>money in tickets sold >not "tickets sold"
This is the problem. They do this so that morons who wrap their lives around franchises can say "FORCE AWAKENS IN THE TOP 5 BOX OFFICE OF ALL TIME!" But it's a bullshit number. When the norm for movies becomes $35 a ticket, and certain movie becomes "must see", that movie will be #1.

It never ends.
Probably the most significant factor above all of those is a million theaters popping up in India and China in the past couple decades. Even though they're making their own movies now, Hollywood movies still top the charts over there.

At least Titanic is good.
Don't say that to Top Gun bro
nta but Top Gun Maverick was embarrassingly bad.
The first one was still worse
Titanic is a fricking titan, everything above it should be ashamed for not scratching 3 bill.

Money and miles
Barbie is good
Cinema become the most profitable ever when is closer to it's death bed.
Honestly, I found none of them particularly that gross.
Agreed except for Top Gun. It was great. You must be a filthy commie.
Normies killed this hobby just like video games. feminism, blackrock, etc are all scapegoats.
Cinema was a normie thing before you were even born.
In ye olden days kids would spend weekend afternoons always in the cinema cause no tvs at home.
The internet bringing everything home whilst convenient kinda sucks in a lot of ways.
wow you weren't kidding
It just goes to show that ticket sales aren't a good indicator of quality. Some people need to be shown that to believe it.
I enjoyed most of these. They made money for a reason. You're probably just a contrarian.
>I enjoyed most of these
That doesn't mean they are good or even mediocre.
Titanic was good for its time, its still a classic as a love story
Lion King was great
Top Gun is awesome
Everything else is homosexual shit or worse
>Has 3 of the top 4 highest grossing movies
What a fricking chad.
>Has the best marketing department
He didn't even do anything
He made entertaining movies that people wanted and didn't stuff them full of politics. It's that simple.
Nonsense
>titanic was the first movie to make a billion and it made two billion
I kneel Jim
