Thunderball outsold Skyfall, by a lot if I recall. Tickets cost a dollar in 1965 compared to $23 IMAX "experiences" in 2012.Kristatos wrote: Sun Oct 11, 2026 1:53 pmIt's based on number of tickets sold worldwide. More people went to see Skyfall in the cinema than Thunderball.Count_Lippe wrote: I thought maybe it was less expensive to go to the movies in the 1960s regardless of inflation, that you have to take this into account as well.

Edit: oh, that's odd. I just looked at the table again, and it says that the estimated number of tickets sold for Skyfall is lower than either Thunderball or Goldfinger. I don't know, in that case.

So Skyfall earned more money, but more people went to see Thunderball in the 1960s.

Which shouldn't happen in an inflation-adjusted chart. Unless the premium prices made the difference.Count_Lippe wrote:So Skyfall earned more money, but more people went to see Thunderball in the 1960s.
