Don't get me wrong, gone with the wind doing the equivalent of 2billion domestic is INSANE, but considering it was either go to the theatre or listen to the radio, it wasn't competing with so many other forms of entertainment for bucks and you couldn't wait until it came out on iTunes to see it.

Depends what question you want answered. Most watched movie in theaters is what I want to know. Another interesting one would be tickets sold plus downloads/blue ray/vhs sales. I want to use the info as a measure of a cultural phenomenon.
Why do you care about dollars? What question are you trying to answer outside of what made the most money.
