Bosco685 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 It looks like Wonder Woman has now passed up The Dark Knight's revenue ratio record (5.5X vs. 5.4X). Although all the superhero movies this year so far have scored high. 1) Based on Revenue Ratio. 2) Based on Adjusted Worldwide Total (USD 2017 inflation).

Bosco685 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 It looks like Logan, Guardians and Wonder Woman are still having little spurts of sales still coming in. You would think at this point Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital sales would eliminate any theater showings. 1) Based on Revenue Ratio. 2) Based on Adjusted Worldwide Total (USD 2017 inflation).

Bosco685 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Updated details The 1978 to present period in DC and Marvel-based productions is comprised of 86 movies. Looking at all included movies as a whole, they had a budget of $11,002,000,001 leading to a worldwide box office revenue total of $39,690,678,114 using USD from their given year of release and an average Revenue Ration total of 3.6X production budget. If adjusted for 2018 inflation, the overall worldwide box office revenue total is $45,840,597,789. Some movies had a very limited cinema release (Captain America from 1990 mainly appeared in UK theaters and limited international markets), and three movies either were a total direct to video (DTV) release with one being a partial DTV. With the Wes Craven 'Swamp Thing' movie from 1982, it is very unclear what the true budget and box office results were noted for the time. Some sites like IMDb mistakenly reference numbers from 'The Return of Swamp Thing' and cannot confirm the results. Three movies are still be actively screened worldwide (Avengers: Infinity War, The Black Panther and Deadpool 2). Note: Movie budget and box office results were taken from either Box Office Mojo, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes or through researching interviews with creators that spoke to the final results (Roger Corman mentioning his total budget for 'The Fantastic Four' was one million dollars). In the case of 'The Fantastic Four' where Marvel purchased the movie for an additional few million dollars so as not to have it released to the public, this has not been included in the final analysis. %20really%3F%20Arad%22&f=false'>Los Angeles Magazine, March 2005 Edited June 3, 2018 by Bosco685 ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) First 6 movies of MCU to DCU franchises, oddly enough both combined runs are now at 3.8X production budget. Just different paths to get to the same numbers. Edited January 8, 2019 by Bosco685 ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Looking at the first 6 films of the DCU with regards to worldwide box office and domestic home theater sales. With the MCU the domestic home theater sales are massive. Especially with Disney repackaging all of these movies and over the past two years including a Bluray/Digital HD combination leading to repurchases. #TheMouseKnowsDiscSales.

Bosco685 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 WB/DC now at a combined $4.9B within the first 6 films. Also interesting the DCU and MCU both by their 5th film had a dip down from the early buildup with Captain America: The First Avenger only doing 2.6X and Justice League at 2.4X.
