Adjusted for ticket-price inflation

This chart ranks films by gross adjusted for ticket price inflation up to 2020 levels, based on data from Box Office Mojo, which was last updated in 2019 based on an average domestic movie ticket price of $9.01, and applying the Template:Inflation for the following years up to 2023 levels, due to the lack of updates on the original source.[7] It was compiled by multiplying the average ticket price in the current year by an estimate of the total number of admissions. Where the number of admissions is unknown, they are estimated by dividing the nominal gross by the average ticket price in the year of release to provide an estimate (taking re-releases into account).[8] Admissions better reflect the popularity of older films, since they are less susceptible to the effects of inflation.

Many of the films on this list were released prior to the availability of home video and have had multiple releases.

Factors in determining "adjusted gross"

No one yet has calculated a truly precise and definite referential adjusted gross for a film, since doing so would have to take into account most (or all) of the following:

  • Box office gross on initial release
  • Ticket price at time of release, or its relative price to other commodities in a given year,[10] in relation to general inflation and gross domestic product.[12]
  • Economic conditions that may help or hurt the entertainment industry as a whole (theaters in 2008 lowered ticket prices to attract more viewers though the average ticket cost $7.00)[10]
  • Population at time of release—to be used to calculate:
  • Availability of films (number of theaters and screens, number of prints)
  • Competition of other media (television, internet, home video, film piracy)[10]
  • Total number of films in the marketplace at a given time[10]
  • Screen quotas (no influence on U.S. box office)
  • Price differences: matinee and evening tickets,[13] roadshow tickets,[13] or difference between rural and urban cinemas[12]
  • Length of release (number of weeks)[13]

Further explanation of issues with calculating an adjusted gross can be found in the article for List of highest-grossing films.

Notes

  1. ^ Spider-Man grossed approximately $4 million from September 6–15, 2002, as a double feature with Men in Black II. Box Office Mojo incorrectly reports the domestic gross of this reissue as $6,632,970, even though it has the reissue grossing $3,971,552 by its own weekend reporting,[5] and allots half of it to its lifetime domestic gross for a total of $407,022,860. The Numbers reports a $4,052,137 gross from the reissue and does not include it in its lifetime gross.[6]

  11. ^ Box Office Mojo's inflation adjusted list estimates Avatar sold 97,309,600 tickets by dividing the gross revenue by the cost of an average ticket, which was $7.50 in 2009. However, in the case of Avatar, ticket sales were a combination of the three formats of standard projection, 3D and IMAX used during its theatrical run. Since box office admissions are not tracked, the total number of admissions cannot therefore be accurately determined simply by dividing the gross receipts by the average ticket price. Box Office Mojo revised its estimate by taking into account the ticket prices for all three different formats, and determined that Avatar sold 75 million tickets by April 21, 2010, with an average price of almost $10 a ticket, by which time it had grossed $745 million of its $760 million total.[9] An extra $15 million of sales would be equivalent to about 2 million more ticket sales, at the average 2D ticket price of $7.50 in 2009; using this revision, Avatar probably sold closer to 77,000,000 tickets.[10]
