US Box-Office All-Time Adjusted for Inflation

With rising ticket prices, recent films tend to do much better on "all-time box office" lists. When adjusted for inflation, we get a much better sense of the number of "eyeballs" that actually paid to see the film. (Who knew the cartoon 101 Dalmatians would get all the way to #11?)
