DOFP & Apocalypse count as X-Men films and came out in the same time period or afterwards so inflation has nothing to do with it, and if you adjust the older films for inflation they still don't crack $600m where as GOTG did closer to $800m.

I know, I’m talking about the older films. Domestically, the X2 and X3 sold around the same amount of tickets as Spider-Man: Homecoming which made over $800m.

It’s not just ticket prices but the return of 3D, IMAX, and foreign markets being bigger today that inflate Box Office revenue.

X2 and X3 would made around $334,201,140 domestically like Homecoming. Foreign wise they would have probably made similar numbers as Days of Future Past, which was $513,941,241. 

Nope those ticket sales are domestic only, if you actually look the 2000's X-Men films not including Origins had higher domestic numbers than international, GOTG, Homecoming hell most CBM's today gross more internationally than they do domestically, usually by a fair amount as well.

Using the exact same method to try and estimate ticket sales world wide which is take the domestic number sold divide that by the % of the box office domestic made up and multiple it by 100 and none of the first X-Men films crack 72 million, Homecoming on the other hand is close to 100 million, GOTG is 95.5 million tickets.

It's not exact but it gives a fair estimate.
