Top 10 ﬁlms—in constant dollars

I was at Charlie’s Vox blog where he lists the top opening weekend grosses of Hollywood films but I wondered how it might look in constant 2008 dollars.
I didn’t find that on Google, but one blogger did work out the top 10 films based on revenue in constant 2005 dollars. The conclusion: the best films are the oldies, but in the early days we didn’t have TV and, later, video–DVD sales.

Rank in Const $	Title	Const 2005$ Revenues
1	Gone with the Wind	$2,759,101,083
2	Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs	$2,498,993,041
3	Star Wars	$1,472,637,907
4	Bambi	$1,223,775,595
5	The Sound of Music	$1,001,314,638
6	One Hundred and One Dalmatians	$987,096,774.2
