Box Office and Movie Ticket Adjuster
One of the easiest ways to predict how a movie will do is to find a
similar movie. However, in order to get a good comparison, you
should take relative ticket price into consideration.
Type in the
box office and the year it was released (the year it grossed most of its revenue), then select the year you want to
compare it to. To adjust manually, take the gross and divide by the ticket price of the year the movie was released (chart below). Then multiply by the current year's ticket price. This chart is applicable only to US Domestic box office data.

Note: Ticket estimates are purely speculative, although compared to some actual-tickets-sold information, the estimates appear to be accurate for recent movies.
