    Have you ever watched a Chinese Wuxia movie like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in which people suddenly fly on bamboos and walls like gravity doesn’t exist? I think the way westerners react to that kind of scenes (wtf is going on?) is how I react to the force concept. 

     

    I'm western, and I find this pretty cool though. Alwaws loved Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

    I hate to relitigate this issue but Batman v Superman had an unprecedented 1.99 multiplier. Justice League only opened with 94mil because people hated BvS so much. So no Justice League, which got better reviews than BvS, flopping did not help BvS perception. BvS damaged the brand greatly.

    I agree, but overall the decline from TLJ to this one has been around 10 to 15% at least on the first day. It's less than the decline from TFA to TLJ opening days, so does it mean people hated TFA and therefore didn't go to watch TLJ? Of course no

     

    10-15% decline on OW from TLJ to TROS is not good, but surely it's not a disaster as many people are trying to paint. However, if this movie legs turn to be be the same (or worse) than TLJ it means they tried hard to get hide of all TLJ negativity bringing trash fanservice, but ending not receiving a good public reception

     

    Of course, I can't predict the future so I have no idea whether this movie will have better or worse multiplier than TLJ, I was just having a wishful thinking (and using the opportunity to trash on TROS because why not?)

    Nonsense. That's like saying that Batman v Superman was vindicated by Justice League's failure.

    Though I don't like Batman V Superman, this is exactly what I see in this situation. Batman v Superman was a fine movie where the director tried to deconstruct their heroes personality and also give to the movie some soul and identity not replicating what was done before

     

    It's the same with Last Jedi, Rian tried to bring some action with a worth-thinking nature and making characters having major flaws so they could grow in the history. 

     

    Meanwhile, Justice League is a garbage action movie full of cheap fight scenes and not a bit of artistic direction. Is the same to TROS. The studios tried to make the cheapest movie possible in a desperate attempt to pander the fandom and general audience (who are not exactly the most enlightened audience out there) 

     

    It would be funny if their effort in making a trash goofy movie turn into a worse public reception than TLJ

    AVATAR 2 is not a nerdy/geeky 'must see opening night' style of film like a superhero or Harry Potter film, or even a Star Wars. Avatar 2 might not even hit 200m opening weekend, its more about its legs than opening weekend imo.

    I agree about A2. But who knows how this franchise will develop ? It may lack a powerful fandom now, but Jurassic World didn't have a rabbit dedicated fanbase and broke the all time record nevertheless

    I don't think so. 

     

    We're now pretty much as high as it gets in terms of premium formats generating additional money. 

    I feel like we're now at the ceiling of what audiences are willing to pay for a ticket.

     

    We also have inflation into consideration. From 2008 to 2018 ticket inflation was 26,8%

     

    So the same amount of tickets enough to make around 395M today will be enough to challenge 500 MI in 10 years (if ticket inflation stay around the same of this decade)

    So:

     

    1989 - Batman ($91,7M)
    1992 - Batman Returns ($98,8M) +7,7% increase
    1993 - Jurassic Park ($103,4M) +4,6%
    1995 - Batman Forever ($108,9M) +5,3%
    1997 - JP2: Lost World ($142,9M) +31,2%
    2001 - Harry Potter 1 ($144,8M) +1,2%
    2002 - Spider-Man 1 ($180,3M) +24,5%
    2006 - Pirates 2: DMC ($187,7M) +4,1%
    2007 - Spider-Man 3 ($199,9M) +6,4%
    2008 - Dark Knight ($200,4M) +2,5%
    2012 - Avengers ($236,9M) +18,2%
    2015 - Force Awakens ($268M) +13,1%
    2019 - A: Endgame ($357M) +33,2%

     

    It took 7 years from SM3 to TFA (increase of 34,6%), so I guess we will have Avengers record beaten in second half of 2020's

    List below. It definitely changed pretty frequently through the years. Would have changed even more often with Friday releases for films like Independence Day, Phantom Menace, Spider-Man 2, Revenge of the Sith, and maybe others. I don't think we are gonna see anything top Endgame for a long time. 

     

     

    1989 - Batman ($40M)

    1992 - Batman Returns ($45M)
    1993 - Jurassic Park ($47M)

    1995 - Batman Forever ($52M)
    1997 - JP2: Lost World ($72M)

    2001 - Harry Potter 1 ($90M)

    2002 - Spider-Man 1 ($115M)

    2006 - Pirates 2: DMC ($135M)

    2007 - Spider-Man 3 ($151M)

    2008 - Dark Knight ($158M)

    2011 - Potter: DH2 ($169M)

    2012 - Avengers ($207M)

    2015 - Jurassic World ($209M)

    2015 - Force Awakens ($248M) 

    2018 - Infinity War ($258M)

    2019 - A: Endgame ($357M)

     

    Do you have a list of average price of a ticket by year? I'll rewrite this adjusted to 2018 numbers
