I feel like this is a list showing ticket price inflation more than popularity. Where is the list that ranks them by number of tickets sold?

  • 1. Gone with the Wind (1939) 202.3 million tickets
  • 2. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 178.1 million tickets
  • 3. The Sound of Music (1965) 142.5 million tickets
  • 4. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) 141.9 million tickets
  • 5. Titanic (1997)136 million tickets

Tickets are cheaper meaning you can sell more.

Accounting for different time periods is impossible.

That’s true. I did t think of that. I wonder if there is a calculation that can even that out.

It’s called “adjusted for inflation” on boxofficemojo.com that basically just ranks movies by number of tickets sold

Is the price of a movie ticket today the same as the price of a movie ticket was for Gone With The Wind when adjusted for inflation?
