Listing top/total box office metrics

Are we EVER going to post what is the true gauge of how well something does compared to previous week/months/years? Boxoffice Mojo really should start posting total tickets purchased, not just how much was spent. Due to inflation I think it's evident that is not a true reading of how films compare to others. I know the option is there to observe, but I think it should be the primary visual when you click on Boxoffice records and totals. Doesn't everyone agree?
