We all have heard time and time again about how Return of the Jedi
is breaking new records every day for the biggest gross in a given
short period.

My question is, which movies have the biggest release gross figures
that are not sequels?  (That means counting out things like Star
Trek and the soon to arrive Twilight Zone)

Is it E.T. or is it Raiders of the Lost Ark (both films whose results
would be due to their famous director) or something else?

What about in constant dollars.

Somebody with the **actual facts** please ---****!!!! MAIL !!!!****---
them to me.  By no means, of course, should anybody post to the net.
I'll post the answer shortly.
Please send all opinions which are not based on actual book figures
to /dev/null, thanks.
