Close poll. I'm surprised Dark Knight is trailing mainly because of the huge fan base here.

But they don't. Hence why I said "The list of bull____".

Cool sig.

Gone of the Wind 200 million back then!

More than The Incredible Hulk.

Yeah, just imagine.. $200MM back in 1939

Just to put this in perspective, in 1940, the average house price in the US was UNDER $3000.

Think about that for a moment.


Today the Average is about $165,000 - over 50 times higher


For anyone to suggest that Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time without a massive disclaimer for inflation is totally out of their minds

Add to that the fact that it was in the middle of the Great Depression. Makes it that much more staggering.

I'm in NY, my small house was $520.000

My great depression was seeing the credits roll up for The Avengers.

I voted for TDK because it's the best movie that I've never seen! Bane deserves an Oscar. When he said "bfhfwwhdfhggghgothammbatnam", that was just genius.

Nolan versus Whedon. *sigh.

We're getting quality films dealing with comic book genre topics/characters. Isn't that enough?

Yeah. I think Dave closed the wrong thread... https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4434562&postcount=6

My great depression was seeing the credits roll up for The Avengers, realizing the lights would go up soon and having to put my weenie away.

Fixed for accuracy.

Also don't forget that the film was 4 hours (3 hour 44 minutes with a 15 minute intermission), so there were definitely fewer showings in a day. Pretty staggering when you think about it.

I'm actually surprised there's not a bigger lead considering it's up against the latest and greatest fad of the moment.

I just lol at work

You meant, your great depression was seeing the credits roll for the THIRD time for the Avengers

It felt wrong NOT to vote.

Fitting since the latest and greatest fad of the moment is going against the latest and greatest fad of a few years ago.

void's right

4-5 next weekend.

It felt wrong NOT to vote.

 

[thenammagazine]

It felt wrong NOT to vote.

It was fairly obvious though. I knew before seeing your name there.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Avengers.

**** Dark Knight and for that matter all Nolan Batman films.
