Yup. Gone with the Wind's release date was declared a state holiday in Georgia. Hitler had just strolled into Poland a few months prior but the movie is the only thing that really mattered stateside. It was released when TV did not exist, was re-released 8 times, took half a decade to reach its total, blah blah blah...
Normalizing these lists is impossible, so all there's left to do is just acknowledge the fact that JW has made $1.5B worldwide and that's a disgustingly large amount of money in absolute terms regardless of anything else.
