I wonder if the box office earnings are adjusted for inflation.

A movie that sold a million tickets in 1982, and a movie that sold a million tickets in 2020 each sold a million tickets, but the 2020 movie's box office earnings will be significantly larger.

The data set I used in this case is not adjusted, if it were the list would be quite different (Gone with the Wind and A New Hope would still be at the top by a lot), so that would be an interesting one to run through at some point.
