This past weekend, Star Wars: The Force Awakens passed $900 million domestically. Box Office Mojo does a showdown of record breaking blockbusters, but let’s take a look at the showdown when we adjust for general inflation.
Here’s what Box Office Mojo shows, which is interesting in and of itself:

But what if we do a basic adjustment for inflation? Does Star Wars still come out on top?
| Unadjusted Gross | Year | Adjusted Gross | |
| The Avengers | $623,357,910 | 2012 | $643,305,363 |
| Jurassic World | $652,270,625 | 2015 | $652,270,625 |
| Avatar | $749,766,139 | 2009 | $825,492,519 |
| Star Wars Force Awakens | $907,431,461 | 2015 | $907,431,461 |
| Titanic | $600,788,188 | 1997 | $838,099,522 |
Actually it does still, handedly. But suddenly Titanic actually looks far more successful in comparison, only losing by $70 million (a little less than 10%). Avatar is right up there as well.
