and HV sales to make my statement.

Secret Life of Pets garnered decent reviews and was a huge success, yet the sequel dropped significantly. Minions 2 is coming off of a less well-received film and both M1 and DM3 dropped from the DM2 domestically.
I don't understand why you quoted me... I think you didn't understand my point.

Say what you want about the Despicable Me franchise, it's arguably the 3rd biggest animated franchise behind Toy Story and Shrek (including Puss in Boots) and ahead of Ice Age in terms of DOM and INT BO as well as Home Video sales. As for quality, I'll let others more familiar with these franchise debate this.

That's some alternate history.
Terminator clearly peaked in 1991.
I still think the story and visuals of the TV show was slightly better than T2.

Terminator peaked in 2008-2009. Then Salvation happened and the rest is history.

Move all clubs to the Clubs sub forum and edit the main movie first posts to link all approved clubs related to the movie (edit the club's first post to indicate both threads are linked to each other). Dedicate a Mod for this task.

Which one is he going to redo frame by frame this time around?

Avatar is not yet a franchise

To celebrate this thread reaching 1000 pages, I'd like to express my opinion on the following franchises:
Star Wars : Luke was properly portrayed in The Last Jedi
MCU : Tony was not the hero of Endgame, - he wouldn't have snapped if he had known it would kill him - Also Infinity Wars was part 1 and Endgame was part 2
DCEU : Snyder deserves credit for the Wonder Woman script
X-Men : X-Men The Last Stand was pretty good
Avatar : This is not a franchise. At least not yet... and maybe never. I still think this will get delayed to 202X...
Harry Potter : Old Harry scene at the end of DH2 was cringe worthy
LOTR : Visual effects in the Hobbit series were better than in the LOTR
Transformers : Shia Leboeuf was a pretty good actor
That's all.

I'm predicting this gets delayed again. Cameron will never be ready for 2021.

This is my #1 anticipated phase 4 movie. Nathalie coming back is just the cherry on top.

It's happened for 6 years. What is a 7th year delay?
A James Cameron tradition

Any chance that this movie gets pushed back again? Me thinks so

Happy to see Nathalie is back. Best rapper of all time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after Endgame overtakes Avatar to become the highest grossing movie of all time, won't Avatar just take the record back sometime in 2021 or even next year as a pre-release hype for the sequel?
Yes, but your dates are wrong, Avatar 2 won't release until 2023 if everything goes to plan (that's a big if...) . I expect the re-release of Avatar will eventually happen around 2026 as James Cameron finally finishes his 4D technology. He could also do it the cheap way and go the 3DD road like he did for that Piranha movie.
By that time, Avengers 5-6-7 will all have grossed between 5B$to 7B$.

Jurrasic Park would have atleast done 250m in China if not or more.
How can you apply inflation when there are no screens?
You inflate the buildings themselves with helium and we all know that when helium combine with steel, it creates a flat white membrane that can be used to project images. This is how China is expanding its cinema market, through literal inflation.

valid points.
goal of the post was simply to show that suggesting jurassic park was more impressive than EG isn't trolling
Understand and agreeing with this.

not really hard to take a quick look at something.
Calling it trolling to suggest "Jurassic Park is more impressive than EG" is flat out trolling.
There are a couple "problems" with your analysis.
1 - EG is nowhere to be found as the year is not over, but it's safe to say it will not secure 30% of the top 10 OS in 2019 considering it is currently at 32,5% and several movies will pass Godzilla, Alita, How To Train Your Dragon and Pokemon in the months to come.
2 - Your JP #s include the 2013 3D re-release (71M$) - Would lower the % from 32 to 29,5.
Otherwise - still shows that JP crushed the market compared to releases from 1993.

I’ll prove you right. Here’s a handy chart showing the relative impressiveness of the last 4 WW unadjusted all-timers (assuming EG makes it):
Really shows off Titanic’s immense accomplishment.
Methodology: Use the top 10 films in the year that film was released and compare the ratio between the WW champion and the top 10 average BO that year.
Source (from BOM):
This is actually a pretty good way to compare movies and eras. Would be best to analyze over a 3 year period (I.E. 2008-2009-2010 for Avatar). Although this would would mean not having a final picture for a current movie (Endgame) after 12-18 months.

As of today, I still don't believe this movie will ever be released. Best case scenario, the coronavirus will push every movie on the schedule by 6 months and James Cameron will use that excuse to push Avatar to 2025. BEST CASE SCENARIO!
