Even if it misses out on the second spot what TFA is did is more impressive. Titanic was in theaters for almost a entire year (287 days original run plus 65 days in its re release) even if TFA has a really long run its theatrical run will be a lot shorter then Titanic's. Anything over 90 days is considered a long theatrical run now but in the 90s and before the 90s it was pretty common for some movies to be in theaters for over 6 month.

Both things are achievements in their own rights. They are the only two movies since E.T. in 1982 to sell over 100 Million tickets. Titanic for longevity that while seen a few times before will probably never be seen again and TFA for how massive it was in such a short time . As of now on box office mojo it's hit half of Gone with the Winds total ticket sales in just 38 days and is at 11 on the all time list adjusted for inflation and it still has time to get quite a bit more. In fact I fully expect it to pass Titanic's world wide total while the pace is slowing down, that's far from stopping and it's not like Disney is unaware of it, they will do what they need to should it look like it might not make it.
