there are only 27 films in all of history that have done over 1 billion worldwide. itd be huge and hugely unlikely to have just 1 film in a lifetime make a billion.[/quote]
Not that flyer needs my help but I think he said $1Bn in revenue, not just box office sales. Films also make money in other ways like product licensing/merchandising, broadcast rights, DVD/ Home Video sales, etc.. Also he didn’t say what he did and indicated he was part of a group. That group could be a large company like Dreamworks, or Miramax, or MGM.
Also, I don’t think it’s hugely unlikely to have 1 film in a lifetime make a billion. I would like to see the list and see how many of those were within my lifetime.
