They count in the big picture or don't count and we factor in movie money only like you wanted. Either way Harry wins, kid.

Star Wars isn't bound by the main character's name being in the title.

Same thing happened to Star Wars. Same thing will more than likely happen here but who knows. Potter will be back.

A boy can dream his dream.

They predate the HP movies, so they don't count as part of the movie franchise.

A New Hope adjusts to 1.4 billion domestic alone.

Would Star Trek in any way count? Because there's the old movies, the old TV show, the new TV show, the spin-offs, and now the new movies. Not to mention the serious amount of Trekkies and the huge amount of money made by buying/making costumes, auctioning off "retro" props... etc. etc.

I decide what counts and it either all counts or just movie made at the box office. By your own reasoning Potter wins if we just look at the box office. Just try to be more clever when it comes to your trolling. You're slipping.

Quanchi doesn't understand the concept of inflation and prices. I tried letting him know on page 6, but he rage ignored. What he does when he can't grasp something

"Produced with a budget of $11 million and released on May 25, 1977, the film earned $460 million in the United States and $314 million overseas, surpassing Jaws as the nominal highest-grossing film and remained that way until being surpassed by E.T. the Extra Terrestrial in 1982. When adjusted for inflation, it is the second highest grossing film in the US and Canada and is the third highest-grossing in the world as of 2012"

The 774million is in 1977 dollars. As I said, you don't understand inflation. 🙂

We don't adjust for inflation. The only fair way is total dollars made in each category. Potter wins at the box office and collectively when we factor all properties despite a 30 year head start.

if the books don't count for HP considering they came before the movies, then that takes away $7.7b from the franchise total, dropping it down to $16.3b.

-made claim that you adjusted for inflation-

-proof shown that you didn't adjust for inflation-

-cry that we "don't adjust for inflation"-

Stop embarrassing yourself.

also, George Lucas' net worth somehow got factored into that total for Star Wars... subtract that nonsense ($3.5b) and Star Wars is at $23.5b

in his defense, it was my claim. I was looking at two different sources and got mixed up.

Yeah, the $775m wasn't adjusted.

The books count as does everything or its just movie dollar vs movie dollar. It has to be fair.

The websites don't do so which give this data. The website also doesn't factor in amusement park revenue.

Potter wins both ways.

😂

Does it just eat you alive ?

Which is fair enough if he had the balls to say "ah, okay, I see the error" after being shown he was wrong, but he goes on to embarrass himself further with "we don't adjust for inflation" now claims. Cos it ruins his "HP win!!!!1" ranting.
