We hear all the time about how much blockbuster movies make, but this statistic is irrelevant. You can't compair, for instance, the original Star Wars or ET to a movie that came out recently. The ticket prices are more than double what they were then. Does anyone know if there is a source for number of actual tickets sold and not dollar amounts? It would be interesting to see what the top ten most viewed movies of all time are.

You're amazing Mikeyboy! I was glad to see Titanic was down at 6. If they elliminated all the teenage girls who saw it 20 times, it wouldn't even be top 20. Of course, the same can be said of Star Wars. <img src="http://www.geocities.com/pauleight/pb_sig.gif" border="0" />KARMA ISThanks Monsterone for the sig!
