AVATAR goes down…!!

After writing about AVATAR for the past 7 straight weeks, it feels a little strange writing about another movie being in the #1 spot at the box-office this weekend. Kinda like I’m cheating on James Cameron, you know? Mind you, I don’t think Cameron is too upset about DEAR JOHN knocking his juggernaut of a movie from the top spot this weekend, especially now that AVATAR is officially the #1 highest-grossing domestic movie of all-time…and then some!

His future’s so bright, Cameron’s
gotta wear shades…

Alright, let’s get all the AVATAR records and talk out of the way first. The film recently became the biggest grossing movie of all-time (worldwide) as it pranced past James Cameron’s previous record-holder, TITANIC, which had made $1,840,000,000 around the world. AVATAR, which is still going strong by the way, is already at $2,039,2000 and counting. That’s on the worldwide front though. In terms of domestic box-office, TITANIC still holds the top spot with $600M, but unless something cataclysmic happens in the world in the next couple of days, methinks AVATAR will surpass that figure as well, as it presently hovers around the $595M mark and is still the #1 in America today.

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. Well, I guess we’ve all learned a big lesson here and that lesson is that James Cameron is the king of all movies, and we just love anything he does, right? Right?!! Read More »

Five weeks at #1 and counting…

Uhhhhhm…for those people who didn’t think James Cameron’s AVATAR would ever beat James Cameron’s TITANIC as the highest-grossing movie of all-time…think again!!! 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).
