    Ticket prices are always going up and so is population size. Movies beating record sales always feels like a big nothing to me. Good movie though!

      And inflation. The Dark Knight is $745 million in this year’s dollars.

        That was my first thought. “Are those numbers adjusted for inflation?” Glad you did the math so that I didn’t have to.

      I feel like number of tickets sold, or maybe proportion of total tickets sold would be a better metric, but it’s way more fun to keep breaking records. Plus it’s mostly about the money anyways.
