My my, how can I resist you?
And how much were cinema ticket prices back in 2008?
It probably took more than Gone With The Wind as well.
What an irrelevant piece of PR.

PR? Was it? I thought it was just a stat. Nobody needs to see “not adjusted for inflation” ad nauseam in box office reports.
And I know it’s more of a guideline than a rule, but if you want to make a box office comment truly inane then name-drop the 80 year old civil war melodrama.
