[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1331791, member: 3570"] [url]http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted/[/url] Isn't it amazing to think that Star Wars' equivalent earnings in 1977 would translate to a 2004 movie making a [i]billion[/i] dollars at the box office [i]domestically[/i]!? That would be high by about 15-20% or so to account for the 100 million dollars+ earned in the SE rerelease but still... Puts it into perspective vs. the runaway success of ROTK's 330 million and counting. If Raiders of the Lost Ark was released today and sold the same amount of tickets now as in 1981 it would gross 531 million dollars! Second in earnings only to Titanic! Ooooh, Spider-Man made 400, and with 10 times the screenings. People used to really love going to the movies. Obviously DVD's have changed the figures a lot (and probably put current releases on par with films from the past when you combine the theatrical and home sales) but Titanic earned its adjusted 779 million in an era prolific with home entertainment. I wonder if we'll ever see that again, with audiences flocking to see films on the big screen for up to a year at the first run theaters. EDIT: Oh, and check out the adjusted earnings for The Exorcist. Ain't that just a little creepy? ;) [/QUOTE]
