A real blockbuster is not just the money it made, it's a culture. I believe that a film is tagged blockbuster when people can no longer stop discussing the film, using the film as a quotation and watching that film repeatedly.

A movie is rated blockbuster if it hits the market, the proceeds of the movie. If the movie earns millions among rivals during the simultaneous showing then the said movie is adjudged blockbuster.
