Well according to two sits I checked it is number 26 after adjusting for inflation. So it is popular yes, but by far not the greatest box office champ. Gone With the Wind and Star Wars have sold about 3 times as many tickets. And in fact, from number 25 to 50 there is not all that much difference in number of tickets sold. So in reality it fits right along with some very average movies. Really not all that impressive. Last edited: Jan 25, 2010

Box Office Mojo: Still champ is "Gone with the Wind," which grossed $400 million worldwide in 1939, now worth at least $6 trillion in today's dollars. Last edited: Jan 25, 2010

I will now get to see it in all it's restored glory.
