Coincidence

And the 3D resurgence seems to have lost a lot of steam.

Which is the history of 3D. Makes a huge splash, then recedes as people get tired of it, and decide not to pay the addiotnal ticket price.

Been that way from the days of "Bwana Devil" on.

Though  3d Tech had been around since the early 1920's studios were not interested until circa 1950 when TV had the impact of an atomic bomb on movie attendance.....studios were willing to try anything to lure audiences back into theaters. Two of the big gimmicks were 3D and various wide screen processes of which Cinerama was the first, it's success spawning many others. 3D burned out quickly, but by the late 50's wide screen had become the standard. Almost every film even B cheapies, were made using some form of wide screen.

Don't you get tired of making ridiculous predictions. I recall you saying that Alita was going to be a billion dollar grosser. Do explain what went wrong

Except last decade the majority of films in the all time top 10 where from the 00s. So nothing has changed. Except -

1	Avengers: Endgame	BV	$2,793.4	$856.7	30.7%	$1,936.7	69.3%	2019
2	Avatar	Fox	$2,789.7	$760.5	27.3%	$2,029.2	72.7%	2009^

Why the word except here ?

 

Are you implying it was suggested that it was not easier to do an higher amount in 2009 than in 1993 ?

 

It was a bit the same in july 2009, all most except 2 (Titanic-Phantom Menace) in the top 10 were from the 00s

[American Pie is better]

I don't really understand what the beef is about though

At first I just assumed it was Avatar vs Avengers for the n1 spot but now that that's settled what are y'all arguing about?

Im implying that @IronJimbos attempt to discredit End Game by stating that the majority of the top 10 grossers are from this decade makes no sense - when other decades have looked the same.

But that exactly is point, that usually newer the release the advantage you have over older release. If Avatar would have beating the record of a 10 year<s older movie by just 100m for example it would not have been impressive, well I think most would argue Titanic was the bigger success despite being 1 billion smaller.

Manchildish fanboys from both sides who have insecurities doing a pissing contest. It’s simple, duh.

Exactly correct. Same way avatar had an advantage over older movies back in 2009.

Yes and what is your point ?

 

Do you agree that if Avatar would have beat the 1993 Jurassic Park or Titanic by 75 millions it would not have made Avatar run more impressive than those 2 movie run ?

[2kt09]

Avatar didn't need the rerelease to claim the top spot. Are we done here?

 

In 2020, there will be double the number of movies that crossed the 2 bil mark.

But Endgame easily surpassed Avatar initial run easily. The problem was Avatar made 30M I'm re release and for that to beat Endgame had an expansion. Simple it is..

That's actually a great point. Forget Avatar being re-released, it already had the benefit of an re-release. So they're even Stephen now, with Endgame coming out on top. 

 

Yes I know Avatar came out 10 years ago but I'm just comparing re-releases and raw dollars to dollars. What would be interesting - although not entirely objective - would be to compare the boost of the 3D craze Avatar enjoyed to the inflation boost Endgame enjoyed and see which helped more. Although I supposed it would be redundant because at the end of the day admissions tell the story and Endgame has Avatar beat in that regard.

Exactly why it smashed the 1.8b record. You ever looked at the top grossing films at the time of Avatar's release?
