I understand, but me personally? Do not care really for all theat (highly differing anyway) adjusted numbers.

I do look into inflation,.. to, but do compare it to the decade's lifestyle, possibilities,... prices/earnings in general and not like so many do it here

ya, the inflation adjusted is somewhat misleading, if we look at the adjusted figure, we should focus more on post 1980 release, those like Gone with the Wind,sound of music, was too far from now, and thus, do not fitting into the business model nowadays.~

Hmmm. Better get beaten by The Revenant than by KFP3. Or *gasp* The 5th Wave. I guess.

DiCaprio is the only living movie star on the planet. We've known that for the longest time, and these numbers further prove that.

[DarthWalker]

Im just sad it's succeeding bc I hate the director for what he said about comic book films

[baumer]

Well, I guess a billion is dead.  It'll have to settle for between 900-950.  

 

I guess a billion was never realistic.  But we all got so excited once the holiday numbers were out of this world.  But I guess there's only so much a film can make.

He's a huge movie star but he's not the only one. 

 

It really helps his box office that he picks his projects sparingly and well and that he most recently works with 1) the top directors and 2) in films with budgets that are 100+ with attendant expensive marketing.  Doing a $35m drama like J Edgar or Revolutionary Road and he's just as prone to stumble at the box office as an other A-Lister, ditto doing films like like Body of Lies.

Those drops - it's a bloodbath especially for Hateful8 (and my Derby).    On avg they are much bigger than in recent years post NY's holiday w/e.

 

If Star Wars does an $11.3 than $42-45m is still possible

Are you talking about this? http://comicsalliance.com/birdman-director-says-superhero-movies-are-cultural-genocide/

 

Seems reasonable to me.

[DarthWalker]

Anyone who sees this film legitimizes those ridiculous comments and the idea that superheroes are "ruining" Hollywood

I'd split it up at least in 7 (8) different groups:

1. before TV 2. TV's stations exitising but TVs not available to the masses 3. the mostly black and white TV phase 4. the time nearly all had a TV, but before VHS was common, 5. VHS 6. DVD/Internet as in YT,... starts 7. download in a nice quality normal/mobiles with movies/TV on mobiles,... 

and see us on the brrink / beginning / partly already in  a new phase, like streaming, 4k, / HQ... home server,... movies not even available/wwanted as discs (or later release dates, too expensive) = 8.

[a2k]

Looks like Hateful 8 will end it's run in low 50s.

No, it was pretentious shit and worse it was insulting to the real issue of cultural genocide of indigenous peoples - an issue that's pretty big in Mexico - so he should know better than to toss that term around in his smug self important petty my movie is better than your movie diatribe.
