Adjusted for ticket-price inflation

This is a list of films ranked by ticket sales with adjustments for changes in ticket prices and/or inflation.

For films released in 2019 or earlier: Box Office Mojo tracks average ticket

et prices at theaters from 1910 to 2020.[6] The list here starts with their "Adj. Lifetime Gross" based on 2020 ticket prices,[7] and then applies Template:Inflation to further adjust to the equivalent in 2025.[8]

For films released in 2020 or later: This list starts with the film's lifetime gross,[3] and then applies Template:Inflation as if the entire lifetime gross was earned in the year of release, to further adjust to the equivalent in 2025.[8]

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. [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 daily reporting,[4] and allots half of it to its lifetime domestic gross, as well as one-eighth of a 2024 reissue with seven other Spider-Man films and one-third of a 2025 reissue as a triple feature with Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, for a total of $408,524,875. The Numbers reports a $4,052,137 gross from the 2002 reissue and does not include multi-film reissues in its lifetime gross.[5]
