Has anyone ever tried to do an inflation-adjusted count of the worldwide grosses for Bond? It would be interesting to compare them to the Star Wars series.

Star Wars - $1,801.9 (5)
James Bond - $1,271.9 (21)
Star Trek - $755.5 (10)
Batman - $711.0 (5)
LOTR - $655.3 (2)
Harry Potter - $579.6 (2)
Rocky - $496.3 (5)
Lethal Weapon - $487.6 (4)
Back to the Future - $416.8 (3)
Terminator - $357.9 (3)
Ghostbusters - $351.1 (2)
Friday the 13th - $234.6 (10)
In all fairness... the Terminator trilogy will probably add at least another $30-60 million, pushing it above Back to the Future. And LOTR and Harry Potter will both release hugely succesful sequels in the near future that will bump them up the list.

$2,973,212,483 divided by 5 is $594,642,496.6 per movie.
$3,236,808,000 divided by 21 is $154,133,714.3 per movie.
Star Wars outweighs Bond by $410,508,782.3 per movie.
Like I said before. Star Wars wins.
