ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Only I seem to care but...

Avatar has grossed over $1bn in just 17 days!!! It is only the 5th film to pass $1bn at the box office and as a result is already the 4th highest grossing film ever!!! I find that truly amazing.

Titanic (also James Cameron) grossed $1.8bn to become the highest grossing movie ever and the most recent billion dollar blockbuster, The Dark Knight, took over 30 weeks and a re-release to get the box office results.

WOW!!!!!!

Officially the 2nd highest grossing film of all time... funnily enough, James Cameron now has the 2 biggest movies of all time lol with Titanic at number one.

To put it into perspective:

Titanic has grossed 1.8 billion in 12 years
Avatar has grossed 1.1 million in 2 months

WOW!

Top 10 highest grossing films of all time:

1. Titanic - $1,842,900,000
2. Avatar - $1,120,000,000
3. The Lord Of The Rings: Return of the King - $1,119,000,000
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - $1,066,000,000
5. The Dark Knight - $1,001,900,000
6. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - $974,700,000
7. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - $961,000,000
8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix - $938,200,000
9. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - $929,400,000
10. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - $925,300,000

Hasn't it now overtaken Titanic in the sales?

I wasn't that bothered about seein it, but we went a few weeks back as felt it was something we should maybe catch while still at the cinema, and i really enjoyed it. Probably not a film i will bother wanting to watch again though, as i don't think a DVD will be the same as at the cinema and so it won't be as good.

It only beat Titanic because the tickets for 3D theaters were expensive

Titanic>>>>>>>>>Avatar

so glad Avatar didn't win Best Picture because it ain't

Personally i think its a better film than Titanic, so glad it is number 1 in the sales. I couldn't personally comment on it not winning best film at the Oscars as i have not seen all the films that were nominated to say if i think it was the right film that won. My brother thinks its right that HurtLocker won as he considered it the best film of last year.

I do however think that it was worthy of the awards it did get.
