Seems crazy that a 767 only 8 weeks out may have less than a dozen people booked (and that's assuming there's 8 people out there without seat assignments yet).
Any likelihood the flight will be canceled, or not just because of aircraft positioning?
I'll second many of the prior posts; highly unlikely a TATL flight would be cancelled due to load. Shuttle flights, and high-frequency flights (DCA-ATL, etc) could face such cancellation from time to time, but that is quite infrequent. Probably the most common cancellation are shuttle flights on the weekend, where more than a handful of times (over 10 years) I've seen every other one cancelled on a Sunday (till the evening rush).
Two other things to highlight:
(1) With loads so low, this might be a good flight for people to look at if they were seeking low-miles award seats to CDG.
(2) This flight's days are numbered. This flight is a legacy of the CVG hub days; I'd put the over-under at one-two years before it is gone for good.
