I thought it might be interesting to edit whl's inflation list above so that it eliminates those films which would have a built-in audience. By that I mean sequels to a franchise created by its original; films based on real blockbuster books and/or authors, tv shows, comix, etc. I've undoubtedly made some mistakes, but here's what's left:
1 1977 Star Wars $1,066,519,005
3 1997 Titanic $843,845,107
2 1982 ET: The Extra-Terrestrial $880,433,132

Is that list adjusted for inflation or not?

I imagine that Dracula (1931) would be the top grossing vampire film when adjusted for inflation considering that it was released during the depth of the Great Depression in the United States. If you count video sales and other Dracula-related merchandise sold since then, it is without a doubt the most successful vampire movie of all time.

Nosferatu might be second on the inflation-adjustment all time vampire list because it was made in Germany after World War I before the modern Deutsche mark was in circulation. Wikipedia says that the German Rentenmark was worth 4.2 USD roughly the time that Nosferatu was released. Since then, Nosferatu has become known as one of the most influential horror films of all time and has spawned remakes, videos, and ripoffs (including the above mentioned Dracula).

I thought it might be interesting to add all those numbers up to see where the world's money goes. If I added it right, the film grosses above amount to $64,547,181,066.00. That's 64 billion dollars. And they worry about the occasional download!!!

No, but this one is.

Too bad they don't have the genre Vampire separate, but from what I can see, Interview with a Vampire and Bram Stoker's Dracula are in the inflation adjusted Horror list, but Van Helsing isn't. I signed up for a free trial at the Movie Mojo site, but now I can't get inflation adjusted results. Still, they put the top five vampire movies by estimated ticket sales to be:

1 Interview with the Vampire
2 Bram Stoker's Dracula
3 Van Helsing
4 Love at First Bite
5 Blade

Surely the original Star Wars belongs on BaftaBabe's list.

Shouldn't that be $36 Billion or 36 Billion Dollars?

Actually, yes. I had it $36 Billion Worth, and couldn't decide if that sounded right. I think I will edit it to be 36 Billion Dollars Worth. Thanks Salopian!
