I'd say the biggest one was Spielberg in 1993 with Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.

So Star Wars: The Last Jedi, to some is the biggest blockbuster flop of the ages on this website, will finish (Drum Roll, Please…)

 

#5 All-time Domestic

 

and 

 

#8 WW

 

Not to bad for a 9th film is series. 

 

 WAIT - cue the adjusted for inflation folks, because I don't want to have to read 20 pages about it.

 

#33 All-time • All Time Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation Domestic 

 

and somewhere around

 

#67 All-time • All Time Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation WW

 

 

Not sure about the overseas number, but its a good guess. 

 

 

Anyhow, far from the FLOP people love to make it here

 

 

Thanks for playing!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More ammunition for you:

 

Episode IV = $460,998,007

Episode V = $290,475,067

 

So, Empire Strikes Back made 63.01% of A New Hope's domestic gross.

 

Episode VII = $936,662,225 x 63.01% = $590,190,860

 

If Episode VIII surpasses that number, and that films detractors say the drop from Episode VII was due to how terrible a film it is, does that mean Empire Strikes Back was terrible too?

Too low the 75 Jap/China. I think it can make 100M+ if not more in China alone.

On the other hand, if this week made 70 intl., considering still holidays in many countries due to the end of Christmas ... i don't see how it can make 140 in those said markets since tomorrow all will be back to normal and drops should be big. 

Not week, 70 over FSS alone (out of 86 markets it's playing in, was #1 in 50). I think adding 2x that in those markets shouldn't be a big deal, pretty standard.

Greatest Showman and Pitch Perfect 3 surprised me. Didn’t see them getting to $100mil so easily. Good weekday grosses. Same for Coco. Thought it would just eke by $200m.

What a garbage website Collider is

 

Yea, there website sucks but the YouTube channel is separate and really good. At least I like it anyway. They do a lot of fun videos and daily shows on there. Plus they’ve got the movie trivia Schmoedown which is awesome and fun.

Happy to see Lin Shaye finally getting her due. I met her a couple years ago literally one of the nicest people you’d ever meet. Super gracious too and gave a damn great performance in this!

They have always been in Disney's pocket. Everyone knows this.

Seriously, one website actually says something good about Marvel and The Last Jedi and you call them crap? Whataver, this is why I'm a reader, going back to reading comments.

Trust me, im very neutral on how different websites report on box office and movies, but Collider is just shit. They literally dont care about anything outside big franchises, mainly SW and the MCU. The YT channel is vastly better in comparison.

Well, I personally know some of the great people that work at Collider. I'm not afraid to stand up for my fellow journalists. Good people's IMHO.

Collider is a group of hack, wannabe journalists that write shitty articles.  We shouldn’t give them this much attention

Well the original grosses were 307 and 209 for a 68.07% retention. Which is exactly where TLJ will end up.

 

If you really want to get detailed Star Wars made about 220 before its first official reissue/reexpansion and ESB made about 181. Both around 14 months of release. That puts initial retention at about 82%.

I think Jumanji's 4th weekend can also beat TLJ's 4th. Needs to fall 34.5% or better next weekend which is possible considering Sunday drop will be better than usual.
