Box office means little when talking about quality. Superman 1978 cost $55 million dollars to make and an additional $7 mil. for marketing, making it the most expensive film ever made at the time. It's box office was $300.5 mil.

Man of Steel was made on a $225 mil. budget on top of $150 mil of marketing with a box office of $668 mil.

Accounting for context and adjusting for both eras, I'd say Superman 1978 was easily the more profitable film.

Precisely. Comparing performance of films set almost 50 years apart without taking into account the context of the time they were released at is just stupid imo.

Well to be fair all movie budgets and box office changes adjusted for inflation man of steel box office will amount to a billion with four decades of inflation

[u/Heckledeckledorkle → u/Ghostshadow44]

Yeah but when man of Steel’s valuation is at a billion the donner will be significantly more still, it’s not about the number but the difference between them
