It is purely an inflation-based adjustment, but inflation is not the only difference in comparing different eras of cinema attendance. The whole point of doing it is so people can find out in the peace of their own mind that if a film was released today it would make such and such amount, but that's all bullshit, and not what would happen. There are economic and technological factors to not only consider but that are inescapable when calculating such an estimation, thus rendering them all void. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

There are economic and technological factors to not only consider but that are inescapable when calculating such an estimation, thus rendering them all void. Yes, inescapable economic and technological factors such as 3D and Imax premiums on current films. Number of tickets sold is the only universal comparator, and even though adjusted box office doesn't account for today's premium formats, it gives the best glimpse available into the decline in popularity of theatrical films. The people who are seeking the "peace of their own mind", are those who attempt to deny the validity of adjusted box office, and pretend that todays's big numbers actually mean something.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! I'm surprised that The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor made $115m adjusted. For 2nd sequel released 7 years later and with very poor reviews it feels like a huge haul. (It also had an adjusted budget of $162m though, but with a $400m (non-inflated) worldwide total it did just fine.) Well, no wonder they're releasing another Mummy film in 2017.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! Vanilla Sky adjusts to $151 million. I remember that it scored a D+ CinemaScore. The fact that it still made this much is such a testament to Cruise's drawing power 15 years ago.
The very same film would make $50 million tops nowadays.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! Night at the Museum's non adjusted gross is pretty amazing. Though being the only major holiday family movie probably helped it massively

Oh God that's a disgrace. it's obvious why it was a hit. Jim Carrey starring who was huge at the time, based on popular story, Christmas themed movie with holiday release date = money making machine

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! Cliffhanger adjusts to $175m.
Only five R-rated movies have exceeded that level in the last five years: 21 Jump Street, Deadpool, The Revenant, Ted, and American Sniper.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! The landscape for R-rated films has changed so dramatically since the '90s that it hardly feels surprising that few R-rated films have been that big in recent years.
On that note, I was watching Jerry Maguire while flying yesterday, and it occurred to me that it adjusts to nearly $300 million now (BOM puts it at 292). I just can't imagine a star-driven R-rated dramedy making half that number now.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! Because it's Stallone (I'm a fan), and it surprised at the time after Stallone coming off a four-year flop streak (Rocky V, Oscar, and Stop! or My Mom will Shoot). And looking back, I bet people forget Cliffhanger. Just thought I'd mention it.

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! Hercules and The Hunchback of Notre Dame adjust to like 180 each. That would hardly be considered horrible nowadays, no?

Re: Holy adjusted gross shit! It's ok. Considering they're both big Disney films, it's not great, especially with 20 years of inflation.
