No, that would be Return of the King worldwide, with $1.12 Billion

this inflationary thing is bogus too. Gone With the Wind had NO competition way back then. even in the 1970's, when Jaws and Star Wars came out, the studios made hardly any movies. A movie came out and it was virtually the only kid on the block. Nowadays, more than 5 times as many movies are being made and pushed thru the theaters each year due to the home video explosion. movies have less time to make $$$ before they are pushed out of the theaters for newer titles. which makes today's box office more impressive than past years, especially with what Titanic did.
people are just going to and viewing movies at home more. its more a part of what we do now. especially staying at home viewing.
