{{note label|GWTW|GW||Penghasilan ''Gone with the Wind'' dari penayangan perdananya tidak bisa dipastikan. Rata-rata catatan masa itu mencantumkan hasil sewa $32&nbsp;juta di Amerika Utara. Catatan modern mengulang klaim tersebut; namun, angka tersebut bisa jadi angka hasil sewa global. Catatan dagang mengolah data dengan mendapatkannya dari distributor yang ingin memasarkan film sukses atau menyurvei bioskop dan membuat perkiraan. Distributor biasanya melaporkan harga sewa global karena angka yang lebih tinggi membuat film ini seolah sukses, sedangkan perkiraan hanya terbatas pada penghasilan di Amerika Utara; karena itu, sudah biasa apabila hasil sewa global dan Amerika Utara bercampur. Pada awal Perang Dunia II, banyak pasar asing tertutup bagi Hollywood sehingga industri perfilman mulai melaporkan penghasilan box office Amerika Utara saja.<ref name=HallNeale6>{{harvnb|Hall|Neale|2010|pp=[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ro0hASPfC68C&pg=PA6 6]–[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ro0hASPfC68C&pg=PA7 7]}}. "For similar reasons of accountability, ''Variety'' has typically used figures for domestic (U.S. and Canadian) rather than worldwide revenue. This became its standard policy in 1940, when the advent of war in Europe persuaded the American film industry (temporarily, as it turned out) that it should be wholly reliant on the home market for profitability. Where specific rentals data are reported in ''Variety'' before this (which tended to be only sporadically) they were often for worldwide rather domestic performance. This was also the case with other trade sources, such as ''Quigley''{{'}}s annual ''Motion Picture Almanac'', which published its own all-time hits lists from the early 1930s onward. The subsequent confusion of domestic and worldwide figures, and of rental and box-office figures, has plagued many published accounts of Hollywood history (sometimes including those in ''Variety'' itself), and we have attempted to be diligant in clarifying the differences between them."</ref> Sesuai pendekatan baru ini, harga sewa ''Gone with the Wind'' di Amerika Utara direvisi menjadi $21&nbsp;juta tahun 1947 ($11&nbsp;juta lebih sedikit daripada angka sebelumnya),<ref>{{cite news |last=Shearer |first=Lloyd |title=GWTW: Supercolossal Saga of an Epic |date=October 26, 1947 |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/movies/bestpictures/wind-ar6.html |accessdate=July 14, 2012}}</ref> dan pada 1953—usai penayangan ulang 1947—''Variety'' melaporkan penghasilan $26&nbsp;juta.<ref>{{cite news |title=Cinema: The Big Grossers |date=February 2, 1953 |work=[[Time (majalah)|Time]] |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,817905,00.html |accessdate=September 15, 2012 |archive-date=2013-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823211610/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,817905,00.html |dead-url=yes }}</ref> Pada 1956, MGM melaporkan penghasilan kumulatif Amerika Utara sebesar $30.015.000 dan penghasilan luar negeri sebesar $18.964.000 dari tiga film.<ref name=BlockWilson129>{{harvnb|Block|Wilson|2010|p=[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vpbuSXSSqdkC&pg=PA129&q=%22Gone%20with%20the%20Wind%20includes%20initial%20release%20plus%20four%20rereleases%20(1941%2C1942%2C1947%20and%201954)%20since%20foreign%20rental%20revenues%20were%20available%20only%20cumulative%20through%201956.%22 129]}}.
