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

The thing that made Spielberg and Lucas seem like miracle workers was making a movie that became a "must-see" property that everyone had to flood the theaters for on opening weekend within a relatively short time with little foundation

Hence the -- perhaps unfortunate and unfair -- focus on the FX spectacle leading up to those movies that leads to them being remembered as pure spectacle "You've GOTTA SEE what they did with the shark" "You've GOTTA SEE how he did the spaceship battles and the laser swords"

GWTW was pretty new...only 3 years between novel pub and film.

Yeah but you still had the novel and perhaps stars driving the box office sales, not the director or producers directly themselves.
