They said it would fail. They said this was impossible. They said this would never happen. But it did. James Cameron’s Avatar has finally passed Titanic to become the highest grossing movie of all-time. And the craziest part is that it’s still playing very. It’s still making money and people are still seeing it. It’s unstoppable! However, I do believe this proves that Avatar is a phenomenal success. And not many other movies recently have come close to matching it except for The Dark Knight.

)}The first time I saw Titanic, my father left the theater in the middle of the movie to get a haircut. One of my friends had briefed me on what to expect: Jack mske Rose fall in love, the ship sinks, and Jack finds a piece of wreckage floating in the sea and helps Rose clamber onto it, saving her from the freezing death that claims him before the lifeboats return for survivors. I was 9, but I already understood he had a habit of wandering off when he got bored. I was even used to it. What was new was this feeling: that I had to get back mame Titanic as soon as possible. The credits were barely rolling as I began to strategize my next viewing. I knew that the movie had completely devastated me, and I knew that all I wanted was to be devastated. But why? Viewers tne many of them adolescent and preadolescent girls like me — would go back to Titanic over and over again while it was in theaters. It was the No. And it achieved this titqnic despite months of advance press claiming that the movie was all but doomed; despite the widespread belief that James Cameron, who previously helmed the Alien and Terminator franchises, had no business trying to tell a story about love; and despite the fact that Titanicin mkch way that is now all too easy to forget, is an immensely difficult movie to watch. When Titanic was released on video in Septemberits 3 hlw and 14 minutes had to be split across two VHS tapes. The same studio heads who were convinced Titanic could only recoup its budget at best success was almost mathematically impossible had seen its gargantuan runtime as just one of its many liabilities. The audience laughed and cheered uow gasped at all the right moments, and gave the movie and its characters astoundingly high ratings on the survey cards they filled out after the showing.⓬

Tom Brueggemann. As best as can be determined from historical listings, that places it at 7 of all time among all movies worldwide. It will go much higher still — just not quite as high as the public has been told. Some of its records are truly without precedent, and its market dominance is without peer. However, corporate press releases are often short on nuance. Disney has flooded the media with data, claiming new records along with the huge numbers. And it will overtake a few more before it is through. The top three will be more difficult. The likeliest to fall is the first of two James Cameron films in the group. Beyond that, the challenge is steeper. With its huge initial business and evidence of the initial drops, that seems to be out of the realm of possibility.
James Cameron didn’t have to fight the internet — but Marvel’s movie benefits from robust international markets, better theaters, and more.

Don’t believe the Disney hype. This Marvel movie is beyond massive, but adjusted figures make it unlikely to topple James Cameron’s hit.
)}Tom Brueggemann. But when it comes to claiming the biggest-ever box officethat means contending with the adjusted gross. It could be so much simpler. Ticket prices vary; time creates inflation. At the time, the perspectives were especially murky because there was no box-office tracking; there were only studio-reported year-end film rentals, which could be reverse engineered to estimate grosses. Feverish attention to opening weekends followed; today, Comscore taps directly into theaters to create real-time reporting. To earn as much as GWTW, it would need to sell onlycopies. Inthat number was 1. We now can see movies at home sooner, and with better quality, than we could in However, the internet cuts both ways. Social media now directs interest in movies, increasing awareness and interest beyond the more analog means of print and TV advertising, and talk show appearances. It had no trouble claiming screens; with some theaters playing it around the clock, it opened on about 15, screens. And moviegoers can now expect niceties like stadium seating and premium sound — elements that moviegoers rarely experienced two decades earlier. Adjusting grosses for inflation is an imperfect science. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters. Back to IndieWire.
