Box Office Records Trivia Questions

Endgame opened to $357 million domestically in 2019, a record that still stands, far ahead of its closest competitor, Avengers: Infinity War ($258M).

When adjusted for inflation, Gone with the Wind (1939) earned over $3.7 billion in today's dollars, far ahead of any modern blockbuster.

Joker earned over $1.07 billion globally, making it the first and only R-rated film to cross $1B, beating Deadpool 2 and The Passion of the Christ.

James Cameron's Avatar reigned from 2010 until 2019, when Endgame briefly surpassed it. A 2021 China re-release of Avatar pushed it back to #1.

Titanic was the first to hit $1B, but that was in 1998. The actual first film to cross $1B was Jurassic Park (1993) when re-releases pushed it over in 2013.

Frozen II ($1.45B) and Incredibles 2 ($1.24B) come close, but The Lion King (2019), though animated, is live-action style and passed $1.6B.

John Carter lost about $200M, but The Lone Ranger and Mars Needs Moms did worse. Adjusted, the biggest bomb is actually Cutthroat Island (1995).

It (2017) and Jaws are close, but the first to break $1B was actually Jurassic World (2015), which is sci-fi/action, not pure horror.
