I’ve run out of ‘clever titles’ for how great AVATAR is doing…

It’s easy for a lot of people to say NOW that they “always knew” that AVATAR would make so much money, or that it would beat TITANIC’s records, but the truth is that nobody really saw this coming, as only 8% of you thought the film would gross over $600M back on December 20th when we asked you that very question in our MOVIE POLL. In fact, most of you (60%) thought that it would make between $300-400M.

After only 5 weeks of release, AVATAR has grossed over $1.6 BILLION worldwide, while the TITANIC record stands at $1.8 BILLION. Yeah, it’s “only” $200M off the mark and something tells me that’s a done deal and then some at this point! Coincidentally enough, the last film to remain at the #1 spot for five weeks in a row was TITANIC, which stayed at #1 for 15 weeks in a row back in 1997-1998. Read More »

THE #1 MOVIE OF 2009 IS…AVATAR!!!

It didn’t take long for the “king of the world” to dethrone the man who likes to make movies that go “Boom!” a whole lot, as AVATAR became the #1 movie of 2009 in only its 4th week of release, beating out the previous #1 film directed by Michael Bay, TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, which had grossed $402M (James Cameron’s movie is currently at $429M).
