You cannot compare the Chinese boxoffice from back to the current one. This past week, China just had the biggest boxoffice grossing a week ever - more that during the week of TFA's release in the US+Canada.

Titanic stayed in theatres because people kept going to watch it - do you think it would have still been playing if no one was going? The movie made $28M in its 8th week-end compared to TFA's $6M. Titanic just had amazing legs.

Well the main reason it had good legs is because 1998 wasn't exactly a stellar year for movies so it really didn't have much competition. 

This doesn't make sense. You're saying that it grossed $2B is because there was nothing else to see? So people went to see it over and over again because there was nothing else to see? The same can be said of TFA.
