There's a very interesting and illuminating chart at Box Office Mojo, which I saw for the first time today. Before you go there, though, ask yourself this: what's the highest grossing movie of all time, when you adjust for inflation (i.e. put everything in "today's dollars")? The answer probably isn't what you think it is.
So now that The Dark Knight has taken over the # 2 Top Grossing spot (un-adjusted) behind Titanic (also, un-adjusted), pushing Star Wars to # 3 (yes, un-adjusted), it's great to see where each is on the inflation-adjusted chart. TDK is sitting at # 39, but I'm guessing it'll easily bust into the Top 30, and maybe even the Top 20, before it gets yanked from theatres in anticipation of the undoubtedly-huge DVD release.
