I don't get how any one box office record is more important than any other. It's just measly numbers that bring no benefit other than bragging rights for fanboys.
How is that meaningful?
It's 'meaningless' because it doesn't fit the agenda the fanbois are pushing. There are way too many variables to compare box office runs, the exchange-rates, overall expansion of various markets, tickets prices, premium formats etc. That's why the golden number will always be #1WW record. Since, its going down fanbois have to peddle some more nonsense to stan for their favorite movies.
Folks at BOT will do tickets sold breakdown for each territory once EG run is finished, its far ahead of Avatar when it comes to number of admissions. So, that's another thing to consider.
