Jaws still leads box office over Gone With The Wind
NBC estimated parts of the Gone With The Wind telecast drew viewers on Nov 7 and 8 but audience counts aren’t tracked. Jaws tops box office receipts in the United States with 102 million, The Godfather 85 million, The Sound of Music 78 million, and GWTW 74 million. GWTW’s long run reflects earlier high ticket prices and extended availability.
