What is the highest grossing film of all time relative to when it was released?

What is the highest grossing film of all time relative to when the movie was released? I know that the Titanic was the highest grossing film monetarily, but if you check the inflation rates and movie ticket prices/ number of tickets sold, I'm pretty sure that Star Wars IV (released in 1977, when ticket prices were much much cheaper) is the winner. Can someone verify this with me or prove me wrong?|||I think it is Avatar. $2,782,185,928. Release date: December 10, 2009. For film information and news: http://www.artremote.com/|||unfortunately no, as much as I am a Star Wars fan, it is Gone With the Wind. here are the numbers as listed by boxofficemojo.com. The first number is the adjusted gross, the second is the actual gross, the last is the year relesed



1 Gone with the Wind MGM $1,618,377,500 $198,676,459 1939^

2 Star Wars Fox $1,426,738,000 $460,998,007 1977^
