[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5430085, member: 6667746"] Sadly you have to adjust for inflation in prices, and such since tickets didn't cost $10 back them to figure out how much and what all that really means. IMDB at one time had those figures and Gone with the Wind was still the highest grossing film of all time (at about a quarter a ticket compared to $8 per today domestic), it may be behind their pro service right now so maybe boxofficemojo or somewhere else might have those adjusted figures without a paywall if you are interested. Also you are already looking at worldwide box office, so that price would be a LOT lower than $10 per ticket since it includes extended runs on $1 theatres, other countries it was released in. AHA! Adjusted gross for ticket price inflation..... [url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm]All Time Box Office Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation[/url] 1 Gone with the Wind MGM $1,606,254,800 14 Avatar Fox $773,179,400 This can only be for domestic, as ticket prices all over the world aren't exactly tracked that closely not is their currency.... D&D might reach an Avatar status sometime, but will NEVER be the Gone With the Wind of hobby entertainment. The numbers are fun to see and play with though. [/QUOTE]
