Well yes but it depends on how you look at it. GWTW has brought in the most money after inflation and most sold tickets, however, it has also had about 7 or 8 re-releases between 1950 and 1970, with one of those in the 1990's I believe when it was remaster. Very few movies have had a re-release since 1980 because of vhs tapes and now dvd's or blu-ray's. Titanic has had one re-release in 3d, but how likely is it going to have anymore in the future, not very. It took in quite a few new ticket sales in that re-release, it would really start to add up if it were re-released several more times and didn't have to rival against dvd's today. So the numbers are misleading. I have seen list that account for these things, no re-releases, plus population % and other things. When those are taken in account Gone with the Wind drops out of the top 10 and usually The Sound of Music bounces up to number one. I've seen GWTW even go down to number 23 on one list.

It was not as big in 1939 and 1940 as we are lead to think, but it definitely was a big movie at that time. Some movies seem to get bigger with time, than they were at the original release.
