I’m a sucker for quirky little facts and figures (probably because I’m a sports fan). So when I came across this little chart at Box Office Mojo I was instantly interested. Wheeeeeeee!!!! Star Wars is still #1 all time at the box office with Lord of the Rings right on it’s tail. Some of the more surprising entries on this list are Back to the Future only being ranked #11 while the pathetic Home Alone is ranked 3 places higher at #8. Another one is Crocodile Dundee at #21 being ahead of Superman at #22. The Godfather only at #28!?!?! And for all you Star Trek Fans out there, The Karate Kid is ahead of you at #29. Anyway, here’s an abbreviated look at the list of all time trilogy box office leaders. For the full list go here.
