![]() ![]() Conversely, while inflation matters for a fuller and more accurate picture, we also need to note the sheer amount of entertainment options that just didn’t exist even ten years ago. That goes double for worldwide box office, even if we can only do a rough mathematical equation to see what an older movie would have earned in today’s ticket prices sans any changes in marketplace expansion or aforementioned premium theater offerings. That’s generally about ticket price differences, but there is only so much we can do in terms of comparisons for the rise in 3-D, PLF (IMAX or otherwise) and general premium-priced theater tickets.Īnd since the biggest movies tend to sell more of their tickets in up-charged formats, well, this isn’t an exact science. Had Avengers: Endgame opened in the summer of 1995, it would have earned “only” $305 million thus far. Inflation is (for those not in the know) a rough estimate of how much a given movie would have earned if ticket prices were as expensive back then as they are today. Once again, it appears to be playing like Age of Ultron, positioning itself for a $911 million domestic finish.īut how is it doing on the “adjusted-for-inflation” chart? Many thanks for Box Office Mojo for allowing easy comparisons for this sort of thing. So, by the end of the weekend (if not by Saturday), Avengers: Endgame will be the third-biggest unadjusted domestic earner of all time, behind only Avatar and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($937 million). That will put it within striking distance of Avengers: Infinity War ($679 million) and Black Panther over the weekend, even if getting past the unadjusted domestic gross of Avatar ($760 million) may take a little longer. That means, barring a massive comedown, it’ll pass Jurassic World ($652 million) on Wednesday and Titanic ($659 million, counting the reissues) on Thursday. ![]()
