Why do blockbuster movies like Avatar and End Game have there success measured in terms of money made instead of tickets sold, wouldn’t that make it easier to compare to older movies without accounting for today’s dollar vs a dollar 30 years ago?

Wouldn’t really help for comparisons. There were a lot less people 30 years ago… Even less that could afford the luxury of going to theaters but if you disregard that, I think it would be easier to figure out inflation of a dollar vs the “inflation” of population. Think about it, 4.5 billion worldwide population 30 years ago vs 7.7 billion today.
