applied to the main list I agree about your inflation related questions The list is basically just a copy of the one in Forbes linked to at the start of the list So whatever information Forbes provided about their calculations are what we have You re right about the sources but your reasoning is unfair Qutezuce The Lord of the Rings film should be considered as a package as Grutness says even though it was released in three parts If we were to use your criteria then War and Peace s figures would be different in the inflation adjusted list as this classic film was released in four parts during the 60 s There might be other movies in the lists which were released in more than one part and are being considered as a whole I suggest that the Lord of the Rings film trilogy be considered as a whole the same as War and Peace The fact that separate figures for the three are known wouldn t make any difference there s no reason to believe that separate figures for the four parts of War and Peace are impossible to reckon If these changes are done The Lord of the Rings film trilogy would be in first place in the not adjusted for inflation list with 280 000 000 I feel my arguments are strong enough to do this edition otherwise
