Inflation or not, it will be #1. You have to take into account that even at $13 tickets, people are seeing it again and again. You also have to take into account that there was no piracy during the Titanic years. Avatar is the most downloaded thing in the world, yet it's making a killing in the box office. Had there been piracy during Titanic, Titanic would have made only a fraction of what it did.
