| 1973 | $715 | The scatter chart indicates that box office receipts for the top 50 movies have been relatively flat to slighty declining over time( adjusted for inflation).the vable for gone with the wind is somewhat of an outlier here, but even if we remove gone with the wind, the tred is flat to slightly decreasing. because this represtents the receipts for top movies, this seems to indicate that either the total revenues of box office movies are not increasing over time or that there is greater competition for box-office recepits among movies so the top movies are not deminating the total box office receipts. |
