Movie grosses, adjusted for inflation

I have this thing about raw numbers, because inflation exists, and the rest of the world exists!

Top Grossing Films of All Time in the U.S. Adjusted for Inflation

Gone with the Wind
Star Wars
ET
Titanic
Jaws

and the rest of the world exists! Top Grossing Films of All Time Worldwide (sadly not adjusted for inflation)

Titanic
Return of the King
Pirates of the Caribbean 1
Harry Potter 1


Messy but useful page about inflation

(I stuck it in [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda's journal, but wanted to share more.)

Thank you for this! I always growl when the latest lame offering at the cineplex has "the Highest Grossing Weekend Take Evar!!1!" & wonder what the real ranking is....
