Hes saying this for a couple of years now and hes right about it.
So come down!
I don't think George is right, if he understand the word 'inflation'
Movie tickets in 1980 were about 4 dollars compared to the PT days when they were between 8-10 dollars, so here is an adjusted inflations table where all the movies are on the same monetary scale:
ANH - 1.17 Billion ESB - 646 million ROTJ- 618 million
TPM - 558 million AOTC- 351 million ROTS- 390 million
And if you want to take the away the SE grosses that were tacked on in 1997, the OT movies STILL outgross all the PT movies:
ANH - 890 million ESB - 579 million ROTJ- 573 million
