Technically, that makes it the most pirated movie ever as well

I remember when it was Waterworld.

Sea theme must be popular.

I think the movie John Carter is the movie with the greatest loss.

While it doesn't showing on the wiki page, I'm pretty sure on stranger tides grossed the least out of all the movies in the series. I think it's a decent movie, but it should have come out sooner.

If it's the most expensive film ever made unadjusted for inflation, wouldn't that make it by default the most expensive adjusted for inflation? Well i guess unless there's serious deflation?

The book is very, very different and unrelated to the movie franchise outside of some of its plot elements (iirc Disney licensed it way back when they made the original Pirates of the Caribbean film due to the fact that they were making a pirates-with-magic movie), but very good.

Not necessarily, an older movie could have been more expensive when adjusted for inflation even with a lower amount spent because a single dollar is worth less over time.

Just as an example, if a movie costed $1010 to make, and that was the most ever spent on a movie, adjusting for inflation a movie made 20 years prior that costed $1000 would be more expensive.

Sorry i know the wording is confusing but i think you flipped the order of operations i was talking about. I'm talking about if the movie made 20 years earlier cost 1010 to make, and the new movie cost 1000 to make. Inflation wouldn't matter in that case

Not in that case, but you were just asking if the most expensive film without adjusting for inflation would be the most expensive even when adjusting for it, which doesn't always have to be true.

No, it won't, because inflation rises over time. A hundred bucks a hundred years ago was worth more than 500 today, and that 500 is only worth 500. Even if the unadjusted cost is lower, depending on how far back it was made it could still cost more when adjusted for inflation.

That's not what I said. I said a hundred dollars is worth more than 500 today, but 500 today is only worth 500. So even though the cost before adjusting for inflation is lower for the hundred, after adjustment the price is higher. So what you originally were claiming is false.

Is it though? Cuz what I originally claimed aligns with literally everything you just said. I honestly think you're fucking with me at this point and I'm done with this conversation.

You claimed the exact opposite of what I'm saying, so you're either misunderstanding me or misunderstanding what you originally stated. It could very well be my fault if I'm not wording things in an easy way to understand.
