The entire USA list is dominated by stuf from before the 80s, and full of pre 60s movies, its very very unrealistic to think any of these movies released today, with current ticket prices, multitude of entertainement avaliable and the fact ppl has less spare money because the amount ppl make did not follow how much stuf got more expensive and also the fact ppl have more bills to pay than they used to 30-40 years ago, would make anywhere near the million/billions they suposed would do with the adjustment to inflation. In fact the top 10 has only 1 movie from the 90s the rest is pre 90. Even Avatar wich was a absolute phenomenom, that had multiple re-releases is only 14 on the domestic box office adjusted to inflation list and 3rd on the worldwide one, considering that in the past movies would only release years after theyre American release on some select few markets worldwide, the Chinese market wasnt even a thing, the fact that Gone With the Wind with its inflation adjusted budget still made amost 3.9 billion (ye I was wrong about the 5 billion, big deal, 3.9 bil is so much more realistic...) is beyond retarded, adjusting anything to inflation dont work thinks sels as well or as bad as they sell cause they release on the time they released, if you change the context the result would also be very different.
