The only weak thing here is the haters.
I didn't see where that link showed how many tickets were sold at all. It only showed dollar figures adjusted to modern times. So we don't know whether Star Wars sold more tickets or not. I know I did see Star Wars when it came out. I was a teenager and I paid $2.50 to see it in Lakeland, FL.

I paid $30 a ticket to see Avatar in Imax 3d here in Vegas a few weeks ago.
