Depends on how the conversion is done. If they take the numbers in all countries in a particular year, convert them to USD at the rate applicable in that year, inflation adjust that number, then add them together, the result you get is roughly good for inflation adjusted worldwide gross. Other methods may be less valid.
- kend0g187 17y agoTaking the top movies in adjusted domestic gross, dividing by their non-adjusted domestic gross, and then multiplying that ratio by their worldwide gross, you get: 1. Gone with the Wind - $3.04 billion 2. Titanic - $2.34 billion 3. A New Hope - $2.24 billion 4. E.T. - $1.93 billion 5. The Sound of Music - $1.92 billion 6. Jaws - $1.73 billion As of this post, Avatar is 2.05 billion and climbing. Will it be the most watched movie of all time worldwide (in theaters), or will Gone with the Wind retain its dominance? *Data taken from boxofficemojo.com.
