Avatar - The Movie
saint:
It's the #2 grossing movie of all time and on target to reach #1 maybe. *someone* likes it. :)
Ginsu Victim:
Funny how it's only NOW that they decide to pay attention to the worldwide totals. Normally, they only look at domestic.
That's why people that thought Dark Knight was number two are currently scratching their heads. :lol
Ginsu Victim:
Don't forget that the prices are also higher per ticket because of 3D

Your point stands

Even taken at face value the point stands, but not for especially much. I didn't say nobody likes it. I said it isn't good. The Backstreet Boys have one of the top ten highest selling albums of all time. What does that stand for? Certainly that *someone* likes it. But I think few of us truly equate sales to quality except when it suits the argument.
If you want to stick closer to topic, 3 of the top 10 highest grossing films are Harry Potter films, none of which have been great, two of which were mediocre at best. The awful Spiderman 3 outgrossed the excellent Spidermans 1 & 2. Star Wars I: Phantom Menace utterly eclipsed the first three Star Wars movies that were released. The crappy Shrek 2 & 3 films are in the top 50, but the actually good original is nowhere to be seen. Independence Day is in the list. Wanna know which Indiana Jones film got high placement in the top 50? Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Wanna know which of the other Indiana Jones films didn't make it into the top 50? All of them.
Gross Sales != Quality

Your examples you just used are the same examples I use. I agree completely.
