    Yes, adjusting for inflation and COL is always important when comparing monetary amounts from different years. Good call! Here's the woldwide gross for each Trek movie in adjusted 2002 dollars:
    ST1 - $370m (Highest)
    ST2 - $194m
    ST3 - $159m
    ST4 - $225m
    ST5 - $104m (Lowest)
    ST6 - $127m
    ST7 - $147m
    ST8 - $174m
    ST9 - $131m
    FWIW.
