That was Endgames 10 day total. It's still impressive the US Opening Weekend was 357 Million.

Opening weekend for US: $357M

Opening weekend WW total: $1.2B (3 days Fri-Sun)

Gone with the Wind (1939) is still the highest-grossing film adjusted for inflation

Guess box office watchers know this but it was shocking to me

Its first run lasted nearly two years in the US and it was officially re-released in 1948, 1954, 1961, 1967, and 1989. Also it continued to play in markets that closed or diminished shortly after its release; it ran throughout the Blitz in England, for instance.

With Sunday actuals tallied, Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame has rocketed even higher than the record-smashing estimates we saw yesterday. Through Sunday, the Anthony and Joe Russo-helmed giant collected $866M at the international box office, topping the already colossal $859M projection. Although domestic numbers won’t be confirmed until midday Pacific time, they are on the upswing and help snap Endgame’s global debut to $1.222B. With the updated figures, the 22nd MCU movie overtakes Iron Man 3 as the No. 17 film ever on the worldwide charts — after just five days in release

How much would a movie have to gross today to beat it?

Over 3 billion  

 

OT: I'm sure a lot of people know this, but I only found out recent that It's a Wonderful Life was an absolute flop and really only gained notoriety because it could be played on television
