When a movie sets records at the box office, should they be based on the number of tickets the movie sells or the amount of money it makes? For instance, people that went to see Star Wars paid a LOT less per ticket than people do today. But if you go a web site like Boxofficemojo.com, they adjust ticket sales for inflation.
Something like Star Wars, that made about 400 million during it's releases (more than one release) into theater, would clear over a billion if the same amount of tickets were sold at todays prices. While a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" would drop from the third highest "grossing" movie in the U.S. to 47th comparitively.
So should these records be based on the numbers of tickets sold, instead of the revenue from expensive ticket prices?
