We're #2?
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)
 * 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)
