I already knew about

Spoiler

Gone with the Wind.

The movie came out in 1939 and wasn't shown on TV until 1976!!!!

I paid 20¢ to see it at the Bainbridge Naval Base, (Bainbridge, Maryland) in 1965!!

Is that worldwide gross or just North America?

Domestic (North America)

Top 200

Re: Top 100 Grossing Movies of All-Time (Inflation Adjusted)

I've seen every movie except 6 on that list. I remember a few years ago (and i'll spoiler this in case anyone doesn't know about the details)

Spoiler

A few years ago it was said that Titanic had surpassed GWTW but thankfully that looks to be a bunch of bullocks!

Re: Top 100 Grossing Movies of All-Time (Inflation Adjusted)

Hopes "The House of Wax" is the original and not the Paris Hilton version!!!

Re: Top 100 Grossing Movies of All-Time (Inflation Adjusted)

Avatar is only so high because pretty much 90% of the people that saw it paid double for the IMAX 3D. I usually pay $5 a movie, I think I paid $13 to see it.

[JayBee74]

Re: Top 100 Grossing Movies of All-Time (Inflation Adjusted)

I'm surprised

Spoiler

From Here To Eternity

didn't make the list, not even in the Top 200.

Another great war picture

Spoiler

The Best Years Of Our Lives

comes in at #73. It made $23 million in 1946. An inflation adjustment puts it at over $436 million.

The numbers I don't understand.

Spoiler

From Here To Eternity

grossed $30.5 million in 1953, yet the inflation adjustment comes out to a healthy $240 million, great numbers, but well outside of the Top 200.

So $23 million in 1946 is almost2X>$30.5 million in 1953?

Possible, since your dealing with stats just after WW2, but that's some serious inflation.
