I think you actually need to look up the movies that where released in 1998 again besides Saving Private Ryan there really wasn't much qualiy wise and that movie wasn't direct competion to Titanic since it was a R rated war movie.  The same can't be said for TFA since Deadpool and Kung Fu Panda 3 are already miles better then any movie that were released in early 1998.  The late 90s was still a time when all the shitty movies where released during the first quater of the year.  Plus TFA had went up against much better movies even earlier since the Revenant and The Hateful Eight where released around the same time as TFA.

I think you need to look up movies in general back then - not many movies made more than $500M back then. 

Don't bring up Deadpool or KFP3 as competition. By the time they were released, TFA was already ending its end - it made $10M this week worldwide. On top of that KFP3 basically flopped.

Wow I think you need to look up Kung Fu Panda 3's numbers again it didn't flop.  Also you need to know its still has a lot of markets where it hasn't been released yet it will add a lot more next month and its not until the 13th of April when it will be released in all markets around the world.  Its production budget was $145 and so far it made $262 so it already made more then enough not to be considered a flop.  Also TFA is not even close to ending its end it will be in theaters in North America for at least another 60 days.
