There comes a point where you have to question inflation. 2b is the new billion and 500m is the new 300m Inflation didn't help 2016 then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 its a fair point though. If Incredibles 2 manages 600M then we'll have had four 600M movies within 6 months. That's quite a lot. and I agree it's difficult to be engaged by the amazing numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There comes a point where you have to question inflation. 2b is the new billion and 500m is the new 300m This trend has been getting more pronounced for years now. Less and less minor hits, and more and more mega-hits. Due to several factors, the BO is getting more and more concentrated into very few mega-movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I don’t think it’s inflation. I think the market is shifting where people are demanding certain kinds of movies in theaters while getting the rest from streaming. Its a top heavy market where the big, experience oriented franchise films still sell tickets whereas most midbudget films have more difficulty as there’s no benefit to seeing them in theaters, and in fact it’s relatively cheaper to stream them. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. And this is why I hope services like MoviePass or AMC Rewards stabilize and become more popular. I have seen so many films in theaters this year that I would have waited to stream otherwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladels Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't call $2B new $1B (maybe new $1B compared to early 2000s, yes) In order for a movie to reach $2B, it need miracle in some countries. I'm not talking about record breaking, I'm talking about "miracle". Like IW breaking all time record by 70% in Brazil. TFA has DOM & UK IW has Brazil and several asian countries Avatar has 10 countries over $100M Edited June 20, 2018 by bladels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnack Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 4 hours ago, bladels said: People, when Mon is already too big, Tue increase will be muted or even decrease. This happens again and again with TA, JW, TFA, IW. Stop freaking out, $600M is likely imo. In general that is fully true. Bigger the phenomenom, less people wait to rebate tuesday. Even for the people that do, they will not compensate for the giant amount that will have seen the movie anyway and now are getting a rebate for no reason to do it.
