...Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The sinking-ship drama finally racked up $600 million stateside, and twice as much abroad, for a $1.8 billion total theatrical take. That made it the all-time top-grossing movie (sixth in real dollars, after Gone With the Wind, Star Wars, The Sound of Music, E.T. and the 1956 The Ten Commandments).
