Other than the Beatles, who outsold him? 

 

No one but just the Beatles doing it negates your comment. I wouldn't put Elvis in the top 20 biggest celebrities worldwide. In the US his celebrity was/is enormous but it didn't extend much beyond the anglosphere.

I mean, you’re spending your time on a domestic box office forum. What other market gets that kind of attention?

So, it took a group of four men to be the only music act that outsold him? Wow. 
 

Almost a quarter of the entire world population watched his Aloha special in 1973. Nobody else even comes close.

I would still like to see a Freddie Mercury biopic that’s actually accurate to his life and is as interesting as the man himself.

Do we get three consecutive $200 million-plus weekends?

 

TMNT has been well received and is only 90 minutes long. That's a lot of potential showings for a well-known IP.

 

I could see it doing $65-$70 million OW easily.  The last one did back in 2014.

Not with the current apathy surrounding the brand after the Bay movies diluted it. I don't see its 5-day opening frame going much beyond $50M at best. Its real test will be in the weeks ahead, depending on word of mouth.

I don't think those are celebrities. For historical figures no doubt but not celebrity in the context I think we're going for here.

You reminds me Hitler is more known than them all.

Michael Jackson is definitely the most famous celebrity ever, but I think the soccer players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are very famous worldwide.
