They’ve made a mention about how those types don’t really count against modern movies, mainly because they would stay in theatres for years at a time, due to less competition. Those old movies would have had a lot less competition for adjusted inflation, both from less movies made and the insane rise in inflation. When you count * total tickets sold* Avatar and Endgame each sold more tickets overall than GWTW, and sold them in a shorter period of time.
@@GoatPopsicle Also back in the day: No VHS no cable TV. But lots of tickets sold at much lower prices. Star Wars was in theaters for a few years also back in the late 70s
My first thought was Gone With the Wind as well, but Box Office Mojo has their adjusted Gross at $1.822 Billion almost $1 Billion less than End Game's WORLDWIDE gross. Box Office Mojo doesn't offer adjusted worldwide grosses, as Dan noted, because that's too difficult to calculate given the multitude of currencies and countries. But I don't know that unadjusted box office numbers are available for GWTW outside of North America. Remember too, international receipts weren't a major revenue source for the studios 80 years ago. It's adjusted international numbers might not be enough to get it to # 1. But without those numbers, it's Avatar by default.
Finally the news of Avengers: Endgame beating Avatar was a relief. What a journey the MCU has had since it's inception back in 2008 with Iron Man launching the cinematic universe.
Perfect timing..just finished today's SJU-so happy seeing Joe,Spencer,Roth and Dan all together again. And now Dan with an assist from Lon for charting. My crappy day has been transformed into happiness.
the point was the re-released it back in theatres. when it was close to beating avatar. But since they didn't add anything special it was harder to get people into theatres to watch it again so it crawled to the top.
Somehow, when the intro started, and Dan said "Good Tuesday afternoon/evening, welcome to Charting with Dan. I am Dan--" my brain just naturally expected him to turn to Lon and say "and this is Charting" lol
Dan we do not deserve you. You go from Comic Con working all weekend to watching a movie to review for us, to SJU and then to Charting. Dan you are doing the Nerd Lords work.
Youngster Joey Videos They do comic con trailer every year at comic con. If you attend their comic con panel, they show the honest trailer for comic con
Nice that you discussed foreign films and subtitled films. As someone from Europe who watches all U.S. movies in original voiceover with subs (well I don't even need subs anymore as I understand English fairly well), it amuses me that people whose first language is English refuse to even "come close" to other languages.
@@danbh84 Except it's covering the same distance, so the sprint of Endgame is far more impressive (especially without the drastically inflated ticket prices of Avatar's 3D)
I'd say since Endgame was WAY more frontloaded than Avatar it did feel like a crawl. Endgame made over a billion dollars in a matter of days but then took weeks to barely scratch a few million dollars together to surpass Avatar, which was consistently making money for months and months.
When I watched the first charting with Dan I was like 🤷🏽♀️ I don’t care that much about this stuff but is Screen Junkies. And now... (me on Monday) where’s Charting?! 😭I *need* to know how Lion King is doing 😩 (Thanks Dan and Lon great show!!)
5 of the last 6 movies released in the MCU will have grossed at least a billion dollars (pending on Spiderman). That means 5 of the 9 MCU movies to cross the billion dollar mark have been released within the last 2 years. That's how strong the MCU is.
@@ggamesgarner8027 Yes and Gone With The Wind will NEVER be touched, adjusted for inflation..but back then, they didn't have things like the internet, Computers, televisions, home air conditioners..etc. - so there was MUCH less competition from other entertainment sources.. Movies or Radio.. take your pick. Another reason Inflation adjusted charts are referenced, but are not the box office standard is they ONLY count domestic box office and not only does currency exchange rates change over time, so does the entire entertainment landscape. There was no Netflix in 79' .. you coudnt pirate and watch StarWars for free in 79. Know what the most successful movie franchise in the entire history of film is?.. give you a hint.. Groot is 1 of the characters in it.
Just my luck that my weekly dosage of Charting would be uploaded right before my shower. Oh well, nothing says relaxation like Dan Murrell's number talk and pajamas.
The thing is though, the rest of the top 5 deserve to be there. Avatar realistically should have a been a 600M summer blockbuster and no more. The quality was NOT even close to its earnings.
Great as always. Dan you do an amazing job. I was worried about Lon after how great Roth was but he is a delight! Keep it up and thank you for the great content.
Yeah to answer Lon’s Chinese movie question: I’ve never been a big fan of dubbed or subtitled movies. But after seeming the trailer, I would definitely have gone and seen The Wandering Earth in the theater. And after seeing it on Netflix I wouldn’t have regretted the decision at all. I still think there are some cultural point of reference issues, such a foreign films that require a deep understanding of the countries culture or history to fully appreciate. But big box office spectacles yea I think we’ll get there some day.
I would argue that Skyfall isn’t really a Sony film because while they did provide some funding, they only handled the theatrical distribution for MGM.
could essentialy say the same for spidey then since whilst sony can say "why not this" but marvel basically make the movie for them and then sony advertise and distribute it
MGM is owned by a holding company, MGM Holdings Inc. which was co-founded by Sony. The current ownership situation seems pretty muddled. As far as I know Sony has no stake in it anymore but I guess the distribution deal is left over from then.
Lon: "That's weird." *stares at camera* We LOVE David Harbour! He is going to get in as much trouble as Tom Holland & Mark Ruffalo. "Are you stupid?!" IM CHOKING!!! 😂😂😂 You don't want more people to hear about "Hell Boy" before they see it. 😂😂😂
3D, in my opinion, accounts for the inflation. It's probably not too much of an exaggeration to say that most of the viewings of Avatar were in 3D, which obviously brought ticket prices up.
Titanic is also the longest of those top-5 grossing films. Let us not forget that Titanic is a 195 minute film, so it couldn't play as many times per day. Endgame: 182 minutes Avatar: 162 minutes Titanic: 195 minutes Force Awakens: 135 minutes Infinity War: 160 minutes
That's why how Titanic was able to make all that money is far more impressive than any movie. Titanic came out when: 1) movie tickets weren't even $10 yet 2) was like 3hr 20 mins long 3) they weren't that much theaters back then compare to now 4) and was a standalone film, it had nothing to back it up, no hype, it had NO prequels in order to build a foundation on.
Drones of people go see anything Disney, while others are like an homeless dude begging for change on the street corner with most people walking by and ignoring him.
Avatar is the second highest grossing movie of all time, adjusted for inflation, neither Avatar or Avengers Endgame could pass Gone With The Wind, but the title "Highest Grossing Film Of All Time" does have a nice ring to it. CONGRATS to Avengers Endgame!!!
You guys forgot to mention "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" under "Foreign Films That Pop". It made $128 million in the US back in late 2000/early 2001. And won the Best Foreign Film Oscar.😊
"With Avengers: Endgame out of the way, let's talk about the next Disney success story!" Disney has become the box office equivalent of DJ Khaled. *another one*
25:18 esoteric = intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. meaning its a Tarantino film.
"We're cheating ourselves!" So true -- best way to get to know other people from other countries and cultures is to engage with their pop culture. "World peace through shared pop culture" is really the truth.
The more impressive part about Endgame is that, Endgame made that much money with a MUCH limited pool of audience . For Endgame ,it was narrow audience ,more money. For Avatar it was wider audience ,more money . Comic book fans single handedly carried Endgame . Whereas Avatar as a standalone film ,was more of a family movie that even a layman could go to without having to understand 20 other movies . So there was a big barrier of entry for the very casual moviegoer worldwide,especially outside of the west.
I couldn't be more proud..... Avengers Endgame is a monster!!!!!! Thank you so much Kevin Feige and of course all of you guys who have been working for so long inside this masterpiece... The Russo Brothers pushed these stories to the next level.... Blessings everyone!!!!!
So you know a year ago when Infinity War came out and Roth and Dan were looking at the numbers and wondering who on Earth just went to see Infinity War? Well I met one of those people, he went because his friend wanted to see it even though he'd never seen a Marvel film. He didn't like it.
Everyone says "we dont want it" but watch it'll have a huge opening weekend and be the biggest movie of the season when it's released. They're obviously doing next-level stuff with the visuals which is why it's taking so long. It'll be an event when it hits.
@@1969Makaveli I excluded him because he held that title during Spielberg's time. Jaws, E.T., and Jurassic park were all highest grossing movies of all time, it just so happens Star Wars was in between. Also, Spielberg produced Star Wars.
Exactly. I'm so tired of hearing that same joke/comment. It was funny for like a second and now I'm just annoyed by it. Marvel also picked his character from the comic books they didn't intend to make the Stranger Things connection a thing. It just happened. Everyone needs to get over it
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood has pretty much got universal acclaim from critics, I literally have no idea what Lon is talking about. I can't wait to see it on Thursday, and look forward to Dan's review later. I have a gut feeling he probably liked it a little bit. :)
About foreign films- I love foreign films and books. I work at a library and discuss bks & movies with patrons a lot. It astounds me how many people don't know basic information about film distribution... Many people don't know that you can't watch DVDs everywhere, OR that there are many films that are produced and released elsewhere that don't get released in America! It really surprised me!!
Q: Would [I] be willing to see foreign films that come to our theaters? A. Absolutely! There are some quality projects coming out of other countries. I've been lucky to see some of them.
I agree with Dan and Lon that it's a shame that people in the US aren't more open to watching subtitled foreign films. I've watched more foreign TV shows than I have films, but I've still seem some great stuff in both categories.
Always appreciate the charts, but I'm a little disappointed you guys didn't shout out Makoto Shinkai's newest film which released in Japan over the weekend. It's called Weathering With You and it almost cracked the World Wide Top 5 this weekend with about 15.2 Million Dollars in Japan alone. That film is also important because GKids acquired the rights to distribute the film in North America so it will have a Theatrical Run in 2019 for Awards contention and a wider release in 2020. Missed a big opportunity to talk about it when Lon talked about Anime.
There's a reason we watch movies from your country guys: our local movies are terrible... You'll find a gem here and there but 90% are riddled with low budget, bad acting, bad writing...etc
The only reason "Western" films are sometimes higher quality is because they've had many decades of practice and colleges training the next generations. Modern film-makers are lifted by those that came before. So while you may think a local movie isn't as good or as impressive, it may end up being a stepping stone for a great movie down the line. There's always hope. =]
My local TV channel have been having the same shitty "comedies" for 15+ years after the 7 o'clock news. And then at 8.30 and 10pm they get cheesy soap operas . Its really pathetic and zero creativity on their part.
At this point I'm just wondering whether 'Toy Story 4' is gonna make it to a $billion. It'll either just make it or fall just short. Still doing big things in Japan.
doing that for every single currency would be a real pain in the ass, it's not like you'd just have to convert from Euros, Pounds and Yuans, you'd need to convert each individual value from each country (or region in case of Euro)...
I'm half way through the series, but can confirm Money Heist is well worth a watch. Just make sure to watch it in the original Spanish with subtitles, as the English dub is a bit of a mixed bag - some really good voice actors and others that don't quite gel with the characters.
David Harbour was very energetic, Stranger Things aside, he's coming right off the Hell Boy flop right into the MCU he better be happy. I think Teyonah Parris takes the aware for having most energy while on stage. That girl was glowing..

Lol I think poor Dan’s brain might still be a little fried from the unrelenting combo of Comicon + travel. 😂
Whizkidd2025 I missed that!
Recipe for a highest grossing movie of all time:
1) Invite Zoe Saldana
2) Paint her full body in any color
3) Profit
so star trek really should have painted her red instead of putting her in a red shirt?
Cats should hire her and have her play an orange tabby cat then.
@@mk6rfc1 I think if jj makes next Star trek maybe he'll do it

It's okay, guys. Really. It's time.
Rename the show "Disney with Dan".
That's about right)
He can't do anything, Disney is doing so fine that it becomes the main topic every week.
At this point he could just cut over to a clip of Scrooge McDuck swimming in money each week instead of going over actual numbers.
Or at least "A LonDan Thing"
It's not his fault that Disney is killing at the box offices, what do you want him to do? just skip all Disney movies? LOL
I don't understand the notion of "long slow crawl" if Avatar took a year to get that number while Endgame took only 3 months
Good point.
the point was the re-released it back in theatres. when it was close to beating avatar. But since they didn't add anything special it was harder to get people into theatres to watch it again so it crawled to the top.

I agree with Dan and Lon that it's a shame that people in the US aren't more open to watching subtitled foreign films. I've watched more foreign TV shows than I have films, but I've still seem some great stuff in both categories.
These two are just awesome to watch..
Always appreciate the charts, but I'm a little disappointed you guys didn't shout out Makoto Shinkai's newest film which released in Japan over the weekend. It's called Weathering With You and it almost cracked the World Wide Top 5 this weekend with about 15.2 Million Dollars in Japan alone. That film is also important because GKids acquired the rights to distribute the film in North America so it will have a Theatrical Run in 2019 for Awards contention and a wider release in 2020. Missed a big opportunity to talk about it when Lon talked about Anime.
Spiderman Welcome Home? More like Spiderman Runs Away from Home based on the post credit scenes.
There you go finally what they have been tracking since April is complete!!
Congrats endgame here’s to #1!! And lucky dan getting to be at hall H;)
I’m so excited to watch Dan’s review for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is esoteric. Interesting...
There's a reason we watch movies from your country guys: our local movies are terrible...
You'll find a gem here and there but 90% are riddled with low budget, bad acting, bad writing...etc
The only reason "Western" films are sometimes higher quality is because they've had many decades of practice and colleges training the next generations. Modern film-makers are lifted by those that came before. So while you may think a local movie isn't as good or as impressive, it may end up being a stepping stone for a great movie down the line. There's always hope. =]
Depends which country you're talking about. The UK for example puts out consistently high quality content imo.
My local TV channel have been having the same shitty "comedies" for 15+ years after the 7 o'clock news. And then at 8.30 and 10pm they get cheesy soap operas . Its really pathetic and zero creativity on their part.
@@catsthemovie4692 I stoped watching tv here. All I watch is my subscribed RUclips channels and netflix (all from usa as well)
"Breathtaking" is still the best on stage response this year, but "who came up with this question" is now a close second
If you've seen Frankenstein's Monster's monster Frankenstein you'll know that this is just pure David Harbour, completely normal for him.
@@NorthernSeaWitch I think you can say the same for Keanu
This show is the main reason I’m still subscribed, dan really is the best movie guy on RUclips
At this point I'm just wondering whether 'Toy Story 4' is gonna make it to a $billion. It'll either just make it or fall just short. Still doing big things in Japan.
Dan I love your show keep up the good work
Godzilla singing Elton John songs .. take my money 💰
I am a little disappointed Dan didn't mention the countdown to Cats. Still, great show!
So now it’s
1. Gone with the wind
2. Star Wars a new hope
3. Avengers endgame
4. Avatar.
How DARE you cut out Dan Murrell before he is done wrapping up the show! Cue the “SHAME” bells! 🤣
Today I got the notification from my movie theater that Stuber will be released on August 21st. WTAF?! This is why people turn to piracy.
You could use the dollar exchange rate for when the film opened in a particular territory at a specific date.
doing that for every single currency would be a real pain in the ass, it's not like you'd just have to convert from Euros, Pounds and Yuans, you'd need to convert each individual value from each country (or region in case of Euro)...
Just imagine if avengers endgame was less than 3hrs I think it would of made more money
I'm half way through the series, but can confirm Money Heist is well worth a watch. Just make sure to watch it in the original Spanish with subtitles, as the English dub is a bit of a mixed bag - some really good voice actors and others that don't quite gel with the characters.
David Harbour was very energetic, Stranger Things aside, he's coming right off the Hell Boy flop right into the MCU he better be happy. I think Teyonah Parris takes the aware for having most energy while on stage. That girl was glowing..
Um actually, ‘Gone with the Wind’ is the highest grossing movie ever, adjusted for inflation.
suzieBirdoSum009 inflation doesn’t exist
Mason Wright it does
They should release the number of tickets sold, then there'd be no confusion...
Theres a bunch of students from china in my school (ireland) and they were all hyped as fuck for endgame
They said it couldn't be done. Can you imagine cutting it any closer to the last minute?
One Movie to rule them all
One Movie to find them
One Movie to bring them all
And it the lightness bind them
