Anyone having any luck finding this? Here is the official site, with links to 2 video files, but I can't get either of them to work: https://www.si.edu/object/siris_arc_219032. They have also posted a one minute clip to their youtube since the announcement, so maybe the entire footage isn't available online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDo9l1TxOFY
@spartacus007 You are correct, I could have sworn I read it on boxofficemojo the other way around at one point; must have been a misread. Although there is still estimation involved in all of this, this makes this list even more impressive than I previously thought! Thanks for the correction.
@blueboybob All that being said, I think this list is a good representation of popular movies throughout the history of Hollywood, I just wouldn't give the ordering and numbers any credence.
This list is extrememly flawed, giving a gigantic bias to older films. The problem with this list is that it includes all money earned, including theatrical rereleases (which were common before home video), but bases inflation off of year of release. For example, Snow White has earned $184 million, but $118 million of that was earned after 1983. But the adjustment assumes all tickets and dollars are 1937 prices and dollars, and so this total is way, way, overinflated. The estimated tickets sold for Gone With the Wind on this chart are 202 million, yet there were only 130 million people alive in the United States in 1939. While I believe it was a huge phenomenon, I doubt every person in the US saw it once, and 72 million saw it twice, including all children and babies.

For people in LA area, the Academy will be screening this on January 18th, with live organ accompaniment. Plus, tickets are only $5.Toplist comment on Box Office Mojo's All Time Adjusted Box Office

Interesting list, but not many of these movies are new to the site.
