Why would anyone use domestic only numbers? |
There is no place that has very accurate data for adjusting movies for inflation world wide since studios use dollars for the most part and not total ticket sales. That and adding the various rereleases many of the top movies have had, makes the acuracy of those numbers harder to gage. While box office mojo does adjusting for inflation very well.
Furthermore have you looked at what wikipedia had for top 10 worldwide adjusted vs box office mojo has for domestic adjusted? 9 of the 10 movies are the same. 6 of them in the same order, with Avatar and Titanic higher on the international list and Jaws and the excorsit being lower. Were the international list exctended to more than 10, I'm sure there would be many more star wars movies in the top 20.
