Lots of records shattered, it's quite impressive. It's even crawling up in the unadjusted chart, #21 at the moment.

That's for all those non-believers claiming it's making tons of money just because tickets are more expensive nowadays.

It's still very far from the #1 spot.

I don't think any movie will ever make as much money. Gone With the Wind had a 3 year long run and people had less ways of entertainment back then. The Force Awakens still has a chance to overtake Phantom Menace though, that's a more realistic and meaningful feat.

Less entertainment methods but also a much lower and much poorer population. There's 186M more people now with a total of 318M living 10-15 years longer. There was also a lot less theatres so it was less accessible than nowadays.

I think it will crack the Top 10 but not the Top 5.

It was also released 7 times, as recent as last year, so it has had every advantage of every generation.

It's hard to believe that another film will see such fortuitious circumstances.
