‘The Force Awakens’ isn’t really the box office champ

‘The Force Awakens’ isn’t really the box office champ | New York Post:
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will pass “Avatar” as the top-grossing film ever in North America on Wednesday as Tuesday’s $8 million take puts it just $2 million short of the previous record of $760.5 million.
...If you factor in inflation, “The Force Awakens” currently ranks in 21st place among all films in terms of actual tickets sold, just behind “Raiders of the Lost Ark” but far, far behind the two chart-toppers: “Gone With the Wind” ($1.7 billion) and the original “Star Wars” ($1.5 billion).
(Various factors make it impossible to adjust international grosses, an increasingly important source of Hollywood revenue, for inflation.)
