But what else are we supposed to do when discussing all time box office? Unadjusted numbers are often a horrible indication of success on the all time scale.
-
I think Passion and Matrix Reloaded should be called events as well given their R rating. Admittedly that was unfair for me to ignore that important factor.
-
Thank you, this was a much more convincing argument to me for why it was a box office event than "because it was #1 of '91 and had a pop culture impact!" So maybe when we're dealing with R rated films, the same rules don't totally apply.
-
So it's an event among R rated films? Yeah, I'd agree. Not what was said though.
-
If we're back to strictly box office events @Grand Moff Tele, I'm waiting for the explanation on T2.
-
Be that as it may, pray tell what pop culture impact R1 will be imprinting eh?
-
Is that when you use a post-it because you're out of toilet paper?
-
Lol, when did I cross 17k posts? I thought I was just at 15k the other week?
-
If it goes up again you all die.
-
You know Tele, I'd like to personally thank you for this. It just now dawned on me that the metric you're using to describe an event (overall pop culture impact) is one that R1 has absolutely zero percent chance of ever reaching no matter what it grosses. Thank you for winning my R1 not an event argument for me, as always you are eternally wise.
-
Did I? I certainly don't remember that, I mean I left it off my Winter game top 15, so sub 75m.
-
Concentrate and ask again.
-
But none of those films you listed are in the same category as T2. They're all in an elevated one, otherwise known as the event.
-
Said none of the Forbes 500 richest.
-
If you hated those two films you'd be the first one arguing it. You're the most opinion driven poster on the board.
-
You know half of this forum is just itching to argue Avatar wasn't an event because they don't like it, but stop just short of doing it because they realize what complete fools it would make them.
-
Ikr? Pretty funny Incredibles sold more tickets than Frozen but no one wants to argue about that film being an event. Little secret: only the successful films the forum collectively loves can be events.
-
No, because box office worked too differently back then. We don't even know how long the initial run was, it was probably multiple years.
-
LMFAO, this has been my same argument from the beginning, the definition has never narrowed. Other people are trying to expand the definition because they want a reason to argue against something they know is true.
-
The first two weren't, ROTK was.
-
What is? Seriously, what the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about films that were box office events, and never have I been talking about any other type of event. Sorry if people thought that I was saying box office and pop culture events had to go hand in hand.
-
So basically we're disagreeing because I consider a phenomenon and an event the same thing, and you don't? Fine, R1 is NOT A PHENOMENON.
-
So then where are all those extra admissions? It can leave a huge mark on the people who saw it all it wants, but at the end of the day not enough people actually did see it for it to be a box office event. It paled in comparison to the box office events of the decades prior to the start of the 90's.
-
So why bring it up in the first place?
