I can believe that. exactly. From Box Office Mojo: * Adjusted to the estimated 2018 average ticket price of $9.18. Inflation-adjustment is mostly done by multiplying estimated admissions by the latest average ticket price. Where admissions are unavailable, adjustment is based on the average ticket price for when each movie was released (taking in to account re-releases where applicable).

EXACTLY how Box Office Mojo attempts to convey USD inflated. Meanwhile, it assumed a lot like 3-D and IMAX ticket prices for older movies and what those would have cost back in the good ole days. Yeah - exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the new measure was how much more profitable Wonder Woman was compared to all its in-year Marvel movies. You know - because that's what you fine ladies would do for a few months if the stats were the reverse. No. 6 ‘Wonder Woman’ Box Office Profits – 2017 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament Quote THE BOTTOM LINE Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice generated more in overall revenues than Wonder Woman, $681.5M to $659.1M. But Jenkins’ movie yields an astounding 139% more in profit with $252.9M. No. 7 ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Box Office Profits – 2017 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament Quote What a difference it makes having Marvel involved: Spider-Man: Homecoming generated $200.1M in profit, 184% more than the $70.3M earned by the 2014 webslinger title The Amazing Spider-Man 2. No. 8 ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Box Office Profits – 2017 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament Quote Thor: Ragnarok reaped more in profit than Thor: Dark World, $174.2M to $139.4M. This despite the rise in production costs from $170M to $180M, and participation that grew from an estimated $12M to $50M. No. 9 ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ Box Office Profits – 2017 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament Quote Despite making more money at the box office than the first GOTG, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 generates a slightly smaller profit at $154.7M than its first chapter’s $204.2M. Heck, with Spider-Man Homecoming having an estimated $157M Print & Ad budget, I assumed you all would be talking this to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Ah yes- The famous "but some article says it was 'more profitable'" participation trophy that Wonder Woman gets for making less money than every single MCU movie last year. I hear Scott Mendelson's phone ringing again. (And I see you still don't know the difference between a marketing budget and the "media value" of a promotional campaign and are still spreading your fake news around here.) -J.

I remember when ET was a big deal. It is incredible when you step back and consider what the Hollywood opinion was about these movies years ago. Now, they are some of the hottest properties and studios are trying to grow their own franchises. I'm just concerned with Valiant Comics 'growing' when you see all that leadership talent being flushed out of the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so confused what we're arguing about anymore. The fact that WW is more profitable than any individual Marvel movie that year is surely a feather in its cap no?

Paperfart has been leaning on an old joke crutch by picking on Justice League repeatedly because WB set itself up for failure. Any time him and Gatsby can throw in a '...better than JL', they will.

Big box office revenue numbers are great and all, but ROI is where it's at for investors. It's a false flag because the numbers reported are not in the public domain, and further do not take into account ancilliaries (which almost any Marvel movie would best any DC movie) so when you try to wade into those weeds you are not only dealing with incorrect/speculative data, but also incomplete data. Which is why how "profitable" a movie was (to a studio) usually only enters the conservation when it in fact under performed relative to other movies. -J.
