This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]535797[/split]
Which explains the multiplier being so good.Somehow I doubt BvS added to the numbers. If anything, I think the one/two punch of that and Suicide Squad probably turned some off, at least initially.
1. How is it enough? You do realize stuff can adjust down right? Like Avatar would adjust down because of overseas numbers.
2. It is when you are trying to avoid what the actual numbers are.
You said Wonder Woman was not the #1 grossing origin movie of all time. It in fact is. Then your like, "but adjusted". Who said anything about adjusted, and how do adjusted numbers change what the actual numbers are?
Also, this is what that page says...
It only has an opening weekend adjusted number...
Why are people bringing up inflation? To try and change the facts?The multiplier is a function of what the OW number was. The bigger the OW, the lower the multiplier tends to go. So its not some be-all end-all indicator. Also, Darth, hate to burst your bubble, but adjusted for inflation, WW is 12th in the all time list overall. And each of the Superman, Batman, Spiderman origin movies rank higher than WW adjusted for inflation.
But where is the adjusted WW number?Again, you're bad at reading.
I said it's not the highest debut.
Well, really bad at reading, seeing that the adjusted domestic is at the top of the page.
I responded to you when you omitted "origin" movie.
No problem, typing error, it happens.
It remains it did not perform evenly domestic and overseas, confronted with the contemporary superheroes movies.
Mostly because overseas comparatively it was really not so well received as in the USA. That's a fact.
I have my theory why: it's a below average movie but it came at the right time. Sometimes overseas audiences reward crap (Transformers), doesn't mean we always have worst (or better for that matter) taste.
If nothing else dubbing and subbing elevated Gadot's performance.
You do understand the obvious problem with adjusted numbers right? It artificially inflates older ticket prices (it does per run so something like Gone with the Wind is getting the same credit for inflation for runs in different decades), while not not accounting for piracy or the fact that less people in general go to the movies. Star Wars greatness came from the fact that it stood for so long as the #1.Coz unadjusted does not tell you how well a movie has done to compare across time. If you are going for unadjusted, you gotta compare it to movies that came out that year. You are the obsessed with proving something here.Wondy is 4th best as origin story and that holds up, given she is perhaps the 4th most popular super hero all time (recent popularity of MCU heroes notwithstanding).
Put it this way, adjusted BO is not the best indicator but neither is unadjusted. And adjusted for inflation is still a bit more closer in accuracy than fully unadjusted can be. Anyways I enjoyed WW for what it was. A good movie and I think its place in 2017 releases as well as overall CB movie lists of all time gives it its rightful place.

And no, Wonder Woman is #1. Sorry.
How is that a fact?
But where is the adjusted WW number?
It made over 400m overseas. How is that bad? How many debuts from The MCU has made as much money as WW?
Again I ask. How is Wonder Woman not the highest grossing origin film? Because you said I was wrong.
They can track tickets sold...How is that a fact?
No it isn't because you don't know what the OS number would adjust to. Do you not get this? It can go down. A lot. You don't seem to understand this. Avatar would lose hundreds of millions adjusted for exchange rates now.There is the domestic one, even without adjustin OV it is over 1 billion.
Adjusting OV it would become even more.
Never said it performed bad.
As other said though, Wondy is the 4th or 5th most famous hero historically (the big three, maybe Hulk).
Nobody can negate that the last 15 years of the genre laid the ground work for commercial success.
Had WW come out in 2002 it would not have had any chance to compete with Spider-Man. Let's be honest.
And again, that tangent was in response to your typo. As I said, it still is not the highest debut, notwithstanding that it's not a debut either.
Nor the highest origin, as honestbharani explained.
Besides, I have issues with the quality of it.
It could have made 3 billions, I personally still would have issues.
I was pointing out that its performance overseas stresses the insularity to the USA of its sky high praises.

It is the highest grossing origin of all time. It is factual. Zod.![]()
They were paid for it.I need some answers...
Can anyone explain to me why is there a studio audience woo'ing at :30?
Transformers, Hulk, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the last two are mostly 80s and 90s).agree about Supes, Bats and Spidey. But I dont think there is a 4th hero who is more popular than WW, at least before the MCU happened.She is not more well know then Superman, Batman, Spider-Man. And yet, still more.
Who cares if it's highest-grossing or not. There's garbage that made a lot of money, the money it didn't deserve, and legitimately GREAT films that didn't earn ****.
It feels like some people like to wear their BO achievement medals. Oh, hey look, I'm a fan of the HIGHEST-GROSSING COMIC BOOK ORIGIN MOVIE OF ALLLLL TIME!
