This whole business about total gross is pointless due to inflation. The only true measure of a movies success is tickets SOLD. Not gross income.

Here is the top 10 domestic (US) records

1 Gone with the Wind
2 Star Wars
3 The Sound of Music
4 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
5 Titanic
6 The Ten Commandments
7 Jaws
8 Doctor Zhivago
9 The Exorcist W
10 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Dis.


inflation is only a way to compare film releases from different eras. You dont compare console's from different gens and adjust for inflation, or books, or cars, or really anything to be honest. I find it silly films are only put up against this silly measure.


We don't compare income for games though. We compare units sold... which spans generations. When people celebrate gross for movies, it's completely fictitious. In order to truly be "number 1", you have to adjust for inflation.
