How much money have these movies made?

"Gen X Revert" noted recently how Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ and the last episode of Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are doing at the box office. To date, it appears that things now stand thus:
  • Titanic: $600,788,188 (1997)
  • Star Wars: $460,998,007 (1977)
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King: $368,875,000 (2003)
  • The Passion of the Christ $228,133,890 (2004, as of 3/10/04, after 2 weeks)
  • Terminator 2: Judgment Day $204,843,345 (1991)
  • Gladiator: $187,683,805 (2000)
  • Dances with Wolves $184,208,848 (1990)
  • A Beautiful Mind: $170,742,341 (2001)
I should also note, in passing, that "Gen X Revert" is the author of a poem "Catholic Howl (with apologies to Allen Ginsbertand Lisa Simpson)" [Feb. 2, 2003], which I have taken the liberty of posting to my website. Excellent!
