If you don't adjust for inflation, this is a rather useless exercise. #1 adjusted is Gone With the Wind, and #2 is Star Wars. Both grossed over $1 billion in present dollars. Passion will very well be the #1 movie this year, but it won't be the #1 movie of all time, at least not this year. It may keep playing around Easter that it might make it eventually, but probably not.

Would you be willing to bet Dick Morris a New Yoak stake dinner? Never mind, I don't want the focus to leave the Passion :o)

I think we have to throw out residual sales. Can we do a comparison according to first year box office?

Thanks. Pretty silly if they don't account for inflation.
