HOLY CARP!!!

Seems like the movies are breaking "box office records" almost every other year. I'm just wondering... how much if it is "inflation," accounting change, or some other reasons than "more people are watching the movies." Is there inflation-adjusted box office statistics? Is there ticket sales statistics? Or ticket sales measured as fractions of population? Just curious. |

Ax, it's a good question. Here are some all-time records (opening, day, weekend, total gross, etc)...including a category of "adjusted for inflation": http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/ |
