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

Ironically GwtW running up the box-office gross score stopped in 1971, four years before Jaws created the new "summer blockbuster" model (that depended on "trans-media" coordination with TV advertising etc) GwtW's next "re-release" was finally being televised on NBC on 1976

So you have to take these changing consumer habits into account when calculating how "popular" a movie objectively is, like no movie could possibly have a similar box office gross to GwtW today because buying tickets to movies has shrunk so much as a portion of spending generally
