New Box Office Record every week

This is getting ridiculous. There's a new record every week. All you have to do is release your movie in 4000 theaters and you break the last record.

Are they going to compare apples to apples? What were ticket prices for the Original Star Wars and how many theaters did it release in?
 
How did they adjust it? I see that Spider Man 2 is #50 on there but wouldn't the only real way to adjust it be to take average tickets sold per theater and then baseline it to something like 1000 theaters or whatever the min is for the top 100?

That list doesn't take theater counts into account since it is an all-time list.

Your theatre count theory blows. Its true, but shouldn't matter. You cant read to much into the numbers. Adjusting for inflation is good enough. Movie records are retarded anyways. They dont make a movie good.
 
Here's my question: What was the last huge blockbuster that was not based on previous material? As in, it is an original story.
 
"Star Wars' opening day totaled $ 254,309 from just 32 theaters."

I'd say the number of theaters makes a big difference since that's $8000 per theater on opening day in 1976 prices.

X-men 3 did $9600 per theater in today's prices.

Movie ticket prices for Star Wars was $2.23 a ticket. Today a movie ticket costs $8.50-$9.50
