This is how Wikipedia adjusts their numbers:

InfInflation adjustment is carried out using the Consumer price index for advanced economies published by the International Monetary Fund. The index is uniformly applied to the grosses in the chart published by Guinness World Records in 2014, beginning with the 2014 index. The figures in the above chart take into account inflation that occurred in 2014, and in every available year since then, through 2022.

Basically they are adjusted so that 10 $ in 1939 is equal to what it's worth today. Seriously it's basic economics.

And no, inflation is mentioned every single time someone somewhere brings up a film from the highest grossing films list. Because Gone with the wind is the highest grossing film ever.

Just because you didn't notice those other times doesn't make this time worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_correlation

At the end of the day, highest grossing is a worthless metric to measure in except that it's just a bit interesting. Don't take it too seriously.

Edit: oh and to be clear, she is still the first solo female director with 1B$. Adjusting for inflation doesn't change that (except if there is a movie with another solo female director that goes above 1B if adjusted)

Nah, people bring it up every time any of the highest grossing movies are discussed, like Avatar and Avengers Endgame.

Beating Gone with the wind is very hard. Avatar is surprisingly close, but not close enough.

Here's a list of the top 30 adjusted for inflation: https://www.gamesradar.com/highest-grossing-movies-inflation/

With that information, I don't believe Barbie is in the 50 if you adjust for inflation.

Unadjusted isn't entirely useless. It's interesting to see how a movie compares to more recent ones and it also filters out movies that were released in a time where TVs, home media or streaming didn't exist or were not as common.

Must be exhausting to be mad at everything, so I get why they want to stop.

Which one? That stupid Dane has been burning Qurans in Sweden since before the war began.

And it's a bit misleading to say paid. It's technically true, but it is a very low amount of money that's needed for a permit. It's 50 € or something like that.

While the Russians might have encouraged it, he would have done it anyways. He just loves attention.

Very cool, I hope it amounts to something in my lifetime.

According to the article the windows do open.

And of course they do. The building is designed to be well insulated, not to make you comfortable.

If the owner wants to let air in or out, of course they should be allowed to do that.

Yeah, I really want r/sysadmin on here.

They have a Discord but Discord is so incredibly annoying to use for this.

P.S. change the sort mode to hot or top (x hours) to get more content. The default of active sucks.
