Yeah you can. Back in the 70's, hardly any movies were made, 1/5 the amount of today due to the home video explosion. Movies like The Sting, Jaws, and Star Wars had hardly any summer competition and were "the only game in town." They weren't pushed out of theaters so fast like they are today, to make room for new fresh titles.
Thats like saying you can't compare Star Wars to Gone With the Wind, which is even more ridiculous. GWTW played in some places for well over a year as it had virtually no competition back then.
