Very confused by the lack of films from the golden era of Hollywood on there. Something must have gone wrong in terms of missing data particularly as we can see many of the highest grossing films of all time are from that era. I can only assume reliable box office data is hard to come by for the regular films of the 30-40s which haven't stood the test of time but certainly grossed over a million in today's money.
The average american was watch more than a film in the cinema a week, and the studio system was pumping out a ridiculous number of films. Gone with the wind alone grossed significantly more than the entire US box office this year.
Edit: looking closely at the database used as a source shows clearly the lack of films from that era. 1930 only has like 6 films for the whole year out of the hundreds that would have been pumped out by the studios at that time. Checking Wikipedia the top ten grossing films from that year all grossed over a million dollars in 1930 money

But it's not construction, it's all deaths. And foreign workers make up nearly 90% of the population.
