Adjusted for webflation.

Some of the inflation is offset by the fact that it didn’t have IMAX screens until 2-3 weeks into its theatrical run because of The Odyssey. Standard screens are still relatively cheap compared to the premium formats and I don’t think Dolby or 4DX has the same draw as IMAX.

Tom Holland has earned more than $120 million from being Spider-Man.

Why does it feel like this movie will disappear into pop culture similar to Avatar

Because it looks like garbage and has very few memorable moments.

35 million less tickets sold than the force awakens

I'm not sure how accurate this list is but if correct Brand New Day is nowhere near the most tickets sold even when you only count US made movies from the modern era.

It's just hard to judge how much impact a movie has via box office numbers now due to ticket inflation and b/c streaming has completely changed the way many people see movies. It doesn't help that most of the streaming platforms rarely give out the viewer numbers when it's a movie or show they licensed.

Anyway, according to this wiki list here are the current numbers for estimated worldwide tickets sold (Chinese and Indian movies excluded). Brand New Day is currently at #24.

weird take. i really enjoyed it top to bottom. i'm not gushing over it or anything, but I thought it had a lot of great moments.

Gotta remember though that those are worldwide ticket sales.

The older the movie, the more likely the numbers are mainly from US, Canada, and the western Europe. So Avatar 2 is up there but it also had a much wider distribution. Also need to consider how some old movies got cock blocked from Europe due to WW2. Fantasia initially losing money was often partially blamed on Disney being unable to export it to Europe for example.

I'm sure somebody could come up w/a complicated formula to try and weigh factors from each era but that's probably a lot of work for something most people wouldn't care about lol.

The price of watching movies has skyrocketed over the past decade, so it's honestly a bit misleading, but it is still impressive.


The average price of a standard movie ticket in 2016 was $8.65, its now $14. That is over 60% more per ticket.

If you go by tickets sold using those averages, you'd get 63% of the number of tickets sold in comparison. That's not as impressive, but it shows the absurd increase in ticket costs for cinema experiences. Again, this is just looking at standard tickets, not even specialty tickets.
