Avatar Breaks Dark Knight and Spider-Man Records
Source:ComingSoon.net January 3, 2010
ComingSoon.net reports that James Cameron's Avatar has reached $1.02 billion at the worldwide box office after just 17 days, surpassing the $1 billion earned by The Dark Knight in 2008. It also broke Spider-Man's third weekend record domestically:
James Cameron's Avatar (20th Century Fox) continues to be one of the biggest box office phenomenons of the decade--much like Titanic in the prior decade--having grossed $350 million after just 17 days and crossing the one billion mark worldwide. It set a new Near Year's Day weekend box office record with its estimated $68.3 million, down just 10% from Christmas weekend and making it the highest third weekend gross for a movie domestically (surpassing the $45 million made by Spider-Man in 2002).
By next weekend, Cameron's comeback will hit the $400 million mark and by next Sunday, it should pass Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to become the highest-grossing movie of 2009, as well as breaking into the Top 10 highest-grossing movies (domestically) of all time.
Internationally, Avatar has grossed $670.2 million which brings its worldwide total to $1.02 billion, making it the fourth-highest grossing movie worldwide EVER, and that's after being in theaters for only 17 days, too. It has surpassed the worldwide gross for The Dark Knight and only needs $46 million more to beat Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. (Currently, Cameron's Titanic still holds the worldwide grossing record with $1.84 billion with $600 million of that domestically.)
What's so remarkable about the movie's success, besides how much of that money is being made in 3D and IMAX venues (with many daily sell-outs still being reported ), is that Avatar is also the biggest non-sequel since George Lucas' original Star Wars and Steven Spielberg's E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. By the end of January, it should have surpassed both of their non-adjusted box office takes. It's still a few days behind Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, which had the benefits of opening in summer, while Avatar will be facing moviegoers' return to school and work starting tomorrow, so we'll have to see whether it can cross the $533 million mark to become the second-highest grossing movie after Cameron's own Titanic.
Avatar is a must see at IMax in 3D! Mind blowing.
Moon
a must see.
I loved Avatar 3D. Well worth the money and the line up.
Sherlock Holmes was great but then im a Guy Ritchie fan like BT so maybe biased. My boys loved it too.
The lovely bones was also fantastic.
I don't know any females who like Leo.

LOL! It has a comedy spin to the original.
That fly catching scene with the chopsticks makes a re appearance, lol.
Anyone got details on the up-coming re-make of "Edge of Darkness" ??

haha... it does look funny... the fly scene was good... hits it with the fly squatter first... Hopefully the preview does show all the good bits like every other movie they release these days.
That Will Smiths kid right?
yeh it is... i think he was also in the pursuit of happiness... i like will smith... he's funny and showed in the pursuit of happiness that he can act... maybe his son will turn out like him
Karate kid looks alright, will watch.
Hated Avatar ... watch it in 3D and although visually stunning.
I found myself bored and at times, cringing at terrible dialogue (the Braveheart-esque attempt at inspirational speech) and sex scene. The guy who was snoring through the first 30 mins - pretty much summed it up for me.
The story is nothing special and has been done before by Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai or even fucking Ferntree Gully Movie i watched as a child, not so long ago.
I didn't care about the natives nor did I care about the protagonist's plight.
The best movies of 09 for me were definitely: Up and District-9.
At least, with D-9 - as flawed as the protagonist is as a person, I, at least wanted to see the guy pull through and his story & character arc fully complete and develop.
Rant over. lol
