Highest-grossing films adjusted for inflation
Inflation rates around the world vary, complicating inflation adjustment.
Because of the long-term effects of inflation , notably the significant increase of movie theater ticket prices, the list unadjusted for inflation gives far more weight to later films.[ 51] The unadjusted list, while commonly found in the press, is therefore largely meaningless for comparing films widely separated in time, as many films from earlier eras will never appear on a modern unadjusted list, despite achieving higher commercial success when adjusted for price increases.[ 52] To compensate for the devaluation of the currency, some charts make adjustments for inflation, but not even this practice fully addresses the issue, since ticket prices and inflation do not necessarily parallel one another. For example, in 1970, tickets cost $1.55 or about $6.68 in inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars; by 1980, prices had risen to about $2.69, a drop to $5.50 in inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars.[ 53] Ticket prices have also risen at different rates of inflation around the world, further complicating the process of adjusting worldwide grosses.[ 51]
Another complication is release in multiple formats for which different ticket prices are charged. One notable example of this phenomenon is Avatar , which was also released in 3D and IMAX : almost two-thirds of tickets for that film were for 3D showings with an average price of $10, and about one-sixth were for IMAX showings with an average price over $14.50, compared to a 2010 average price of $7.61 for 2D films.[ 54] Social and economic factors such as population change[ 55] and the growth of international markets[ 56] [ 57] [ 58] also have an effect on the number of people purchasing theater tickets, along with audience demographics where some films sell a much higher proportion of discounted children's tickets, or perform better in big cities where tickets cost more.[ 52]
The measuring system for gauging a film's success is based on unadjusted grosses, mainly because historically this is the way it has always been done because of the practices of the film industry: the box-office receipts are compiled by theaters and relayed to the distributor, which in turn releases them to the media.[ 59] Converting to a more representative system that counts ticket sales rather than gross is also fraught with problems because the only data available for older films are the sale totals.[ 55] As the motion picture industry is highly oriented towards marketing currently released films, unadjusted figures are always used in marketing campaigns so that new blockbuster films can much more easily achieve a high sales ranking, and thus be promoted as a "top film of all time",[ 53] [ 60] so there is little incentive to switch to a more robust analysis from a marketing or even newsworthy point of view.[ 59]
Despite the inherent difficulties in accounting for inflation, several attempts have been made. Estimates depend on the price index used to adjust the grosses,[ 60] and the exchange rates used to convert between currencies can also affect the calculations, both of which can have an effect on the ultimate rankings of an inflation adjusted list. Gone with the Wind —first released in 1939—is generally considered to be the most successful film, with Guinness World Records in 2014 estimating its adjusted global gross at $3.4 billion. Estimates for Gone with the Wind ' s adjusted gross have varied substantially: its owner, Turner Entertainment , estimated its adjusted earnings at $3.3 billion in 2007, a few years earlier than the Guinness estimate;[ 61] other estimates fall either side of this amount, with one putting its gross just under $3 billion in 2010,[ 62] while another provided an alternative figure of $3.8 billion in 2006.[ 63] Which film is Gone with the Wind ' s nearest rival depends on the set of figures used: Guinness had Avatar in second place with $3 billion, while other estimates saw Titanic in the runner-up spot with first-run worldwide earnings of almost $2.9 billion at 2010 prices.[ 62]
Inf Inflation adjustment is carried out using the Consumer price index for advanced economies published by the International Monetary Fund .[ 65] The index is uniformly applied to the grosses in the chart published by Guinness World Records in 2014, beginning with the 2014 index. The figures in the above chart take into account inflation that occurred in 2014, and in every available year since then, through 2022.
A1 The adjusted gross for Avatar includes revenue from the original release and all four reissues. The original release and 2010 Special Edition grosses are adjusted from the Guinness base year, whilst the 2020 and 2021 grosses are adjusted from the 2021 index and the 2022 gross from 2022.[ 66]
TFA The gross for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is adjusted from the 2016 index.

The industry was stunned when Star Wars earned nearly $3 million in its first week and by the end of August had grossed $100 million; it played continuously throughout 1977–1978, and was officially re-released in 1978 and 1979, by the end of which it had earned $262 million in rentals worldwide to become the top- grossing film of all time – a position it would maintain until surpassed by Universal's E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial in January 1983.
