It crazy to see how much the animated studios in Disney have been killing it in the movie department since Snow White. That's an example of ageing well.
Birth of the Nation was an unbelievably racist film which is why you never see it anymore. It was popular because the US was so much more racist in those days. Simple as that.
Birth Of A Nation, was based on a book that basically stopped just short of glorifying the KKK. Was a Civil War tale. It was supposed to be “ historical”, but to D.W. Griffith’s horror, it was very one sided in many aspects. D.W.Griffith [ the Director] tried to portray the book. He knew it was to be controversial, but he got a bit over-involved in the “ Epic “, which it was, and overlooked the racism. He , himself, was NO racist, and because of the backlash, immediately released , “INTOLERANCE “, a movie showcasing man’s intolerance to man. The movie is still an incredible work - the VERY FIRST “Epic “ film ever made, fantastically acted, - especially by the late great Icon, Ms. Lillian Gish. Still worth watching, understanding the history, and background of its day. Mr. Griffith, said that the goal was to stay close to the book, a decision I will always regret. Ms. Lillian Gish said that he genuinely did regret it. If one watches this movie, they should also watch Intolerance, as well. 📻🙂
An adjustment I would like to see on Disney grosses is the dollar figure their films would have if they had the average percentage of adult vs. child tickets sold. Those huge numbers are even more impressive because so many admissions were at the lower kid's rate.
Amazing that Snow White can stay on the top position for 35 years and remain on the list for a total of 60 years. Then here comes Avatar which blows everything out of the water, taking the top position for a decade and ends up completely forgotten. They're a little too young now, but one day I'll be able to talk to my kids about Avengers, Star Wars, and Snow White, but they'll have no idea what Avatar is.
Meanwhile, Annabel Chong did "World's Biggest Gangbang" in 1995 for $10,000 and, word on the street is, _she never cashed the check!_ You talk about dedication! - j q t -
Yes, but because it portrays blacks as something less than whites (which is historically accurate for the time and place), it will disappear from existence soon, if it hasn't already.
Decent job, but it needs more work: 1. Need to use inflation-adjusted dollars to make sense. 2. Movies continue to earn revenue years after release, which is missing. 3. Missing The Wizard of Oz as an early hit.
The same thing happened with Star Wars Ep. I The Phantom Menace. Also, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone crossed the $1 billion mark after its re-release during the pandemic.
Within a few seconds I knew this was bullshit. There is no way in the universe a movie made 75 mil in 1915. I don't know where this data came from, but I have a feeling it is the total earnings over the last century, not just that year.
Adjusted for inflation: Birth Of A Nation : $460.9 MILLION [ as of 2013 - which is the latest data I found]. (( adjusted for inflation, Gone With The Wind, is the highest grossing film)).
Actually a very misleading list. Snow White made less than 8 million when released. It was re-released 10+ times over the decades, most recently in 1993. And it made ~420 million total across all releases. At no point in time was it actually the highest grossing movie. Older movies were often in theaters for years, or re-released regularly. Gone with the wind also made its money over many years as well. But at least it wasn’t continuous re-releases into the 90s!
@@geemac7267 lol! You sound like a proud graduate of trump university. Be sure to kiss your sister-wife before leaving for your next stop the steal rally.
Mr. Data forgot 1929's "The Blue Angel" (Germany) starring Marlene Dietrich grossing $350,000,000 the first TRUE 100% synchronized sound movie ever made and possibly the highest NETTING movie ever made after 1951's "D. O. A." shot in 9 days for $35,000 and netting at last tally $300,000,000. The FIRST re-make of "A Star Is Born" 1935-Technicolor Studios is also an extremely high grossing film with all the times it has been shown on TV in re-runs. Disney films make mega bucks from limited release. Snow White wasn't available for 38 years in ANY form to the public then the DVD sold for $49.95 as the "Golden Anniversary Release".
@@elliotcohen7781 Good point, but it still looks like it had several re-releases in movie theaters, and in middle was on tv so it still doesnt make sense
Maybe end on the final ranking, or at least pause 10 seconds or so? If you're ever remaking this particular ranking with future years, consider this: Grouping all the franchise with the same colour, and maybe group some movies with similar colors. Like various shades of one color for Disney cartoons and shades of another for Warner Bros. Not easy... Lots is Disney, but I'd give own colors to pirates (black), star wars (yellow) and marvel movies. Maybe start by reserving nice suitable colors for movies like avatar (blue), shrek (green), Indiana Jones (kaki brown), Jurassic park movies (greenish brown) and maybe gold for james bond movies? Whatever works for nice contrast.
Also, why not list the Release Year of each film on the color bar itself? It might be good to do one list for movies with actors in them, and another for animated films. - j q t -
Very misleading. Others, of course, bring up inflation, which gives a tremendous advantage to newer movies. There's also the money being made through re-releases, television and video formats, which balloons the performances of the Disney animated films. "Snow White," for instance, appears to earn its entire 418 million dollars upon its initial release. The reality was closer to about 1 percent of this, as the film's popularity over several decades, plus the inflation that took place over those decades, is the reason it dwarfs (pun intended) its competition in the late '30s. "Gone With The Wind" actually surpassed it, even though this video doesn't show this.
Adjusting for inflation - obviously would be a different view, but even the raw numbers tell an interesting tale. Parents sure do spend big keeping their kiddies entertained. The last movie I would consider worth paying to see was Terminator-2, which drops out of view in 2005. OK - Titanic had merit sure, although according to my 'subliminal theme' theory, a lot of Titanic fans remain unaware of how that film generates its magnetism.
@@Musicforever712 but in the moment when it was out it was talked being the most seen movie in history, does it mean it's only in America? Like they were saying it was breaking box office records I remember perfectly
@@jlahooper2496 Probably only in America, because the domestic gross apparently made up 60% of the total box office for this movie. I mean a movie making over $300 million domestically is no small feat even almost twenty years later.
Well, big deal. Hardly a fair comparison. Do it on the number of tickets sold. Gone With the Wind sold more tickets than any other film in history. And the population of the US was about 135 million then.
Thats only half true! Titanic has sold the most tickets on a worldwide basis then any other film! Gone With The Wind, however, has had about 12 re-releases in the US since it's release in 1939, has has sold the most in the US.
A meaningless list unless adjusted for inflation. My dad used to always tell me stories of going to the movies and buying popcorn all for ten cents when he was a kid. How much does that cost today?
Gonna go with 3 kids, and 2 adults. I’m going to say 90-110$ depending on where you live. I saw WW84 with my ex and he spent 58$ on two evening tickets his pop, my water and his trunk of popcorn.
Man I'm uncultured as fuck. I recognized many of them but never seen most of them before 80s. Where was wizard of Oz? Also, where these values adjusted for inflation, or all sales or just box office because some of those numbers were way higher than I remember seeing
From my perspective the vast majority of these movies are cartoons. (I classify heavy cgi elements as cartoons even though the generating medium is electronic.)
Yeah, movies for kids perform great in theatres. That's why pg ratings are so important. Movies that target teens perform even better, either to watch with friends or to bring your date to. Most are CGI heavy movies, those with little CGI are less likely to be blockbusters. Although so much visual effects (most?) are completely invisible!
Fantasy sells. Its striking that almost zero of the top-grossing movies in recent memory are grounded in any kind of reality. Outside the obvious exception, Titanic, we need to go back to late 80s to see any top-15 movies which try to create settings and characters that regular people can connect with in a realistic sense. Having said that, its clear that many many people do connect with these movies in deep ways. We all need to escape. I am a Star Wars and LOTR nerd myself, BTW.
Very interesting to watch, however I think it would be quite different if the dollar values were inflation adjusted annually. Is data available for viewership? I would bet that Birth of a Nation was seen by a greater portion of the population when it was released than most if not all of the current top ten.
Preacher Digger yeah just the United States, literally every where else in the world it’s called the philosophers stone which is what the author intended, she is British, it’s a British movie and we call it the Philosophers stone. They literally had to change it to Sorcerers because they knew Americans would not know what a philosopher is they had to dumb it down. So not a typo, it is the philosophers stone.
Too bad this list doesn't include how much dollar is worth. It would be nice to see such list with gross shown in eg. Number of avg salaries or weight of gold.
Not a fair comparison unless it is converted constant dollars. Comparing the number of tickets sold would be a better. We know how much a movie ticket cost for each year. Easy calculation.
Hmm. Are these figures inflation adjusted? Even so, habits change. Maybe a more representative metric would be as a % of the entire box office value during the period the movie was earning box office returns. ie "Movie A" earned 12.6% of all of the box office takes around the world during the time it was on release.
Time value of money. Where is the date at least on these films. My parents bought their house in 1968. When they died in 2000 the house was sold for £750,000. You work it out.
It should be assessed by ticket sales or bum's on seats, not money grossed. What was the cost of a cinema ticket in 1920 compared with 2020? Some of these compilation list's are way off the mark.
The problem with this is, alot of films are crap but you can't come out of a cinema and ask for a refund, there is a lot of trash out there, it doesn't mean because a film made alot of money, its any good!
Pretty sure they don't make TV revenue in that sense for this movie. It's a Wonderful Life actually lapsed into the public domain allowing it to be broadcast without royalty or licensing fees.
This is certainly one of the all time favorite films. But it only made $3.3M on a budget of $3.18M. I would argue it has aged better than any movie ever made. Avatar probably holds the opposite record.

The problem with this is, alot of films are crap but you can't come out of a cinema and ask for a refund, there is a lot of trash out there, it doesn't mean because a film made alot of money, its any good!
1939 no Wizard of Oz?
Both Gone With The Wind and Oz came out at the same time.
With inflation adjusted Gone with the Wind would be on top.
It's a wonderful life didn't make the list? I wonder if they included the T.V revenue over the years how others would stack up.
Pretty sure they don't make TV revenue in that sense for this movie. It's a Wonderful Life actually lapsed into the public domain allowing it to be broadcast without royalty or licensing fees.
"It's A Wonderful Life" was savaged by the critics when it first came out.
This is certainly one of the all time favorite films. But it only made $3.3M on a budget of $3.18M. I would argue it has aged better than any movie ever made. Avatar probably holds the opposite record.

Did anyone notice Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was miss titled?
Movies like gone with the wind still earn money 50 years after but on your chart they don’t !?
Frankly, I guess he just doesn't give a damn. - j q t -
