Explanation

When adjusted for inflation, "Gone With The Wind" consistently ranks as the highest-grossing film in domestic box office history. The film's original run and re-releases generated enormous ticket sales that, when calculated in today's dollars, exceed modern blockbusters. Modern hits like "Star Wars" and "Titanic" have impressive nominal grosses but don't match inflation-adjusted records. The key is that older films had much lower ticket prices, requiring more sales to reach revenue milestones.
