Inconsistencies with domestic table

[edit]

Is it right that non-Hong Kong films such as You Are the Apple of My Eye are listed in this table with the country as Taiwan? They aren't listed in the year by year table. Sudiani (talk) 10:35, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inflation adjusted tables

[edit]

Someone added some inflation adjusted tables without showing how the inflation adjusted figure was calculated. The films I added from the 1970s to the yearly list were from a list in Variety from their 1979 anniversary issue (January 3, 1979, p.42). Possibly someone could add the inflation-adjusted figures for some of these so that the inflation adjusted figures can go back to the 70s.

The highest-grossing films per that list were:
Hong Kong's 20 Alltime Top Pix
1 The Private Eyes 8,531,699
2 The Contract 7,823,019
3 Drunk Monkey in the Tiger's Eye (Drunken Master) 6,763,793
4 Games Gamblers Play 6,251,633
5 The Towering Inferno 5,716,515
6 The 72 Tenants 5,626,675
7 Jaws 5,510,024
8 Way of the Dragon 5,307,350
9 The Spy Who Loved Me 5,267,856
10 Money Crazy 5,056,559
11 King Kong 5,008,049
12 The Last Message 4,553,662
13 Fist of Fury 4,431,423
18 Jumping Ash 3,875,745
20 Follow The Star 3,596,029

I will see if I can find an updated chart in the 1980s to pick up 1979 films. Sudiani (talk) 10:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
