​@@gkoymnbxykfb Yep, it was going to be called "Nocturnal Fears". It's funny because "E.T." began life as a possible horror movie called "Night Skies," which was, at one time, a genuine sequel to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and then grew into more of a spiritual successor as the horror elements grew. Thankfully, Spielberg changed his mind on it while doing "Raiders," and with the help of Harrison Ford's then-girlfriend (later, wife), they came up with the "E.T." we know and love. And thankfully, they ditched the sequel idea. Spielberg wisely realized a sequel would diminish the ending of the original.

Spielberg being on this list so often really speaks a lot about his incredible career

In this video I'm using domestic revenue for all movies up to 1980. The worldwide numbers from this period that are publicly reported through box offices are calculated in a different manner than later releases. Unfortunately it's impossible to combine them as I did in my previous videos without skewing final results into their favor. Sorry, a new hope fans.

Definitely sheds some light on why developing franchises has become such a big thing, and why certain directors are in high demand. Take Spielberg for example, during the 1980's and 90's, dude basically couldn't fail. Or even M. Night Shyamalan, with the sixth sense, and why so many studio's have tried to bank on him despite box office duds. I think the biggest surprise was nothing from Nolan showed up on the list.

Cameron, Lucas and Spielberg. These 3 names dominate the top 10 charts.

Watched E.T for the first time about 37 years ago. Still one of my absolute favorites. Wonderful movie.

The god father was a massive hit! Then came ET , you have to be a teen when that movie came out to know how big it really was. The Star Wars franchise takes the cake though.

good luck bro ❤👍 very good

Happy new year!

Taking this AAALLLLL the way back, how would films like Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz fare? Love this… it was nice to see a couple stalwarts from the ‘70s hold on as long as they did. And E.T.?! Unreal :-) On a somewhat personal note, it’s very interesting that based upon the success of Star Wars VII, that neither of the subsequent Disney Star Wars films make the top of this list, though I’m guessing that VII and Rogue One aren’t far behind Harry Potter at the bottom.

*Gone with the Wind* sold twice as many tickets as Avatar. Draw your own conclusions.

So in the last 5 decades, the 2010s, dominated by the MCU, was the only decade where a movie didn't claim top all time grossing. Got it.

Dustin Hoffman must have been a very bankable star. Notice his movies appearing without being big budget action movies. Kudos to Harry Potter franchise as well. Kudos to James Cameron and Steven Spielberg.

Why did you drop out? What program were you in, and how deep into the program were you? Anybody can say they were a PhD student. Not many can say they are a PhD candidate after passing qualifying exams. Just curious, thanks.

Inflation-adjusted would be interesting.

LOTR is the most entertaining of them all, IDC about prfit

For many years, George Lucas and Stephen Speilberg were half of this list. Crazy!

Curious as to how this data was compiled and compared. Did you adjust for inflation, to account for dollar value? Also, does this reflect theater ticket sales only, or does it also reflect worldwide video sales?

Worldwide ticket sales and adjusted to inflation. Not included home video or merchandise revenues.

The movies today have no heart. That's why none of them are succeeding in the same way. This list stops in 2022. If it had gone to 2023...Top Gun Maverick would have made it onto the list. It's been the only decent movie in a long time.

President Reagen being the narrator of ET would hav kept ET at the top of the box office much longer lol

The amazing thing about Rocky is that it only cost $1200 to make.

Will be interesting to see on whether the top 3 movies will be from Cameron in the next years. I'm pretty sure Avatar 2 will go to the top.
