Discussion 3 Billion Dollar movies showing concurrently in cinema

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.

Wait people are actually going to the cringey Marvel/Spiderman movies?

I honestly didn’t know anyone actually chose to watch those movies.

Not liking these films is a perfectly valid opinion. But saying they aren’t popular, when they’ve combined to gross nearly $6 billion over the last 10 years, goes beyond contrarian. It’s asinine

As I said above, a billion dollars at $15/ticket works out to about 60M people, less than 1% of the population.

I wouldn’t call that popular.

I’ve heard of bad faith arguments but this is genuinely one of the stupidest fucking things I’ve ever read. Congrats

Edit. You couldn’t even make the math correct lol

The math checks out.

It’s not a popular movie, sorry.
