Did you go through them all by hand or am I spazzing out and missing where you go to get the number?

$713.187m

Not a great haul, despite 1978 being a great year for films (Dawn of the Dead, The Shining, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Any Which Way But Loose, Watership Down).

I was determined to do a question this week, I had one planned. Then I forgot.

This! Oh, hang on, it's half 6. Bugger.

1983 for me, but too tired to work it out. I'll wait for another 24/25 year old to do the honours.
