Comments
In the general public, the success of a film mostly based on its box office earnings, ie, the revenue is measured at the box office. The majority of the current 100 most successful films comes from this century. That often run movies displace successful films of the previous years, largely due to inflation: So the average price was for a cinema ticket in the U.S. in 1939, the year of publication of Gone with the Wind, only $ 0.23, in 2009, the price at 7.50 U.S. dollars. Since Avatar - Pandora in 2009 triggered a new 3D trend to come for many major productions again some dollars as a 3D surcharge added.

Similarly, as a comparison of box-office over the decades by the general price level is distorted, is population growth to consider into perspective when comparing audiences. Thus, the population of the United States in 1950 included, for example, around 151 million people, while in 2010 were already 309 million people. The world's population grew in the same period from 2.5 billion to 6.8 billion. Accordingly, the number of potential moviegoers rose.
