Anyone knows why Michael's Bad did not gross that high? What were the dynamics at that time?

I'm not sure but pretty much all of these concerts except one have been in the last few years, post-2005. So I'm guessing inflation has a lot to do with it. Just like how the top-grossing movies if all time are also from the last few years.
