About This Blog

The purpose of the blog is to analyze and comment on the various aspects of Films, Music, and Sports. Project Mayhem is the name of an organization in the film "Fight Club." The organization is formed to rid the world of cultural norms, or what is expected and wanted of a person to fit into a community. Through this blog, I hope that the analysis of these media produce a similar effect: ridding public opinions of stereotypes or predetermined conclusions regarding these media without proper evidence. So, please, add input, correct mistakes, give your ratings/opinions, and open your mind...

Highest Grossing Films in History

In a lot of my reviews I tend to comment on the total gross that a film produces, as it is often comparable to the quality of the film. The following graph illustrates the Top 10 in history, with a link below giving the Top 50:

Top 10:

10.
 
Other points of note: Film #10 (Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part 1) on the list is still currently in theatres, thus it has great potential to move up significantly on the list. No film prior to 1977 is in the Top 50, largely to to inflation rates since that time. Unofficially the 3 most expensive films of all time are Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End ($300 million), Tangled ($260 million), and Spider-Man 3 ($258 million). These exponential sums show how important it is to make an impact on the audience during a film's box office.
