Well it’s not something I like so what arbitrary metric can I use to dismiss this accomplishment?

Ugh, there's that mean-spirited, "let's assume the worst about people" attitude I hoped we left at reddit.

I'm a cinephile with an interest in film history and I want to know where the new film stands on this list.

If it knocks out Gone With The Wind, that has real implications not just for cinema history, but as an indicator of the health of the movie theater industry.

I also stated that I want to see the film, so assuming I'm trying to "dismiss" it isn't reasonable.
