Highest-grossing film at the global box office (inflation-adjusted)

Rising cinema ticket prices mean the all-time top-grossing movies are nearly all recent films. Although Gone with the Wind (USA 1939) took just US$393.4 million (then £88 million) at the international box office, in an inflation-adjusted list it comes top with a total gross of $3.44 billion.

The total was worked out by estimating the total number of tickets sold for a film and multiplying it by the average U.S. ticket price for the current year.
