I'm sad Titanic was knocked down another notch. Just saw that TFA is at the top, I thought Avatar was. Infinity war could cruise past Avatar though.

Gone With the Wind is by far #1 when adjusted for inflation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people will jump on the ship and watch the movie, along with the usual fans. Edited April 11, 2018 by TheChancellor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I honestly think Infinity War could be the first billion dollar domestic box office movie. If it's good, lots of people are going to see a spectacle like this on the big screen multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a brief moment of thinking that was possible, but this weekend has showed me just how much of an anomaly Star Wars: The Force Awakens was when it released and how its record won't be broken until ticket prices are astronomical. After 10 days, and even after beating TFA opening weekend record by $10 million, Infinity War is already $90 million behind pace from TFA. I honestly don't even think it will pass Avatar or Black Panther. Edited May 6, 2018 by seminoles1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that one that will break any records at this point will be episode 9. And that very iffy at this point. As far the solo movies are concerned. I think it will get worse considering they are pushing out more and more movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the movies, but its not some big part of my life like a lot of people, but Disney really did alienate a lot of their built in fan base with episode 8. No one really knows how much since Solo has had its problems from day one, but you got to think that there are a good number of huge Star Wars fans sitting this one out because of TLJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree completely. But this, "it's the new ESB, and is gonna be remembered as a all time classic in 10 years" or w/e is complete nonsense. The main reason why Disney bought this franchise is to make money. All others fall by the way side. Now they will always turn a profit with these movies just because of the fanbase old or young. But you gotta assume that the higher ups are sated but not nearly as happy had TLJ made the kind of money everyone thought it could including them. With the Solo movie not doing as well as one would hope you gotta wonder if they start taking it safer with future stories and keep a shorter leash on creativity.

seminoles1 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 A lot of things went against this movie. Tough competition, quick Star Wars brand turnaround, that turnaround being from the most divisive Star Wars movie, and lots of bad pre-release press. I do think they'll be safer going forward, but we knew that once they hired Abrams again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
