One could make the case that if Americans in 1939 had TV, internet, DVD players, video games and other entertainment options they would have been less likely to go see Gone With the Wind. How many times you didn't see a movie you were somewhat interested in and said "I'll watch it on DVD" What if there wasn't a home video market? Wouldn't movies have higher box office?

Very true. On the flipside the 1940 U.S. Census shows that the population at the time was 123,202,624, so not only should they adjust these figures for the value of a buck, but for how many people were there in the potential audience at the time of release.
