hi~

i would like to know which movie has sold the most number of tickets. 
was it an old movie like gone with the wind, or are todays movies like
harry potter or lord of the rings or star wars outselling classics? 
number of tickets = number of seats, and not dollar amount, which
doesnt mean anything to me.

please ask for any clarification, if you need any!  thanks so much!

thank you for the prompt answer!

It would be interesting to relate the number of tickets sold in
proportion to the US population during the years these movies were
exhibited, assuming the tickets sold apply only to the US. GWTW would
probably be even more impressive.
