Never. The top ten movies in history, when adjusted for inflation, will probably stay the same forever. People don't buy as many tickets as they use to for that to happen.

 

It's also why I don't care when a movie claims to be the highest grossing of all time etc. because it's misleading.

By some sources avatar is the number two movie worldwide when adjusting for inflation. So things that are big enough world wide phenomenon(and the extra expensive 3d and Imax tickets do have a chance a cracking the top ten.

but Avatar is an anamoly, go back and look at the charts, that movie was doing incredibly well for months and months. It is the exception not the rule regarding both the consistenty and size of the movie market these days
