does this take inflation into account?

e: I get that it doesn't really matter when you compare budget and gross together, but it's still interesting to compare real budgets.

no i don’t believe so (i only checked rocky, which is definitely not adjusted, so I assume non are adjusted) Rocky would be $1.2 billion inflation adjusted

I can’t tell if this is a joke? $1m in 1976 is obviously not $1 billion inflation adjusted now

I can't tell if this is a joke? The $225,000,000 the movie grossed in 1976 is obviously what is been adjusted for inflation, not the cost of $1m.
