While Avatar, The Lion King and Titanic might have the highest movie grosses of all time, when adjusted for inflation, and per actual number of movie tickets sold, the movie box office numbers speak a much different language.
#1. "Gone With The Wind," after adjusted for inflation, would have earned $1.3 Billion at the Box Office during its theatrical run. Frankly, we don't give a damn.
#2. We have the George Lucas masterpiece "Star Wars," yes, the first one, released in 1977, at number two on the all time "adjusted for inflation" list. With $1.139 Billion.
#3. Julie Andrews, no lie, is in the third spot, after we adjust for inflation, $911 Million.
"E.T." is constantly fighting "The Sound of Music" for the #3 "adjusted for inflation" spot at the box office. And we're sure it will overtake the movie sooner or later, especially if it gets a much anticipated re-release in 2012 for its 30th Anniversary! Yes, it's only 6 years away! Tick, tock!
And where is "Titanic," the "Highest Grossing Movie Of All Time?" Not even in the Top 5, after adjusted for inflation. Check out the link below for the list of the Top 100 movies adjusted for inflation.
