I guess so and inflation threw off my intuition since the rate keeps accelerating. Cleopatra in '63 for 31 million would be over 301 million today in inflation adjusted dollars, and avengers in 2012 at 220 million would be over 318 million today. It’s staggering how much less a dollar is worth today than just 12 years ago.
