Which are the most successful films of all time?

AVATAR, James Cameron’s epic 3D sci-fi movie will go on general release around the world on Friday December 18th. The film reportedly cost over $300m to produce, making it one of the most expensive films ever. Such spending, however, is no guarantee of box-office success. A list of the highest-grossing films in America (adjusted for ticket-price inflation) reveals that “Gone with the Wind”, which cost just $61m to make (in today’s prices), made the most money. Avatar is expected to collect over $150m in its opening weekend alone. Mr Cameron seems to have a magic touch; “Titanic”, the most recent blockbuster on this list, is another of his films.
