This page says "How to Become a Detective" was #1, at US$3 million, & says "Modern Times" only made US168,000 and change. (Box Office Mojo has stopped offering movies before 1980, so it's no help at all.) Who's right? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 17:15, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Turner Classic Movies says Modern Times grosed $1.5 million in rental, while the contemporary Variety and the International Motion Picture Almanac puts the figure slightly higher at $1.8 million. There is no way a Chaplin film in the 1930s would have earned as little as $168,000 so I would say The Numbers is incorrect in this case. As for How to become a Detective I have never heard of it; Variety does not have it listed and neither does the Almanac, and I am pretty sure that if a film grossed $3 million in the 1930s it would have been included since it would have been one of the biggest films of the decade. The IMDb suggests it is a short so perhaps it was attached to films that grossed $3 million?Betty Logan (talk) 18:58, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
