Episode II Surpasses $116 Million at Box Office

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-kinda-cash-buys-a-lot-of-wookies dept.

Domasi writes "The Force is with George Lucas again as the fifth installment of the Star Wars saga, 'Attack of the Clones,' took in $116.3 million in its first four days and to become the second-fastest film behind only "Spider-Man"." Spider-man is better. But I plan to see both of them again.

    They obviously aren't figuring inflation into this number. Wouldn't it be a little more accurate to list how many tickets were sold instead? Then the numbers could be compared against movies from years ago when it only cost $2-$4 for a ticket.

    I think it's BS to say that "Movie X" is the biggest money maker of all time when movies used to cost 30% of what they do now.

    A quick search on Google picks up a number of places that rank movies according with grosses adjusted for inflation:
