#20 Undeniable Fact About TPM «

#20–Adjusted For Inflation, Only One Film Released Since TPM Was More Popular

According to Box Office Mojo, TPM is the #21 biggest film of all time adjusted for inflation. All but one of the remaining 20 films are older films, most of them by several years. The only film released since TPM that ranks higher is “Avatar,” and that’s by “Avatar”‘s slight adjustment from 2009 vs. TPM’s adjustment from 1999, just over a $100 million difference. (The unadjusted grosses are about $340 million apart.) However, consider that not only normal inflation accounted for “Avatar”‘s higher unadjusted grosses but also theaters simply charging more money for IMAX and 3D screens. Granted, those higher prices are going to help TPM in its re-release as well but it is a reminder of just how immensely popular TPM was during its original run. Don’t let the revisionists change the facts.
