You have to compare apples to apples for a meaningful comparison. The point being, that if CM had been released in 2002 it would not have that impressive of a haul. It would gross under $100 million and wouldn't even be on the radar for blockbuster status. People that act like the higher cost of a movie ticket (inflation not being a significant cause) has no affect on the movie's of 2019 grossing these ridiculous sums are in denial.

More weak proclamations. One trick pony.

So you think the adjustment for inflation on movie tickets from 2002 to 2019 is over 68%?
Jesus you're an idiot.

Can you read? I specifically said the increase in ticket prices was NOT caused by inflation, which was mostly nonexistent over that period. The movie theater experience is completely different in 2019 than 2002. It's a luxury experience now with large reclining seats, IMAX, 3-D theaters, drinks and dinner served. A ticket to a movie in 2002 was $5. That's $7 in 2019 dollars, yet a movie ticket is about $15. So it's actually more than double.

I wonder if Spectrum (adult Monica Rambeau) will make an appearance in Endgame. If she was 11 in Captain Marvel, she would be in her mid 30s in Avengers Endgame.

Wrong again.
Average US movie ticket prices in 2002 were in the $5.80 to $6.03 range.
Average movie ticket prices in the US in 2019 are $8.97 to $9.03 range.
This is stupid anyway.
This is the only comparison that matters.
It's top ten in three weeks and will finish top 5 or 6.

That market was insignificant until recent years. You can't make a fair comparison to past years without controlling for all of the variables. Movies are making inflated grosses in modern years because of multiple factors - it's not that more people are going to see them or that they are better or more popular. Hell, movies in the 90s and 00s were much better than the garbage put out today. It's not even debatable.

It's there for everyone to see. I don't need you to accept it to make this happen.

I've gone to the same theater since 1990 and I know exactly what prices were then and I can just pull up Fandango to see what they are today. They were $5 in 2002 and they are $15 today. I'm not even counting the IMAX/3-D prices, that's just a the basic cost for a primetime showing for a "regular" movie"

Well if the entire country went to your theater (that's been basically empty for Captain Marvel showings) you might have a point. But since they don't, you're still an idiot.

Sounds like people don't watch movies at his theater. Maybe that's why prices are jacked up where he lives. Or maybe the other way around.

2/3 to 3/4 full is not "empty". A blockbuster movie should be sold out for 8 weeks. This movie is a dud and when movies in a few years bump it off the top grossing movies list, you'll understand that I'm right.

Captain Marvel doesn't get near the haul it did if it is 2002 because the MCU wasn't in full stream at that point. You have a huge built in fan base that will watch any movie regardless of how B grade the title character is.
Marvel movies have a system for a reason, it works. Regardless of how much anti-comic book movie goers scream and cry, Marvel has serialized the movie experience just like they did actual comics.

The last blockbuster that sold out for 8 weeks was maybe Black Panther, before that Jumanji and before that, the Force Awakens. All three of those were winter releases though.
Very few movies are going to fill up auditoriums for more than 4 weeks. Maybe 2-3 a year.
Disney will get a billion from Captain Marvel, they just won’t get it how they thought. It won’t have the legs domestically, but it opened higher than they thought which is good for their cut. It fared better overseas than they thought but a bigger percentage of that than they want is in China were they get a small percentage of the cut than any other market.

That is outdated thinking.

It will finish as the MCUs top grossing non-sequel/Origin story not named Black Panther.
I'm sure the studio folks are on suicide watch.
