I'll take your word on that one

I don't believe you. I'm guessing that people really won't want to expand your next spoiler tag.

Like we were not already afraid to do that...

I looked. It's not THAT horrifying. (it's pretty amusing)

Avatar is now the #5 All Time Domestic Box Office Grosser.
Wow! I don't think it will dethrone Titanic, tho.
But who knows.

Considering that many people are paying up to $15 a person to see it, I'm not surprised it's up there.

Here are the top films adjusted for inflation. Revealing. Gone With The Wind still tops out, with over a billion in today's dollars and two hundred million tickets sold in 1939! Impressive!

I'm happy to see Rocky Horror on the adjusted list at #45 - It was a very modest production with hardly any studio support or expectations, but I think it succeeded not just because of the novelty of the audience participation that grew around it, but because the music kicked ass, and still does. I think it is the songs that have made this one timeless - that and the perfect casting. (It isn't the story, dialogue or pacing, heaven knows) I know kids now who love it even more than I did back in the (gulp) 70s and 80s.

Also, I wonder if Star Wars would retain the number two spot without counting the Special Edition release.

I'm pretty sure that the list only counts the release of the original Star Wars in '77 and doesn't account for the re-release. I could be wrong, but that's the way I read it.
