The 15 Highest-Grossing Books-to-Movies

Today, The DailyBeast.com released what they described as the highest-grossing films based on books. They got the figures using data compiled by Box Office Mojo. Inflation-adjustment was done by multiplying estimated admissions by the latest average ticket price—which in 2010 is $7.95—and where admissions were unavailable, adjustment was based on the average ticket price for when each movie was released.

I present here the top 15 out of a list of 30. If you feel you need the full details with the amount of money each film grossed at the box office, there's a link at the end of this article. Click it and feed your eyes on what you see.
