==Worldwide highest-grossing films unadjusted for inflation==
'''Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins''' (born [[July 29]] [[1977]] in [[Pleasantville, New Jersey]]) is a [[Grammy Award]]-winning [[songwriter]], [[record producer]], and [[musician]]. Working largely with his brother [[Fred Jerkins III]] & writer [[LaShawn Daniels]], Jerkins has been an extremely in-demand producer for over a decade,{{Fact|date=July 2008}} being requested by such artists as [[Michael Jackson]], [[Whitney Houston]] and [[Lionel Richie]]. The words "Darkchild" appear in some form in many of his tracks. He is currently working on forthcoming albums from [[Brandy Norwood|Brandy]],<ref>[http://www.rap-up.com/2008/06/30/rap-up-tv-rodney-jerkins-on-britney-spears-and-brandys-new-albums/ Rap-Up TV: Rodney Jerkins on Britney Spears</ref> [[Beyoncé]], [[Ciara]], [[LeToya]], [[Teairra Marí]], [[Britney Spears]] and [[Melanie Brown]]. <ref>[http://monicamania.blogdrive.com/archive/3246.html Monica Mania:// The Suga Mama of Music Blogs<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>and Korean pop sensation [[Se7en (singer)| Se7en]].
The list has more [[2007 in film|2007 films]] in the top 50 than any other year, with seven, followed by [[2005 in film|2005]] and [[2004 in film|2004]], each with six. Over 75 percent of films in the top 50 were released after [[2000 in film|2000]], while no film prior to [[1977 in film|1977]] appears in the list because inflation is not considered. Figures are given in United States dollars.

==Biography==
{| class="wikitable sortable"
Jerkins was born into a religious family as the youngest son of a minister and choir director mother. He grew up in [[Pleasantville, New Jersey]].<ref>Norment, Lynn. [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-25501061_ITM "Rodney Jerkins: music maestro on a mission."], ''[[Ebony (magazine)]]'', [[June 1]], [[2002]]. Accessed [[December 19]], [[2007]]. "Jerkins is pop music's newest and youngest hit-making wiz. At age 24, the Pleasantville, N.J., native is a fascinating coming-of-age success story and stands out among hundreds of rags-to-riches tales."</ref> He began taking classical music lessons on the piano as a small child. As a teenager he had already decided to become a record producer. At 15, he and his brother [[Fred Jerkins III]] wrote and produced their own gospel rap album - ''On the Move''. He began making more demos, one of which caught the attention of idol [[Teddy Riley]], who gave him advice on the music industry. Finally, his first professional writing and producing job came in [[1994 in music|1994]] when he contributed two tracks to the debut album of R&B artist Casserine. Riley also subsequently let Jerkins share writing and production duties on tracks by Pure Soul, Men Of Vizion & [[Wreckx-N-Effect]] in [[1995 in music|1995]] & [[1996 in music|1996]].<ref>[http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1077/is_8_57/ai_87148277 Rodney Jerkins: music maestro on a mission - Interview | Ebony | Find Articles at BNET.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

==Darkchild Records and label ventures==
''Note: Gross includes re-released films.''
===1999 venture===
Jerkins has made two attempts to bring his label to prominence. The first was in [[1999 in music|1999]] when he joined with [[Sony BMG|Sony]]/[[Epic Records]] to promote such signees as [[Whitney Houston]]-style power vocalist [[Rhona Bennett|Rhona]], [[pop music|Pop]]/R&B girl group So Plush and rapper Fats. Male vocalists K-Young, Lil' Zal and J. Mathis also made frequent collaborations with Rodney Jerkins around this time, although it is not known if they were actually signed to the label. Buzz was created about artists with Fats appearing on two tracks Jerkins produced for [[Michael Jackson]]'s ''[[Invincible (Michael Jackson album)|Invincible]]'' album and So Plush releasing the single "Things I've Heard Before" with a [[Hype Williams]]-directed video. Singles such as So Plush's "Damn (Should Have Treated You Right)" and Rhona's "Satisfied" were also released and made fair impact on charts. Subsequently, So Plush albums and "Things I've Heard Before" singles were pressed (and made available as [[Promotional recording|promos]]) and Rhona's album was even released in Japan, output from the label stopped from this point however. It seemed that eventually artists were released from the label as Rhona reappeared in [[2003 in music|2003]] joining infamous R&B group [[En Vogue]]<ref>[http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6668457&BAB=E En Vogue Soul Flower CD<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and Fats released an album as part of the duo F.A.T.S. & Bathgate in [[2006 in music|2006]].<ref>[http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6974548/a/Split+Decision.htm F A T S & Bathgate Split Decision CD<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>


''See also: [[List of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada]]'' and [[List of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada#Highest-grossing in the US and Canada, adjusted for inflation|Inflation-adjusted list of highest-grossing films in the U.S. and Canada]]''
===2005 venture===
In [[2005 in music|2005]] Darkchild Records reappeared when Jerkins signed brand new acts including Shamari Fears formerly of R&B group [[Blaque]], female MC Asia Lee, Dancehall artist Atiba and Gospel singer Anesha Birchett. [[Joy Enriquez]] also briefly appeared as an artist on the site before her album release on new sister gospel label JoyFul Child Records. The website was redesigned and relaunched with artist bios and track samples and a new Darkchild Members "Platinum" Club was set up which gave access to Jerkins' ''Versatility'' instrumental album and other exclusives. It seems the label has again had problems however, as a track recorded by Shamari - "The One U Need" was used by Jerkins as a single for [[Def Jam]] singer [[Megan Rochell]] without her consent or awareness. Other tensions formed and according to her [http://www.shamari.net/Fan%20Club.htm Official Website] she is no longer signed to the label. Additionally Asia Lee has apparently not heard from the record company or Jerkins for a long time and Atiba has now left the label and is looking to get his album released elsewhere after Jerkins refused a deal from [[Def Jam]] to do so. Anesha Birchett seems to be the only successful member of Darkchild Records being that she has co-written several recent Darkchild Productions, including those for [[Beyoncé]], [[Vanessa Bell Armstrong]], [[Shareefa]], [[Joy Enriquez]], Natasha and [[Tamia]], although she is currently in artist development and her recording career has yet to start. Anesha's sister Antea Birchett and Delisha Thomas are also part of a frequently active in-house roster of writers for Darkchild Records.


===Issues with inflation===
===JoyFul Child and Darkchild Gospel Records===
Due to the long term effects of inflation, notably the significant increase of movie theater ticket prices, the list unadjusted for inflation gives far more weight to more recent films; a film in 1910, given much lower ticket prices at that time, would have to sell close to 100 times as many tickets as a 2007 film in order for the two to have equal gross takings.<ref> [http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm?adjust_yr=1910&p=.htm Domestic Grosses: Adjusted for Ticket Price Inflation] (1910 adjustor: $0.07, 2006 adjustor: $6.58.) Retrieved 2007-04-23.</ref> Further complications are added by changing currency values. The unadjusted list, while commonly found in the press, is therefore largely meaningless for comparing films widely separated in time, as many films from earlier eras will never appear on a modern unadjusted list, despite achieving higher commercial success when adjusted for price increases.<ref
Seemingly one of his only successful recent label ventures, Jerkins released his wife Joy Enriquez' second album ''Atmosphere Of Heaven'', which features a religious direction, on his independent gospel imprint JoyFul Child Records. The album is available to purchase through [http://joyenriquez.com/ Joy's Official Website] although she was formerly featured on the [http://darkchild.com/ Darkchild Records Site] with its other artists. The Darkchild name has also been lent to a record company run by Jerkins brother [[Fred Jerkins III]], Darkchild Gospel.<ref>[http://www.darkchildgospel.com/ Darkchild Gospel<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> which released the latest album from [[Virtue (musical group)|Virtue]] - ''Testimony''.
name=fallacyfiles>[http://www.fallacyfiles.org/archive062006.html#06032006 Fallacy Files]. Retrieved 2007-04-23.</ref> Some have suggested that studios prefer not to make inflation adjustments because doing so would reduce the grossing numbers and eliminate the ability to advertise new box-office "records."<ref name=fallacyfiles/>


In the United States, [[Box Office Mojo]], the [[Guinness Book of World Records]], and [[Entertainment Weekly]], claim that ''[[Gone With The Wind (film)|Gone With The Wind]]'' is domestically the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. However, these sources do not take into account its 10 rereleases, adjusting the money the film has made over its lifespan into 1939 dollars.
===Def Jam and other ventures===
After Jerkins being appointed VP of A&R for [[The Island Def Jam Music Group|The Island Def Jam Group]] in [[2006 in music|2006]], Darkchild Records will apparently now be distributed as an imprint under the label. It is rumoured that new female R&B artist [[Megan Rochell]] will now have her music distributed through this imprint. A second upcoming female R&B artist, Natasha, will have her music distributed through a collaboration between the label and [[Jive Records]]. Jerkins composed the opening theme music to ''I Married a Baller''. Appearing in a segment where he recorded the theme song with 90s R&B girl-group [[SWV]], he suggested he could help them acquire an indie distribution deal if they were to reunite. (although this does not necessarily entail Darkchild Records)

Revision as of 06:15, 11 October 2008

The following is a non-definitive list of the all-time highest-grossing films.

Worldwide highest-grossing films unadjusted for inflation

The list has more 2007 films in the top 50 than any other year, with seven, followed by 2005 and 2004, each with six. Over 75 percent of films in the top 50 were released after 2000, while no film prior to 1977 appears in the list because inflation is not considered. Figures are given in United States dollars.

Issues with inflation

Due to the long term effects of inflation, notably the significant increase of movie theater ticket prices, the list unadjusted for inflation gives far more weight to more recent films; a film in 1910, given much lower ticket prices at that time, would have to sell close to 100 times as many tickets as a 2007 film in order for the two to have equal gross takings.[1] Further complications are added by changing currency values. The unadjusted list, while commonly found in the press, is therefore largely meaningless for comparing films widely separated in time, as many films from earlier eras will never appear on a modern unadjusted list, despite achieving higher commercial success when adjusted for price increases.[2] Some have suggested that studios prefer not to make inflation adjustments because doing so would reduce the grossing numbers and eliminate the ability to advertise new box-office "records."[2]

In the United States, Box Office Mojo, the Guinness Book of World Records, and Entertainment Weekly, claim that Gone With The Wind is domestically the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. However, these sources do not take into account its 10 rereleases, adjusting the money the film has made over its lifespan into 1939 dollars.

Highest grossing films by year

This is a list of the highest grossing films by year.[3][4] Gross numbers prior to 1977 include every release of the film.
