then GONE WITH THE WIND will forever be the BIGGEST movie ever

star wars & TDK are from two completely different eras in regarding of filmmaking & movie marketing....also, star wars was RERELEASED over a decade ago which help it push this movie to the #2 spot in the 1st place!

we have long passed the those days in where movies can stay in theaters for ever, we're in the DVD/blue ray era in which affects how long movie CAN stay in theaters...along with many other tangibles such as downloading, for instance...

so the inflation arguement is sorta mute to me...same as the ticket sale arguement, when you have one movie that during its original release STAYED in theaters forever, and was RERELEASED for another 4 or 5 months a decade ago vs. another month that isn't EVEN finished its 1st MONTH!!

star wars been in theaters, combined, maybe between 9 months to a year whereas TDK haven't even finished its 1st month...so trying to make this arguement about the ticket inflation or ticket sales is silly!

the TRUTH of the matter is that star wars is at 460 MILLION and TDK is on the verge of surpassing that by next week...NO OTHER except for titanic have surpassed that number...fuck this talk about inflation gross and ect., if you really want to go there, then GONE WITH THE WIND is G.O.A.T.

but we all know all those movies came from entirely different eras and shouldn't be counted as equals...that's why people go off the domestic gross of today over the adjusted gross.
