Spielberg is credited with inventing the blockbuster...but Gone With the Wind is still the best selling film of all time, right?

Yeah exactly, like I said elsewhere,I think it's the fact that it begins the pattern carried over by Star Wars etc that's important. No Star Wars, no pattern, no concept of "blockbuster".

It's notable because the reason GwtW's record is so ridiculously high is that it's the "blockbuster" of a different kind of era Back in the day they would give GwtW a re-release every ten years, where it would top the box office each time as a "tradition"

In its initial release in 1939 it was released as an advance-screening roadshow for like six months all over the country (charging double the normal ticket price at theaters) before its actual opening in wide release in 1940
