Alice in Wonderland the remake with Depp? Really?

That list is fucking bullshit, if you adjust for inflation and higher prices at the box office water world would clearly be #1.

Rich what? Richmond![/color]]Alice in Wonderland the remake with Depp? Really?

I know... Look I watched it with mt daughter a year or so ago and it is a ok movie in my opinion and then i looked up how much it made and I could not believe how much it grossed..

 

[schles192]

It's the 3d cost, that's why every movie is made that way now a days (bigger profit margin)

Waterworld's rank is 306 LOL worldwide gross $264.2.

I thought if you adjust for inflation it was Gone with the Wind...

Good old Waterworld. LOL

Not sure how accurate this is but:

Not sure if they take everything into account like all 12 years that one flew over the cuckoo's played in theatres.

It's crazy to think the highest grossing film was during the great depression.

No kidding... Pretty weird if you ask me...

464 movies have grossed over 200 million worldwide.

I saw the inflation adjusted list a few years back. Gone with the Wind was #1 by Rod Allen's country mile.

I always thought the Harry Potters, Twilights n Titanic were right up there. (The link wont open for me.)

I still don't get the point of 3d. Just a waste of technology IMO. I saw Avatar in 3d but thought the movie content sucked, and that's all that matters to me. In my eyes, it's just another attempt to mask poorly written/uncreative stories with flashy graphics.

Not really. That's what people did back then. They weren't sitting around watching TV, surfing the web, or playing video games. There wasn't anywhere near as much competition for entertainment back in the day.

 

[schles192]

So back when people were poor they went to the movies?

Yeah. Because they were like a nickle. And they gave dishes to people attending movies back then. My mom, born in 1934, would go to 4-5 movies a week when she was a kid. She got her Mother whole sets of dishes they used for years. And they were poor.

What else were they suppose to do, stock market. It was movies, ice skating on the lake and Mumblety-peg.

 

[schles192]

I know they didn't have shit to do but I would think they wouldn't have the money to go.

It was a nickle, for like two movies and cartoons. Even that was cheap. Poor people do stuff too.
