******************************************* * The $100 Million Club * ******************************************* (c) Paul David Doherty , 15 February 1999 This is a list of all films that have grossed more than $100 million at the U.S. domestic box office. Only films released in 1970 or later are included. Box office information for older films is scarce and unreliable. Films marked with a * after the year are still in general release. Information has been compiled from various sources, including similar lists by Rhys Threlfall and Giancarlo Cairella, Eric Carter's weekly box-office listings and the ever useful Internet Movie Database (IMDb) at http://us.imdb.com/.
