I think the stats listed in the original post are pretty accurate.
That's not to say there aren't films out there which could have caused just as big, if not bigger, a controversy than The Exorcist did. Like maybe some Italian oddities like Cannibal Ferox, low-budget shock/gore fests like Snuff, mondo flicks, indie stuff like Shatter Dead...but those movies aren't given anywhere near the huge, international release like The Exorcist was given. I'm sure if any of them had been given as large a release, we'd be posting stats about them right now and not The Exorcist. On the same token, that's not to take anything away from The Exorcist; it was, and still is, a frightening flick which just pounds the shit out of you.
But Hostel? Hostel 2? The Hills Have Eyes Remake? Silent Hill? Scary??? Maybe...if you aren't among the generation which grew up watching movies like The Exorcist.
:D
