Looking back on it, $936 million domestic for The Force Awakens is an absurd number.

That's more than Titanic's domestic gross in 1997 inflation adjusted. 

Maybe we are also underrating at least in North America what a phenomenon that TFA was. I'm not sure if we'll see a movie that tops $800 million domestic for a long time. Avatar 2 has the best chance and I'm not sure if the audence is as enthusiastic about that concept anymore, nor is 3D a big deal any more.

Uh, just a quick correction, but ticket inflation adjusted, Titanic made more than $1.14B in the US. I get what you're saying, though. It's going to take an event movie to clear that. However, if TLJ had been good and a majority crowd pleaser, I have no doubt it could have come close to that $800M. Maybe have hit $750M. At least matched ESB's $704M, inflation adjusted.
