Avatar Sinks Titanic

On the same day it garnered nine Oscar nominations, Avatar also became the highest-grossing movie ever. In only 47 days, James Cameron's Avatar grossed $601.1 million domestic surpassing Cameron's own Titanic who had held the top spot for 12 years.


We can get into that whole messy inflation deal or talk about how the premium 3D prices are boosting its gross, but who really cares? Not James Cameron certainly. But if you do care then Box Office Mojo has a more detailed breakdown of the record-breaking gross. To date, Avatar has amassed $2.07 billion worldwide. That's billion.
