On this date in 1885, the first movie was produced. If you adjusted for inflation, what would be the highest grossing movie of all time? In today’s money, “What’s #1?” for Chris Young tickets?
The box office take for “Gone With the Wind” would be $1,825,055,106 in today’s money. Congrats to Greg from Belle Vernon who wins the Chris Young tickets. More tomorrow morning at 6:55 with Dan’s Tire Service. – James Pond
