Star Wars: The Last Jedi is on pace to make less money domestically than The Phantom Menace.

Is it a flop?

>adjusted for population

kind of make sense

bretty gud

>adjusted

more people to see the movie, so you can better judge the difference in popularity

Star Wars: A New Hope - $775.4 Million
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - $535 Million
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - $475.1 Million

Star Wars: Episode 1 - $1.027 Billion
Star Wars: Episode 2 - $649.4 Million
Star Wars: Episode 3 - $848.8 Million

Star Wars: The Force Awakens - $2.068 Billion
Rogue One - $1.056 billion

And The Last Jedi is currently just above $800 Million

What about adjusted for inflation?

>another 40 million fucking people don't matter

shouldn't it be done with ticket sales then instead of profit?

>the US is 100mil larger than it was in 77
>dont correct for this goy

gotu senpai

People watch less movies on theaters in general, retards

>what is inflation

>People watch less movies on theaters in general, retards

Is this all the disney marketers can do now?

Film A sells 10 tickets in 1990 at $5. Total sales: $50
Film B sells 7 tickets in 2017 at $10. Total sales: $70

Technically film B had more revenue. But if you adjust film A's numbers for the current ticket prices, you get:

Film A sells 10 tickets at $10. Total sales: $100
Film B sells 7 tickets at $10. Total sales: $70

Ticket sales are rarely used because nobody cares about that.

what is love?

baby don't hurt me

JUST A BUNCH OF CHEMICALS MORIARITY IT ISNT REAL BUUUURRRRPPPPPP FUCK GOD

don't hurt me

you're doing the same thing if you used ticket sales and adjusted for price of ticket and inflation

no more

2017 was terrible because of terrible movies, but in general the movie industry has been up between 30 and 40% vs when ESB and ROTJ were originally released

Yes, that's what the adjusted domestic gross is. It's ticket sales * current price of ticket.

it's adjusted for both, inflation and change in population

is just adjusted for inflation

so OPs pic or something else? I appreciate your spoon feeding me on something irrelevant

Since you appear to be a brainlet and can't read chart titles:

and are movie box office receipts adjusted for inflation. They take the number of tickets and multiply it by the current ticket price.

is the movie box office receipts adjusted for both inflation and population size. It takes the adjusted domestic gross revenue from the above charts and adjusts it for the different population sizes throughout the years.

Through day 11:
The Force Awakens: $571.4 million, 61.01% of its total domestic gross.
The Last Jedi: $395.6 million

If that is also 61.01%, that will give The Last Jedi a total domestic gross of $648.5 million.

The Last Jedi's foreign total is currently equal to its domestic gross. If that holds true, that's another $648.5 million.

Total gross: $1.297 billion, 62% of The Force Awakens.

Adjusted for inflation, that is behind:
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
The Phantom Menace
The Force Awakens

And just barely ($7 million) ahead of ROTJ. Also, keep in mind that the foreign box office (especially China) was miniscule 40 years ago compared to today.

What's crazy about that is how ridiculously popular Star Wars, a basically independent film made by a bunch of nerds.
