Top Ten Domestic Movie Grosses Adjusted for Ticket-Price Inflation

From the January 29th Chicago Tribune.

On my other blog, I listed the Top ten Domestic Grossing movies by actual ticket income. http://downdaroadigo.blogspot.com. Of course, this would rule out earlier movies. To get a better of idea of the top grossers, the Tribune also ran this list.

1. GONE WITH THE WIND-- 1939-- $1.48 billion
2. STAR WARS-- 1977-- $1.31 billion
3. THE SOUND OF MUSIC-- 1965-- $1.05 billion

4. E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL-- 1982-- $1.04 billion
5. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS-- 1956-- $963 million
6. TITANIC-- 1997-- $943 million

7. JAWS-- 1975-- $941 million
