The idiot who wrote this article did not adjust for inflation. This same mistakes happens every few years, when a new movie is wrongly called the biggest box office draw in history.

I don’t think it’s idiocy, just a cozy relationship between the film industry and the media that covers it. Stories like these drive sales.

“Number one of all time? Then I better buy the DVD”.

Yeah, thats always bugged me. Why not just count ticket sales? I guess because the desired result probably would not be achieved to create interest.

Actually, when one looks at the numbers adjusted for inflation, the story is correct. Jungle book was in at an adjusted 870 million.

Guess Disney’s looking for a little kick.

Adjusted, Frozen is at number 99.

When adjusted for inflation, Gone With The Wind was the first billion dollar box-office draw. A blockbuster by any definition, and I can only image the Hollywood accountants must have been dancing with unbridled glee.

“Global warming agenda?”

You got it. Although it’s reversed using cold. But the point is made that in order to stop human-induced climate change great personal sacrifice is required.

You are entirely correct. The number of tickets sold, not the total price is more telling. What was the ticket price when Gone With The Wind came out vs what they are today?

Sorry Calling BS on your post. I have seen the movie. There is no Eco agenda in it. Simple story. Sometimes,If you are a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Lol! That is WAY to Subtle.

I have seen the movie too, and even I didn't detect that theme in it.

Maybe we should all just....

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (as the film is officially known from Lucasfilm nowadays) is Number 2 all-time box office champion (when adjusted for inflation) for a good reason: it became a film with a lot of repeat viewers back in the days when the only place to see the movie was in the theaters (that's why it was a huge moneymaker for an amazing 15 months in theatrical release!).

We'll never get that today, thanks to modern ways to watch a movie at home (videocassettes since the early 1980's, DVD since 1997 and Blu-ray since 2006, along with legal downloads through iTunes and legal streaming sites like Netflix).

I had to listen to this chalkboard scratching movie on a bus filled with third graders on a field trip. The music is dreadful.

“Sorry Calling BS on your post. I have seen the movie.”

I’ve seen the movie too and I’m calling BS on your BS.

Please refute the movie’s premise that personal sacrifice was not required to restore the climate.

That is ~exactly~ the point Frozen makes. In fact it is the touchstone scene of the movie.

What sacrifice? Who died? Who, but the bad guy, lost anything? The Queen retained her title. The bad guy looking to cash in on the situation was dealt with. The good guys all lived happily ever after, and the snowman got his own personal biodome. Heck, even Sven got a new sleigh. The kindgom actually was better off having experienced the situation, as the gates were again open to commerce.

The sister suborning her own interest and shielding her sister from the rake’s sword is the sacrifice.

IOW, “in order to restore the climate we must place our own interests after others” which is pretty much what the AGW crowd preaches.

Also, how was the climate changed? By the unintentional actions of the princess. Like the petro giants she created the mess then fled to a castle built with her powers to avoid accountability.
