It can however many re-releases, that won't matter since re-releases don't make a lot of money (unless they re-release in in 20 years' time as a wide release but even then...).



Oh indeed most limited rerelease of the classics these days do little but there is a lot of room between The Star Wars special editions run and Gone with the Winds 75th aniversary depeding on how far it get's now, a rerelease down the line could bump it up a few spots on the list, but until we are much closer to seeing just how much it does now there is no point predicting what future rereleases may or may not add.



 

I see that. Still re-releases don't matter these days. Back then the theatre count was low compared to today. There's twice as many theatres in the US now than in 1980 and even less in the 60s so back then staggered releases and long runs made sense. Think about it - in recent times, what was the last movie that grossed a significant amount from re-releases?
