Key word: Inflation. But yes, no one can deny Avatar was a huge sucess.

Even with inflation it's practically a tie.  According to Wikipedia titanic did 2.18 Billion. Checking the CPI inflation chart inflation from 1997 to 2009 seems to be about 33%  2.18* 1.336 = 2.894. Avatar did 2.78 Billion. That's just theaters. I'm sure the nature of Avatar lead it to be far more successful than Titanic as far as DVD/BluRay sales and merchandising.  You can't make Titanic halloween costumes and action figures, video games etc.
