DAYUM! If it weren't for the abnormally large stitching on the sleeves one could easily lose track that it is only 1/6 scale.

Every figure that they release gets better and better...its why they are re releasing some of their earlier figures.  Like Bespin Luke.  He came out a few years ago but they are releasing new version with a better head sculpt.  Luckily I missed him the first time

Not gonna lie....little jealous.

As much as I enjoyed, I feel I must point out that this is merely a technicality due to releasing specifically with the intent to bolster numbers.

Well, it wasn't actually a "re-release". A film has to have left the cinema completely and then go back in to be classed as a re-release. What they did was more of a promotional expansion. But it doesn't matter how they got there. All that matters is that they got there.

I suppose. I'm more curious to know if inflation has been properly factored in. I remembered reading, not too long ago, that if inflation was taken into account, A New Hope is the highest of all time.

Every Monday on the Fandom Entertainment's youtube channel Dan Murrell does an in-depth and very interesting box offie break down. He talks about thing slike adjusted for inflation, domestic gross, worldwide gross, best per theatre average, top 10 movies of the year so far, top 10 movies of the summer so far, how tracking translates into opening weekend numbers etc. It's a really good show to watch if you have any interest in box office numbers.

I think, when adjusted for inflation, something like Gone with the Wind is the biggest box office movie of all time. I may be wrong, but I know it's definitely an older movie. A New Hope and Jaws get into the top 20 when adjusted for inflation, I think.

Also, check out Box Office Mojo website. Lots of great information on there. For instance, End Game made $614 million in China alone!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Remember, Avatar itself was re released and most people saw it in 3d which bolstered their numbers even more. 


Adjusted for Inflation it goes as follows:

1 Gone with the Wind              $3,728,000,000  1939 
2  Avatar                                $3,273,000,000  2009 
3  Titanic                                $3,099,000,000  1997 
4  Star Wars                           $3,061,000,000  1977 
5  Avengers: Endgame             $2,790,216,193  2019 
6  The Sound of Music             $2,564,000,000  1965 
7  E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial     $2,503,000,000  1982 
8  The Ten Commandments     $2,370,000,000  1956 
9  Doctor Zhivago                   $2,246,000,000  1965 
10  Star Wars: TFA                 $2,215,000,000  2015

So as Titanic. twice I believe (once in 3d and once for the anniversary of the film).

Adjusted for Inflation it goes as follows:

1 Gone with the Wind              $3,728,000,000  1939  
2  Avatar                                $3,273,000,000  2009  
3  Titanic                                $3,099,000,000  1997  
4  Star Wars                           $3,061,000,000  1977  
5  Avengers: Endgame             $2,790,216,193  2019  
6  The Sound of Music             $2,564,000,000  1965  
7  E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial     $2,503,000,000  1982  
8  The Ten Commandments     $2,370,000,000  1956  
9  Doctor Zhivago                   $2,246,000,000  1965  
10  Star Wars: TFA                 $2,215,000,000  2015

I was right about Gone with the Wind as Dan Murrell has mentioned it a few times. Never took the time to look at the official top 10. Thanks for this. point.

However, adjust for inflation doesn't really mean anything. It's impossible to do a 100% accurate like for like comparison, especially with movies from the 30s - 70s. So many differing variables. It's like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle; the more accurate you are with one variable the less accurate the others become. And vice-versa.

However, the fact that End Game is still in over 900 cinemas in America and still bringing in money from the worldwide box office means that number will keep going up for a least another couple of weeks.
