$500,000,000

Post by djross »

With today's addition of Batman v Superman there are now precisely 150 movies that have made at least half a billion at the box office worldwide. You can find them listed here: https://www.criticker.com/?fl&filter=e21131. Of those, 58 are from 2012 or later, though of course the box office leader by a wide margin was released seven years ago, and second place nineteen years ago. There is one movie from the 1970s, two are from the 1980s, and thirteen from the 1990s.

For myself, I've seen 61 (so just over 40%) of the movies on this list. My top three tiers contain only two films from this list: nothing in tier 10, Inception in tier 9 and WALL-E in tier 8. My bottom three tiers, on the other hand, include 36 of the 61 movies I've seen that have earned enough to make this list, the four lowest scoring being: The Matrix Reloaded, Alice in Wonderland, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and, lowest of all, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Of the movies to have earned $500,000,000 that I am yet to see, the five with the highest predicted score according to Criticker are: Ratatouille, Up, Toy Story 3, Zootopia and, highest of all, Inside Out. Probably justified, but it is only on very rare occasions that I can be convinced to watch animation. Until the release of The Overcoat, that is.

Ratatouille and Up definitely belong there. The others, meh.

Měi Rén Yú, bet you can't say that three times fast. I've seen almost all of them and I do not wear that badge with honour.

I've seen 98 from the list and a good number of them I've scored below 50

I've seen 115 on the list of 150 (largest segments noticeably missing have to do with Harry Potter and Twilight), with only 24 being above average. The biggest anomaly is all Shrek sequels are there, but not the original which is the only one worth watching, thanks mostly to Eddie Murphy.

Oh yes, of movies on the list that I haven't seen, the four lowest predicted scores are all for members of the Twilight Saga. That includes two predicted scores of zero, which for me means that the ten closest users who saw the film all put it in their lowest tier. The highest prediction from among the four movies of which this series is composed was a score of 18, equal with the predictions for the most recent Transformers film, the Smurf movie and Fifty Shades of Grey. Again, these predictions are probably justified, even if they perhaps also reflect the gender bias at Criticker.

I've seen 106 (71%) of the films in this collection. Of those, 14 are in my tier 10 and 13 are in my tier 9. I suppose I should watch more from this collection, although the stuff that's left really does not appeal to me... (Fifty Shades of Grey, Twilight, American Sniper, Smurfs, Despicable Me, the Hunger Games films, etc)

I've seen 110 of them

Of the ones I haven't seen the only ones with predictions above Tier 5 are:

The Revenant
Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens
Zootopia
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Monsters University

There are a lot of movies I've seen in there that are Tier 8 or 9 but there are only 3 that I've given Tier 10 to:

Terminator 2 Judgement Day
Forrest Gump
Inside Out
