BoxOfficeMojo use to be able to do it. I mean it's been over 8 close to 9 years, so by today's standards maybe $877M in 2016 may be at or close to $1B today.

Unless you’re comparing movies (from different years/decades/etc.), adjusting an individual movie’s gross due to inflation is a somewhat pointless exercise.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

"The movie that should've grossed a billion dollars when it came out finally made it to finish line thanks to inflation!" That is not a flex

 

[TheVileOne]

Because Superman cares about all the people on Earth, even if they happen to live in Gotham.

He didn't seem to care that much when he and Zod were wrecking Metropolis. Or he put that warlord through a wall, who Snyder claims isn't dead.

 

[TheVileOne]

Saw a video where a guy claimed that adjusted for inflation, BVS made a BILLION! Any truth to that?

Yes, but the movie came out eight years ago.

 

[Mysteryman]

Yes, but the movie came out eight years ago.

So a billion after the fact isn’t the same as, Aquaman which made a billion at the time.

Was it seen by more people than Barbie?

 

[Mysteryman]

Was it seen by more people than Barbie?

I don’t think so.

 

[donuts]

I don’t think so.

I wasn't being serious.

 

[Mysteryman]

I wasn't being serious.

Ah.

You found the wrong person to try and argue the merits of MoS with. I have said since it was released that I thought it was a lousy story and a bad representation of the characters in the Superman mythos. My response that you quoted above was just a flippant response that I considered amusing.
