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. 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).

“Kiss you and we’re #1? M’oookay….”
Despite every other industry ailing during the recession and everything, Hollywood has already set a new revenue record for theatrical releases in 2009, already grossing over $9.79 BILLION so far this year, which breaks the previous record of $9.68 BILLION set in 2007 — and that’s not counting AVATAR and the other X-Mas releases coming soon to a theatre near you! In fact, pundits are estimating that the annual box-office will surpass the $10 BILLION mark in the next 10 days or so. Not bad, not bad at all. More »

“You’re money and you know it!”
This is Sandra Bullock’s year and we’re just sitting around watching her movies, apparently. After posting the biggest opening weekend of her career with THE PROPOSAL this past summer with $33.6M (which ended up being her highest grossing film to boot with $164M), Bullock beat that mark with the opening for THE BLIND SIDE three weeks ago, $34.1M, and appears to be headed to yet another personal best, as the film just moved from 2nd place for the past two weeks (behind NEW MOON, of course) into 1st place in its third week of release and has already earned $129M — not to mention being the major surprise hit of the season!
