Highest Grossing Movies Ever (USA) - The $250,000,000 Club!
Looking to build the ultimate DVD collection?! Why not start with
the 34 movies that have grossed over $250,000,000 nationally? That
collection will span movies from the 1970s to such recent films as Meet
the Fockers - now I bet you didn't expect that to be on the list!!
Remember though - increased ticket prices have inflated the list...
making movies like Star Wars ($460MM) and Jaws ($260MM) wildly
impressive.
