Adjusted for inflation... By theinnkeeper on 1/25/2010 4:29:52
PM , Rating: 4 Every time the $$$ come out for this movie I hear
people talk about how it's not a fair comparison if inflation
isn't taken into account. And that's fair.  Using that logic we
need to do some other calculations: What's the ratio of tickets
to population in US compared to Gone With the Wind (most ticket
sales ever)?  What's the ratio of ticket sales to other movies
in theaters while this movie is in theaters? There were a lot
less movies out during GWtW run. So it had less competition.
What about factoring in how many options people have to
entertain themselves? There are so many more forms of
entertainment now than then. Surely that has to be considered as
well.  Lastly, you can factor the ratio of cost to make vs.
ticket sales. This is important to movie studios.  Also, in 10
years this comment will inflate to a be a really good comment.
