@@favoree-io You should redo this with the money being inflation adjusted for today's prices. It will look a lot different with some older movies staying at the top of the list for way longer. The problem with these types of monetary lists is that more current releases will always make more money per ticket by as much as 3 times or more, depending on how far back one goes. Titanic, for example, would still be at the top of the list at well over $4 billion. It might not be #1, but it probably will be. And E.T. would be in the top 5 to 8. You cannot take into account all such issues like population increases and an increase in international releases, but inflation is an easy one.
titanic was such an earth shattering movie when it came out. Everyone came out of the theatre excited and many even in tears. It was the talk of the school yards and the girls with obsessed with Leonardo Decaprio. I remember even older people that never went to the movies were going just to watch it.
@ ok, but just because a teenager can watch something, that doesn’t strip any maturity from it, the six 2 billion dollar films all have bits of comedy in them, but they take themselves seriously when it comes to the main plot. And speaking of 1979, a lot of people could argue that Star Wars is considered childish because of how fantastical it was.
It didn't. The data in this video is quite wrong. Titanic only hit 1.85ish Bil ww in 1997/98. Not over 2bil. That was only hit by Avatar a decade later
@@jozdundar you're right and wrong. Avatar was the first to hit $2 billion but re-releases since (namely on the 100th anniversary of real Titanic's tragic disaster). Have since put it over the $2 billion mark.

@deepnaverma2189 Gone with the Wind is the highest Grossing movie of all time allowing for inflation, then Avatar, Titanic, Star Wars with Endgame 5th.
@@deepnaverma2189 Actually Gone with the Wind would easily take number 1 spot if we adjusted to inflation and no other movie would even come close to it. No Titanic, no Avatar, not End game.
Doubtful and since Disney owns both franchises, they have no interests for such. Besides aside from inflation, one also has to take account the number of theaters world wide. There were lot more theaters to support release of Endgame in 2019 than there were in 2009 when Avatar released. Plus Avatar was brand new franchise, Endgame was the finale of story of characters and the many of the actors who played them, so taking all that into perspective Avatar's success was by far more impressive anyway. Plus I remember how ppl were trashing Avatar 2 before its release, saying it would make no money as everyone had forgotten about Avatar...look how wrong those fools were 🤣
For the record, just about ALL the hit movies for the past 25 years or so are cartoons or anything aimed at an infantile audience. THAT is the world we live in.
These newer movies make more money because they cost a considerable anount more to watch or own. Adjusted for inflation, Titanic might still be number 1.
Notice as you get into the 2000s & beyond, the movies keep getting shittier and shittier. Mostly animated stuff for kids and superhero crap for nerds/dorks
I think James Cameron is the best movie maker out there since 3 of the top 4 of best selling movies are his and all 3 of his movies are some of my favorites to watch 🎉
Glad im not only one who thought Force Awakens was crap. I already thought so back in 2015 and got so much "hate" about it when I said it was boring remake of New Hope

What would be much more informative would be how many tickets were sold for each of these movies. An example would be how much was each ticket in 1977 vs the actual number of sold tickets, then compare the number of tickets sold for the movie Ghost in 1990. This is a better idea of how successful each movie was vs how much each movie made at the box office. Remember movie tickets in 1977 were being sold at much cheaper prices then tickets sold in 1990 and much, much cheaper than today.
I think the titanic has not been surpassed, since the films released after have a tangible advantage over the Internet and online cinemas, so such a comparison is not correct
I do like the video but would also like to see a list that accounts for inflation. Like how big are movies like gone with the wind on this list. I know that is subjective because of travel and accessibility.
IMDB has such list (even though they are just estimates) and Gone with the Wind would dominate that list with estimation of 4,34 Billion worldwide adjusted for inflation. Avatar would be 2nd and Titanic 3rd (yes even with inflation adjusted Avatar made more money than Titanic). Star Wars: New Hope would be 4th above EndGame that would be on 5th place
Among the Top movies from 2024 there is ONE that I might wanna see, one day. But... it is not very high on my priority list. Low level entertainment has taken over. Quality cinema really died long ago. Good that we have a bunch of great series nowadays.
12:03 "...nowdays TWELVE out of 15..." - one can clearly count ELEVEN out of 15 🙂 ...or, which is yet easier, count four (not three) rows without arrows 🙂
There are worldwide estimates for example on IMDB. And ye GWTW is unbeatable, its the only movie ever that has made over 4 billion dollars when adjusted for inflation (estimated). And this is from time when world population was much smaller, let alone the number of theaters worldwide.
i wonder what this list would look like throughout years adjusted for inflation, would Avatar win against Titanic, or E.T.? and other such details... I mean I understand it is difficult to do that very precisely because of the continuous earnings of movies by selling rights to television and streaming networks so for older movies you have to take into account their initial earnings not adjusted for inflation, but i wonder if we would bring them all to todays money worth what would it look like. Guess it's a good idea for the next video. 😀
Ye, but even when adjusted for inflation (in 2024's money) Avatar would still be on number 2 spot. Gone with the Wind would be on number 1 spot and likely will stay there forever
Also Lion King did not gross that much in its initial run. Nor did it have a major re-release from '01 to the beginning of '04 It had a small one I believe in 2002 for only Imax and a major one in the 2010s
Without cgi these films wouldn’t be anywhere. Back in the day when scenery & prop builders & stunt men & locations had a massive impact on a films and a budget that wouldn’t pay a “ stars” wages now, that’s when movies were great. They make movies in weeks all on computer. 👎
Titanic is also wrong. It did not gross over 2 Bil in 1997. It was a record holding 1.8 for years until avatar came along. It was a gold standard ww milestone every international film was held to for over a decade and that gross was super well known
True, its really hard for movies to make the kind of money they made prior to Covid pandemic. I would say both new Avengers movies have every chance to make well over billion, but to reach Avatar? Nah, if even Avatar sequel couldnt make it I doubt new Avengers movies will either, especially considering how much on down trend Marvel movies have been on recently. I would be willing to bet both movies could potentially get somewhere between 1.5 and 2 billion.
Very few movies after 97 interested me. I still never seen Titanic and still have no interest. Feb 2010 is filled with movies I've either seen once (4 of them) or have zero interest in seeing at all.
I don’t like this way to measure. It doesn’t tell you what was most successful unless standardized in today’s dollars or one point in time. Or just do Ticket sales!! Why don’t they do ticket sales??
BOY you can see the state of cinema derail as soon as the studios took over, in the 90s the quality started to drop. In the 2000s we have a few Auteurs manage to keep decent quality while trying to compete with the remake slop of the Studios. in the 2010s Marvel is the nail in the coffin as Studios discover that Audiences will eat whatever super hero universe they are fed. The 2020s bring hope as a few lucky Auteurs have managed to survive the carnage of Big-Money slop studios have vomited over the last ~15years. I think a few Auteurs have better learned the delicate tightrope that is tying to be somewhat daring while not scaring the studios. (Del Torro, Nolan, Villanueve, Tarantino, Peele, Eggers, Gerwig) Although most of these people are stuck making Re-makes and Adaptations of existing work, because the studios hate risk.
Yeah. While love the design of this video, but some of the data unfortunately is just plain wrong. At the very least, Return of the Jedi is missing Majing just over 250m in 83 before its first re-release. Even Ep3 is missing in 2005. While closer to the bottom of the list at 850m ww, it would be in it
Since your list does not account for inflation, it looks like Jurassic park outsold ET, but it didn't. The value of the US dollar changed by 50% from 1982 to 1993.
Ofc. Thats why there exist lists of adjusted for inflation, although worldwide numbers are just estimates. Anyhow one thing is clear that the one movie that made most amount of money both in US and world wide when adjusted for inflation was Gone with the Wind. Its the only movie to have made over 4 billion dollars when adjusted for inflation. Also two other things heavily favour newer movies: world population + number of theaters around the world. Ofc such things cant really be calculated/adjusted.
Fun fact, Jack Nicholson was paid $67m for his role as Joker in 1989. Adjusted for inflation, this would be the equivalent to $170m today.
Wow! Was it because the movie was successful or they paid him upfront?
That’s way too much money
He was paid $6 million up front. Plus a percentage of the box office and merchandise.

@@favoree-io Honestly i also feel like the list would be less interesting if adjusted for inflation because things just wouldn't move much
BOY you can see the state of cinema derail as soon as the studios took over, in the 90s the quality started to drop.
In the 2000s we have a few Auteurs manage to keep decent quality while trying to compete with the remake slop of the Studios.
in the 2010s Marvel is the nail in the coffin as Studios discover that Audiences will eat whatever super hero universe they are fed.
The 2020s bring hope as a few lucky Auteurs have managed to survive the carnage of Big-Money slop studios have vomited over the last ~15years.
I think a few Auteurs have better learned the delicate tightrope that is tying to be somewhat daring while not scaring the studios. (Del Torro, Nolan, Villanueve, Tarantino, Peele, Eggers, Gerwig)
Although most of these people are stuck making Re-makes and Adaptations of existing work, because the studios hate risk.

the phumbnail looks like potter
Yeah. While love the design of this video, but some of the data unfortunately is just plain wrong.
At the very least, Return of the Jedi is missing Majing just over 250m in 83 before its first re-release. Even Ep3 is missing in 2005. While closer to the bottom of the list at 850m ww, it would be in it
Since your list does not account for inflation, it looks like Jurassic park outsold ET, but it didn't. The value of the US dollar changed by 50% from 1982 to 1993.
Harry potter❤
I don’t like the commentary, I’m trying to take in all the visual information and the commentary is taking away from that
Then turn your sound down genius
Where is Return of the Jedi…1983?!
Why did you do this listed not even adjusted for inflation? It doesnt prove they are top grossing, only that modern movies cost more to go see.
I like your video. But we are not getting to fresh ideas. Hollywood is washed out of good ideas.
Im rewatching classic tv and movies.
would not newer movies have the advantage as movie prices are so different from 20, 40, 60 years ago ?
Ofc. Thats why there exist lists of adjusted for inflation, although worldwide numbers are just estimates. Anyhow one thing is clear that the one movie that made most amount of money both in US and world wide when adjusted for inflation was Gone with the Wind. Its the only movie to have made over 4 billion dollars when adjusted for inflation.
Also two other things heavily favour newer movies: world population + number of theaters around the world. Ofc such things cant really be calculated/adjusted.
No listing for Return of the Jedi nor Gladiator? Shameful
Numbers are wrong. In 1983, ROTJ outdid 1980's TESB, yet ROTJ isn't even o. The chart. Failed research.
Inflation matters!
