THE 10 MOST SUCCESSFUL FILMS OF ALL-TIME (WHEN ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION)
A countdown of the Top 10.
Frozen just became the fifth most successful film of all-time, edging its way past Iron Man 3 and sitting behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, The Avengers, Titanic, and box office king Avatar. But if you adjust the figures for inflation, it’s a very different story, Avatar coming in at a still respectable 14 and Frozen further down the list at 101.
So what then makes the real Top 10? What are the films that the whole world was watching before the Marvel Cinematic Universe existed and before we’d heard of places like Hogwarts and Pandora? The lovely people at BoxOfficeMojo have adjusted the figures for inflation and worked out the real winners, meaning that the most successful films of all-time based on domestic grosses are actually the following...
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Adjusted Gross: $888,350,000
The industry thought Walt Disney was mad when he decided to make an animated feature based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale back in 1937, with movie insiders calling it ‘Disney’s Folly’ during the film’s lengthy production. But Uncle Walt had the last laugh, with Snow White charming critics and audiences alike, receiving multiple re-releases, landing Disney an honorary Oscar, and eventually being named one of the AFI’s greatest American movies. The success of the film inspired the studio to make more animated features, so without Snow White there’d be no Dumbo, no Bambi, no Peter Pan, and ultimately no Frozen.
9. The Exorcist
Adjusted Gross: $901,383,200
In the modern ‘Hot 100’ horror films are few and far between, with Jurassic Park and the Twilight films featuring their share of scares, and The Sixth Sense – at number 72 – the only out-and-out horror. But adjust the figures for inflation and film phenomenon The Exorcist makes the cut at number nine. And deservedly so, with William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel one of the greatest fright flicks of all-time. The tale of a mother’s effort to rid her 12-year-old daughter of the demon that’s possessing her, the film inspired sequels and prequels as well as countless homages and knock-offs, but the original remains the best – a genuinely scary movie that terrified audiences around the globe.
8. Doctor Zhivago
Adjusted Gross: $1,011,704,000
While the reputation of many of the features on this list has grown since release, Doctor Zhivago’s seems to have faded somewhat, but it’s still one of the most successful films of all-time. Based on the novel by Boris Pasternak and directed by British master David Lean, the film is a sweeping romance that’s set during WWI and the Russian Revolution. Omar Sharif plays Yuri Zhivago, whose romance with Julie Christie’s Lara Antipova captured the imagination of cinema-goers in spite of the film’s length, sentimentality, and simplistic depiction of historical events. And even though Zhivago was banned in Russia until 1994, it made a fortune everywhere else.
7. Jaws
Adjusted Gross: $1,043,842,400
Jaws is the film that announced Steven Spielberg’s arrival on the world stage while at the same time changing the industry forever. A ‘high-concept’ flick before that marketing phrase even existed, the film revolved around a great white shark attacking the fictional coastal resort of Amity Island. The director famously had a torrid time with the film’s mechanical shark, meaning that it’s rarely seen during proceedings. But that minimalist approach, combined with John Williams’ brilliant score, made the film almost unbearably tense and turned it into a must-see masterpiece. Considered the first summer blockbuster, it’s still arguably the best.
6. The Ten Commandments
Adjusted Gross: $1,067,650,000
Biblical epics were a Hollywood staple in the early days of celluloid, and there was even a Ten Commandments film – directed by Cecil B. DeMille – way back in 1923. A bigger budget and an improved special effects convinced DeMille to have a second stab at the story – this time in VistaVision – and it was a good job he did as this 1956 version made an absolute fortune. Charlton Heston is at his imperious best as Moses, while audiences were blown away by the onscreen spectacle, most notably the parting of the Red Sea, which still impresses today. CONTINUES

5. Titanic
Adjusted Gross: $1,104, 116,900
Titanic is the highest placed film of the modern era, but much like Snow White, pundits predicted that it would be a disaster thanks to the production running massively over budget and schedule. But, if Hollywood has learnt anything over the last 20 years, it’s to trust in James Cameron, and here the writer-director proved undeniably right in his determination to turn the 1912 tragedy into a blockbuster. Cameron’s genius was to not only utilise cutting-edge special effects to bring the story to life, but to use it as the backdrop for the tale of star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose, turning Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet into global superstars, and breaking the hearts of moviegoers worldwide in the process.
4. E.T. The Extraterrestrial

Steven Spielberg’s second film in the Top 10, he also has features at numbers 16 (Jurassic Park) and 20 (Raiders of the Lost Ark), making him the undisputed king of the inflation-adjusted box office. And E.T. is pretty much a perfect movie, the director skilfully tugging at the heartstrings to craft a film that’s guaranteed to leave no dry eye in the house. The tale of a boy and his friendship with an alien that’s been stranded on Earth, events unfold from the youngster’s point-of-view, so children watching could empathise with the lead character, while adults could be transported back to a more simple time in their lives. That universal appeal helped it to sit atop the American chart for much of 1982, with the film achieving similar success worldwide on its initial run and through multiple reissues and rereleases.
3. The Sound of Music
Adjusted Gross: $1,160,685,300
Hills Are Alive
00:48
Based on a remarkable true story, The Sound of Music was first a bestselling book – The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp – and then a Broadway hit, before being turned into one of the most successful films of all-time. The story of a family’s escape from the Nazis is gripping, Julie Andrews is beguiling as Von Trapp, but the success of The Sound of Music has just as much to do with the soundtrack, which features Rogers and Hammerstein classics Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain, Do-Re-Mi, My Favourite Things, and – of course – the beloved title track.
2. Star Wars
Adjusted Gross: $1,451,674,700
A long time ago in a galaxy pretty close to home, George Lucas wrote a script that was inspired by Flash Gordon and Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress. Nearly 40 years on that story in turn has inspired sequels, prequels, toys, comics, cartoons, books, video games, and much, much more, making billions of dollars in the process. But that original feature is still a watershed moment for movies, with Star Wars single-handedly turning round the fortunes of 20th Century Fox (the studio’s stock price doubled weeks after the film was released) and becoming the benchmark against which all blockbusters are now measured.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and originally released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length cel animated feature film and the earliest Disney animated feature film. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed the film's individual sequences.
Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937, followed by a nationwide release on February 4, 1938. It was a critical and commercial success, and with international earnings of $8 million during its initial release briefly assumed the record of highest-grossing sound film at the time. The popularity of the film has led to it being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s. Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top ten performers at the North American box office.
At the 11th Academy Awards, Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar, and the film was nominated for Best Musical Score the year before. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry and is ranked in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, who also named the film as the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008. Disney's take on the fairy tale has had a significant cultural impact, resulting in popular theme park attractions, a video game, and a Broadway musical.
Plot
Snow White is a lonely princess living with her stepmother, a vain and wicked Queen. The Queen fears that Snow White's beauty surpasses her own, so she forces Snow White to work as a scullery maid and asks her Magic Mirror daily "who is the fairest one of all". For several years the mirror always answered that the Queen was, pleasing her.
One day, the Magic Mirror informs the Queen that Snow White is now the fairest in the land. The jealous Queen orders her Huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. She further demands that the huntsman return with Snow White's heart in a jeweled box as proof of the deed. However, the Huntsman cannot bring himself to kill Snow White. He tearfully begs for her forgiveness, revealing the Queen wants her dead and urges her to flee into the woods and never look back. Lost and frightened, the princess is befriended by woodland creatures who lead her to a cottage deep in the woods. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes the cottage is the untidy home of seven orphaned children.
In reality, the cottage belongs to seven adult dwarfs, named Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey, who work in a nearby mine. Returning home, they are alarmed to find their cottage clean and suspect that an intruder has invaded their home. The dwarfs find Snow White upstairs, asleep across three of their beds. Snow White awakes to find the dwarfs at her bedside and introduces herself, and all of the dwarfs eventually welcome her into their home after they learn she can cook and clean beautifully. Snow White keeps house for the dwarfs while they mine for jewels during the day, and at night they all sing, play music and dance.
Meanwhile, the Queen discovers that Snow White is still alive when the mirror again answers that Snow White is the fairest in the land and reveals that the heart in the jeweled box is actually that of a pig. Using a potion to disguise herself as an old hag, the Queen creates a poisoned apple that will put whoever eats it into the "Sleeping Death", a curse that can only be broken by "love's first kiss", but dismisses that Snow White will be buried alive. The Queen goes to the cottage while the dwarfs are away, but the animals are wary of her and rush off to find the dwarfs. Faking a potential heart attack, the Queen tricks Snow White bringing her into the cottage to rest. The Queen fools Snow White into biting into the poisoned apple under the pretense that it is a magic apple that grants wishes. As Snow White falls asleep the Queen proclaims that she is now the fairest of the land. The dwarfs return with the animals as the Queen leaves the cottage and give chase, trapping her on a cliff. She tries to roll a boulder over them, but before she can do so, lightning strikes the cliff, causing her to fall to her death.
The dwarfs return to their cottage and find Snow White seemingly dead, being kept in a deathlike slumber by the poison. Unwilling to bury her out of sight in the ground, they instead place her in a glass coffin trimmed with gold in a clearing in the forest. Together with the woodland creatures, they keep watch over her. A year later, a prince, who had previously met and fallen in love with Snow White, learns of her eternal sleep and visits her coffin. Saddened by her apparent death, he kisses her, which breaks the spell and awakens her. The dwarfs and animals all rejoice as the Prince takes Snow White to his castle.
