Avatar and Titanic are the only non-sequel movie to have crossed this line. The other movies are "The Dark Knight", "LOTR: Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" (the 3rd movie) | ||

It probably will surpass the amount Titanic grossed in the box office, but adjusted for inflation it might not have made as much. | ||

Worse, worldwide boxoffice adjustment would actually become even more distorted. If you want to measure how many people watched the movie, then it should at least be based on tickets sales rather than adjusting it on inflation. And even then, it would be difficult to measure a movie's success based on tickets because then the question comes: how do you account things like VHS/DVDs/Blu-Ray sales? Television sales? Do we just ignore them? and then there's the question of piracy/television/internet, etc... ...I have no idea where you brought the "Gone with the Wind is only moderately successful".. I'm saying that adjusting for inflation is pretty meaningless as a measurement of ranking. | ||
