I always wonder if inflation is taken in account when they say “it’s the first movie since titanic that makes so much money”… “it’s the highes grossing movie ever” and then every year there is a highest grossing movie… but money is worth less than 60 years ago, so my question is: is it really the highest grossing movie? Is it?

No if you go by total number of tickets sold no movie has ever beaten the 1939 classic *Gone with the Wind.*
Though, it’s hard to compare exactly, back then movies were cheap enough that people were happily watching a movie multiple times, and noone had Netflix or a DVD player to watch something without going to a theatre, so direct comparisions of success are pretty much impossible.
