Edmilson 7,427 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 9 minutes ago, Holko said: Depends on how well the tickets followed inflation According to The Numbers, Titanic sold 34.3 million tickets in 1997 (it came out in December of that year) and 94.5 million tickets during 1998. So, it was almost 130 million tickets in total for the James Cameron movie. Spider-Man NWH sold 67 million tickets in 2021 and 6.5 millions so far in 2022, which means 73.5 million tickets in total. And yet SM earned more than Titanic because ticket prices were cheaper in 1998 than in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 But one could argue that if Titanic sold more ticket it was because it was cheaper (you could get two or three time for the same price today), out of pandemic and with no streaming services ready to release it less than 3 months after its theatrical release. All this to say that it's pointless to compare movies box-office especially when they are released with two decades of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Top Gun 2 is the first movie to get an A+ CinemaScore since the most recent Spider-Man, suggesting it will have a very very good weekend.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The fact that it took this long for DS2 to dethrone Batman, despite opening with a $50 million headstart, shows that word-of-mouth for that, while not bad per se, was certainly less enthusiastic than usual for a big Marvel. Which is fine, people got so used to MCU doing insane box office every time in the time around Endgame, they forget that before Black Panther it was pretty normal for some MCU movies to do middling business (the Thors, Ant-Mans, and the first DS were all just pretty good box office, not insane).

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 With neither Spider-Man: No Way Home nor Top Gun Maverick receiving releases in China, and still being big hits, I’m hoping Hollywood is finally moving on from their pathetic, obsequious kowtowing to Chinese censors. Top Gun even put a Taiwanese flag on Tom Cruise’s jacket as a “fuck you” to the Chinese government.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 It's all but assured that Top Gun 2 will outgross Doctor Strange 2 (at least for the American box office) which I don't think *anyone* would have predicted 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,352 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The Marvel flicks are fine and dandy, but an undoubted feeling of 'sameyness' has kicked in (although Raimi's horror-tinged touches livened up Doctor Strange 2). By contrast, at a rate of 2 in 36 years it's not like we've been swamped with Top Gun movies ... plus it has probably lured older, nostalgic moviegoers back to cinemas for the first time in a while.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Top Gun 2 is about about to be the biggest inflation-adjusted hit of Cruise's entire career at age 59! And actually he's turning 60 in less than a month. Nobody on Earth, not even Tom Cruise, would have predicted that. TG2 will almost certainly surpass that 437 number (it annoys me that The Numbers included Austin Powers in this list. cameos don't count!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an event movie for older demographics who grew up with Cruise and the original Top Gun, and also don't care about superheroes, fantasy, shared universes, etc. Kinda like Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018. That said, according to Deadline, the word-of-mouth is so good that even younger people are watching this in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stat is all the more notable because TG2's 3rd weekend is against Jurassic World and DS2's 2nd weekend was against nothing big. I have nothing against DS2, a movie I pretty much liked, it's just useful as a comparison to set off what an unexpected anomaly TG2 has turned out to be. It's also just kinda funny to me that DS2 can make more than $900 million worldwide and still have a slight aura of disappointment around it.
