Sal Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 If it wasn't for Nolan we would be talking about what right now? BH6 numbers? Please. BH6 numbers are more relevant to the topic of the thread (listed above as Wed Actuals) than random talk about Interstellar fans because that'd actually be talking about the numbers.

Mattrek Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The problem with that is that later movies that were huge...like Star Wars and ET would have not been nearly as big because it would not have the same impact. Not to mention that today we would still look back at the 70s and say the exact same thing. "Yeah...those CGI effects looked brand new back then, but today's immersive 3D environment movies would really make everyone in the 70s speechless!" No matter what you do, every movie exists in its own time. The "impressive" movies of today will be quaint decades from now. We may be seeing the "been there done that" effect with the Hobbit movies. Is that what LOTR would make today? I agree that each movie belongs in their own decade. Different times means movie were made to tailor different moods of the years. Some movies today that are huge would flop back then and vice versa. Adjusted numbers shows how popular a movie was at the time, not how popular it would be today. In regards to LOTR I still think it would gross near the same amount if released today, it's well on its way to classic status and the effects are still pretty damn good. The reason Hobbit is fading is because they stretched 1 book with not nearly enough material into 3 movies and when they first came out everyone wanted a continuation of LOTR, which it was not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teardropmina Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Well, it didn't take long for this thread to become all about Nolan. But where are the estimates for today? we shall piously grateful the fact that mostly only general number threads get to be Nolanized. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RthDeadWov Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't think there's an easy way to track old releases, short of getting your hands on corporate data from the time (any numbers announced to the public back then were domestic rentals only, not actual grosses). In the vast majority of cases, though (Disney perhaps excepted), I'd wager that a majority of the money came from the first-run release. In a nutshell yep 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
