There seems to be alot of talk lately about The Dark Knight taking over Titanic as the biggest grossing film ever. According to one article, however, it has a LONG way to go. Furthermore, if you take inflation into account, Titanic isn't even the biggest grossing film of all time.

No one will ever touch Gone With The Wind's adjusted-for-inflation record, because that record was earned in a different world, without the option of waiting for DVD or cable - people saw that movie every chance they got. They had to.

But, in a non-adjusted-for-inflation sense, I think The Dark Knight has a reasonable shot at Titanic's domestic record and zero shot at it's worldwide record.

One thing that the article didn't mention is that a lot of people don't go to the movies anymore because the DVD comes out within three to four months of the theatrical release date. Back in '97 you still had to wait about a year for a movie to come out on VHS...

I hated 98% of that movie so freaking much


but wow, Kate Winslet has a sweet rack

The old lady Rose really pissed me off. Her dialogue was horrible.

but wow, Gloria Stuart has a sweet rack

There's lots of treasure in those wrinkly crevices...

She did it because she wanted to do 1 topless before she was 40

I'm really surprised that Dark Knight hasn't tapped into the same middle-aged-housewife-stuck-in-a-loveless-marriage demographic that Titanic did.

Well, my wife wants to go see it.

My mother-in-law loves that movie.

"Dark Knight" plays more toward cuckolds.

Hobbes! sometimes when you post I'm just like "well that's the end of that thread."

Titanic-A giant, overrated, turd of a movie that wasted three hours of my life I'll never get back.
That is all.

I just want everyone to remember this the next time someone says a movie sucks and everyone gets all huffy and says sarcastically "Yeah, it MUST suck considering how much money it made."

Popularity is a terrible way of defining value!

unless it's something you like

Just want to get that out there on the off chance that I say something negative about a certain sequel coming out in the near future.

"Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2?"

I was also wondering what he was referring to.

Just keeping my options open...

Transformers 2, you goofballs.

*has never seen Titanic, nor has the interest of ever doing so

Saw Titanic. Liked when the boat sank.

Titanic came out at a time when I supported Leonardo Dicaprio either dying or being mentally challenged in every movie he was in. Now he has become an actual entertaining actor so I don't know what to think.

Heh, I had a friend who used to call him "Leotardo."

wat.

See Blood Diamond.

Translation: I was single when it came out.

I'm also single now, hence the latter side of my statement.

yea, I never saw it.so he didn't play himself again?
