Gone With The Wind & Ben-Hur Beat Oppenheimer With Inflation-Adjusted Box Office Close Two other legendary movies can arguably surpass Oppenheimer's success if inflation-adjusted box office totals are considered: Gone with the Wind and Ben-Hur. Ticket prices were much cheaper decades ago when both films were released, so adjusting their box office performances with modern pricing changes their totals substantially.
With both movies surpassing Oppenheimer at the box office after accounting for inflation, Gone with the Wind and Ben-Hur's performances at their respective Oscars make them more successful. Gone with the Wind won eight Oscars, while Ben-Hur set the record in 1960 by winning 11 Oscars. This means that Gone with the Wind and Ben-Hur beat Oppenheimer at the Oscars and at the box office if inflation is considered.
