Bazza Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 If Gone With The Wind was released today it would be released as two films. The film before intermission would be GWTW Part 1 and the film after intermission GWTW Part 2 and released a year later.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I don't like Gone With The Wind for a lot of reasons but it was an amazing achievement in terms of filmmaking and profit Quote I wonder what the numbers would be for modern movies if the only time and place you could ever see them was during their run in a theater. That's what box office numbers means. Just theater viewings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more and more people wait to see movies. Heck, I personally know Marvel movie fans who are waiting for the Endgame rental or bluray. I can think of 5 movies off the top of my head right now that I'm waiting for, but I'd probably see at the theater if I had no other choice. Comparing box office numbers before the wide spread use of home video and after is apples and oranges IMO.

death tribble Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Wait, I am a little confused. Was the South supporting Iron Man or Captain America ? assault and Old Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Well, since Hermit is from the South, so it must have been Cap. Also, it was Steve who rebelled against "The Man" believing he was in the right, and didn't sign, which broke up the Avengers. But then, Steve is from the North. It gets complicated.

Comparing box office numbers without accounting for inflation is also apples and oranges, and yet that is the approach taken by Hollywood because one-upsmanship is more important than making valid comparisons. In show business, perception always wins out over reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 *chuckle* inflating numbers is not reality. Actual box office is X. If Y movie has a greater box office then it beats it. #inRealDollars eg: the 1940 film Rebecca made $6 million at the box office. Actual dollars. The number with inflation is different, and not real money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who want to brag will rationalize what will let them brag the most. BTW if you invested those $6 million from Rebecca wisely back in 1940, you'd probably have some pretty serious real money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
