Big, big movie news!
James Cameron‘s epic action adventure film Avatar is killing it in the box office!
This past weekend it became the first film ever to bring in the highest third weekend gross at $68.3 million. This new record made by Avatar blew away the previous record held by Spider-Man at $45.03 million. That’s a $23 million dollar gap!
With this past week being the week of celebrating 2010, the box office sure was a hit. Since Avatar was released 17 days ago it’s domestically made $352.11 million, and it’s made an outstanding $666.7 million in the foreign box office! The total worldwide box office gross for Avatar as of now is $1.018.8 billion dollars!
This film is well on its way to becoming one the most successful blockbuster films ever made. The only movie it has to worry about beating is another one of James Cameron’s masterpieces Titanic, which made $1.842.8 billion dollars! At the rate Avatar is going it; it’ll most likely beat Titanic by the end of this month if not sooner!
Congrats Cameron! Two of your fantastic movies are soon to be the highest grossing movies ever, talk about a lifetime accomplishment!
Now.. We just have to wait to see how fast he can pen and produce Avatar 2. Get those creative juices flowing Cameron, we can’t wait to see another work of art!
