General concensus to any chart that fails to take inflation into account is that it is near meaningless.

Still good curio value.

Claiming a new Box Office smash always drags a few million more of the brain dead morons of the world into the cinema.

Any post that assumes that the only thing that changes over time when it comes to movies is inflation is near meanginless.

In other words, inflation isn't the only thing that's changed over time.  Gone with the Wind was released in a market vastly different from ours.  For every issue someone takes with Avatar, there's on that can be taken with Gone with the Wind.  There was much less to do back then in terms of entertainment.  There was no internet to torrent movies from.  Far fewer movies were released, and virtually none were released that were on the same level as Gone with the Wind for a LONG time.  I could go on.  Get the point? 

Errr not sure whats upset you so much, but yeah I get the point. I'm not too sure you did though ?
