Yes, there are too many things that can be a variant when we do inflation adjustment etc. For example in the past no piracy, no dvd, no home entertainment etc. That is why people just flock it out to watch Gone With The Wind.
I dun think Gone With The Wind will sell the same number of tickets if it's release this year the same as Avatar.
And if we're saying Avatar got bigger BO numbers because of higher ticket price of 3D and IMAX, well let us wait until Alice comes out in March. Let see if Alice can reach 700M like what Avatar is going to reach next week
What ever all the haters said, Dances with the smurf, Pocahaontas or whatever , JC is still the King and he laugh his *** to the bank while haters cry their heart out with extreme hateness because they just can't comprehend why people keep going to the cinema watching Avatar again and again lol.
