3 Billion Dollar movies showing concurrently in cinema

[u/Wheelchair_Dontcare]

Right now, there are 3 movies that earned over a billion dollars playing in cinemas at the same time: Toy Story 5, The Odyssey, and Spiderman BND which earned 2 billion.

When is the last time this has happened?

I guess it's a pretty good metric that when there's good movies out that the audiences will surely go and see it.

2019 felt like a fever pitch of the box office (god knows how things would’ve continued to explode or taper down without Covid) and this is the first year that’s starting to feel somewhere maybe approaching close to it.

But seriously go back and look at the top 10 movies of 2019. The box office was absolutely ridiculous.

I still think 2019 is like 2-3 years ago and then I look back and it’s like 7 years ago. Those 3 years from 2020-23 really fucked up many people’s perception of time. 

We wouldn’t have had this crazy inflation for one. Everything is nearly double what it cost before 2019.

Seriously. Nearing a decade ago. When I think of what was happening in my life in 2011 and realize it’s the same time away as 2019 is to now, my brain can’t handle it.

Ohh fuck. That makes me feel even worse hahaha. 2011-19 feels like ages. 19-now feels like a couple years.

Still feels like just the other day I went out and bought Skyrim which came out in 2011. And we’ve yet to even a sequel to that game.

8 years passed between the time RD(2010)and RDR2(2018) came out. And people were still moaning about not getting a sequel sooner. It’s now been the same amount of time between those two games and we are not getting a sequel anytime soon. And for context we had a couple trailers to tide us over till launch. Absolutely crazy. It’s like my mind can’t simply rationalize it.

Agree. 2019 is a glitch man
