$200 Million Adjusted

The following films have earned at least $200 million at the box office when taking into account ticket price inflation. Adjusted figures are based on the 2001 average ticket price of $5.60. Titles with an asterisk have had at least one major re-release, while figures in green are estimated grosses based on revenue figures. The list only goes as far back as 1939 (with the exception of Snow White since it earned the vast majority of its money in re-releases) since reliable pre-1939 figures are extremely hard to come by for many films. Please also keep in mind that this list, like any other inflation adjusted list, can never really be 100% accurate for a number of various reasons.
