When you factor for inflation, Gone with the Wind saw (roughly) 3 times the ticket sales that Avatar currently has

inflation doesn't matter. Nobody's going to say that Avatar is number one,but technically because of inflation Gone with the Wind is.

Actually, I know of several people who have become increasingly annoyed by these records being broken because movie when it can mostly be attributed to movie theaters charging $15 for a movie. If you want something that is not as easily manipulated you should look at total ticket sales, which (in all reality) no movie will ever beat Gone with the Wind.

there wasn't widespread piracy back then or DVD's being released around 4 months after the launch of a movie

do you know its estimated Transformers 2 could have added around 200 Million more to its gross from the piracy it saw in the first few months let alone after that?

Avatar has broken piracy records too

When Gone With The Wind released people had nothing better to do than go & see it 30 times a week ROFL ROFL ROFL!!!

Now there is so much compeition within entertainment mediums

CONGRATS AVATAR!

& CONGRATS TITANIC FOR HAVING THE RECORD FOR 12 YEARS!

Finally

CONGRATS JAMES CAMERON



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
