OH MY GOD, TITANIC?! Wow. Good for BP. In before someone says "it's not among the top if one adjusts the ticket price inflation".

It does annoy me in general when people use domestic to try and make their point of something being the biggest movie of that year. Like last year when people claimed "'Wonder Woman' was the highest grossing superhero movie of 2017", while omitting the fact that's only true domestically, while 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' grossed more in total when combined with foreign for worldwide (along with 'GotG Vol. 2' and 'Thor: Ragnarok', which grossed more worldwide than 'Wonder Woman' did).

But it's true domestic is important to show how a movie does in ones own country compared to foreign, in terms of what both markets want to see. 'Black Panther' being the first case (since the first 2 'Iron Man' movies and 'The Incredible Hulk') of an MCU where the domestic gross is higher than the foreign one.
