And none of the other movies made it top 10 with him?

It was a momentum from his Romeo and Juliet, but the thing that made this movie exciting was the special effects, remember this was back in 1997, where special effects were in development and everything and people have never seen anything so realistic before. You can see why Star Wars (1997) is ranked 5th all time. Now years later, special effects are nothing so special, but 3D was at birth, people haven't see anything like it before, which is why Avatar is ranked 3rd all time.

According to AFP, the 42-year-old cinemagoer, surnamed Kuo, had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a stroke while watching the film in in the northern city of Hsinchu (Taiwan).
Emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih told AFP: “It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms.”

The China Times reported that the incident represented “the first death linked to watching James Cameron’s science-fiction epic”.

Oh, my bad, I was talking about U.S. Gross, they are ranked 3rd, behind Titanic and The Dark Knight.

If we adjust for inflation, avatar is only the 34 highest grossing movie in the US. Well, they should have no problem beating the 28 millions they are behind The Dark Knight.
