Tell The-Numbers website that you are right and they are wrong:

1) Bambi Domestic Release Date Aug 13, 1942
Production Budget $858,000
Maximum Theaters 1,489
Theatrical Engagements 5,707
Domestic Box Office $102,797,000
Domestic Box Office Inflation Adjusted $3,335,446,057



They are wrong. They've been known to be wrong before.

Put $102,797,000 into any inflation calculator from 1942 and you won't come anywhere close
to $3 Billion.

https://www.calculator.net/inflation-calculator.html?cstartingamount1=
102%2C797%2C000&cinmonth1=13&cinyear1=1942&coutmonth1=2&coutyear1=2025&calctype=1&x=Calculate#uscpi


Based off of the CPI.


And once again, you're completely neglecting the fact that there were 6 wide releases for
Bambi over the span of 46 years, and the majority of the money it made was after the 1942
release and wouldn't have inflation numbers derived from the value of the dollar in 1942.

And so is Bruce...

Quote:

2) Bambi Theatrical Performance
Domestic Box Office $102,797,000
International Box Office $165,203,000
Worldwide Box Office $268,000,000

Legs: 14.24 (domestic box office/biggest weekend)
Domestic Share: 38.4% (domestic box office/worldwide)
Production Budget: $858,000 (worldwide box office is 312.4 times production budget)
$858,000 * 312.4 = $268,039,200



Bambi in no way grossed 312.4 times the production budget. BECAUSE of the nature of inflation,
the vast majority that it earned in theaters was after 1942 (not with inflation value,
but the number they stated that it made lifetime gross).

You can't compare the 1942 production budget to money it was making decades upon decades
later without doing inflation adjustments every single time and call that a legitimate
comparison.

I don't blame Bruce for this because if he made interventions every time something weird
like this popped up, he'd probably break his website. But it is incumbent upon the reader
to use their Critical Thinking skills to know what really happened.

You are not only incapable of that, but you don't even understand what the concept is.

You are a very stupid person. Go bother somebody on your level.

Disney's Snow White grossed an estimated $16.0M domestically on Friday (from 4,200 locations), including Thursday previews.

And once you subtract the $3.5 Million in previews, you're left with only $500,000 additional to what Blacktain Anti-America managed to pull in on Preview Thursday.

This movie is bombing harder than anyone imagined it would.

I already did, stupid. And I already explained to you why that is meaningless because of the 6 wide releases over 46 years that they don't account for. It is simply impossible to know how much money Bambi actually grossed in 2025 dollars unless somebody can find us a breakdown of how much money it made every time it was released.

Go back and read it and learn about inflation or shut the fuck up. I'm finished with your idiocy on this topic.


... and I'll also take this reply as you immediately dropping the argument that Bruce is right and I was wrong.

Because Bruce IS wrong.

6ixStringJack, you have no numbers, no reputation, not even a real name — unless your name is Jack — but you claim to know what you can't know. I forgot to say that EVERY Trumptard I know claims to have knowledge they obviously lack. It seems to be a character trait of Trump and his voters.

Bruce IS wrong.

Inflation on this movie's Domestic Take, if you're ONLY calculating everything based off of 1942
which in and of itself is over a BILLION DOLLAR MISTAKE, is over $1 Billion less than The-Numbers
claims that it is.

https://www.calculator.net/inflation-calculator.html?cstartingamount1=
102%2C797%2C000&cinmonth1=13&cinyear1=1942&coutmonth1=2&coutyear1=2025&calctype=1&x=Calculate#uscpi


The actual inflation adjustment is $2,012,311,187.36. NOT $3,335,446,057 like Bruce claims.
ANY Online Inflation calculator that uses the CPI will give you my number.

And beyond that, nobody has calculated for inflation vs. the 5 other times it was released
over the course of 46 years, and that final figure is presented as if all of that theater
gross came from 1942 when it didn't.

If you have an argument with me about Math or how Inflation works, I'm all ears.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up. You are so beneath me.

You have no information, no data, 6ix. You are pulling numbers out of your ass than multiplying by inflation which means you have nothing and know nothing. 6ix, you are bloviating, which is very Trump of you.

I've used the numbers that Bruce provided and then I ran them through multiple inflation
calculators which all give the same number that's more than a Billion less than Bruce claims.

I do have information. I've provided said information.

You are simply too stupid to understand it.

Go talk to the retards on Twitter.

Here's something interesting...

"Hey Google AI! How much did Bambi make per theatrical release?"

Quote:

AI Overview
Learn more
"Bambi" initially lost money upon its 1942 release but, through re-releases and international sales, it earned a worldwide gross of approximately $267 million.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Initial Release (1942): The film was not initially successful, and Disney lost money on its first run.

Re-releases and International Sales: Over time, through re-releases and international distribution, "Bambi" became a major financial success for Disney.
Worldwide Gross: The film's worldwide gross is estimated to be around $267 million.
Domestic Gross: The domestic gross is estimated to be around $102 million.
International Gross: The international gross is estimated to be around $165 million.
Production Budget: The estimated production budget was around $858,000



Oh... So it initially LOST money for Disney in 1942. Thank you Google AI. You've been most helpful.

That makes the inflation adjusted numbers for this much, much worse than I originally assumed it would be.

I'm going to see if I can dig up actual numbers and if I can find them we'll settle this thing once and for all.
