Jaws 2 (1978 Film)

Copyright Āc 2007 Ed Bagley

Many viewers think "Titanic" is the greatest movie of national extrapolation of all time, mainly because of his immense popularity as well as topping $ 600 + dollars in revenue after its release in 1997.

In fact, the Titanic was the biggest movie of national extrapolation in real dollars, with Star Wars distant second at $ 460 + million in 1977. Because money talks, but not only sing and dance as well in our society, we remain impressed by large amounts of money. Not satisfied with this approach, I sought a more accurate measure of comparison and found in the adjustment for inflation. After adjusting for inflation, the real value of earning money movie takes a new look.

Titanic, while No. 1 in actual dollars generated, is only No. 6 after adjusting for inflation.

The No. 1 greatest movie real extrapolation of national history in video production is other than "Gone with the Wind", which reported $ 198 + million in 1939, but its value adjusted for inflation currency today is 1.329 billion dollars (1.329 billion +).
