Yeah this box office run is historic. Domestically I don't VIII or IX will top this, just because sequels rare topple the original without the pent up demand.
I don't think Avatar 2 will either, every streak runs out, Cameron's is just more pronounced because he makes such few films, but you could have said the same thing about Steven Spielberg circa 1982 (every movie he makes is the biggest movie evar!).
Titanic is really the one phenomenon that I don't think will ever be repeated in terms of ticket sales. That was just a monster of the pre-DVD age when people still went to see the same movie 4, 5, even 6+ times at the theater. Our culture just isn't like that anymore, too much entertainment, too many options, etc. nowadays.
