Ale Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Avatar Breaks Titanic's Worldwide Box Office Record Becoming the #1 Grossing Film of All-Time! January 26th, 2010 It only took six weeks for James Cameron's new film to top his previous film's worldwide record. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Avatar has become the top-grossing film of all time at the worldwide box office passing Titanic's monumental worldwide gross. Avatar currently stands at $551.7 million at the domestic box office and $1.292 billion international box office, giving it a total of $1.843 billion, which passes the $1.84 billion that Titanic earned 13 years ago. Fox confirmed that the mark fell sometime early on Monday. Avatar is still approximately $49 million away from Titanic's domestic box office record of $600.8 million. The Hollywood Reporter reports the latest No. 1 weekend overseas tally was $108.3 million grossed from 11,925 screens in 111 markets. It was the sixth consecutive weekend that Avatar grossed more than $100 million on the foreign circuit. Avatar is directed by James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Peter Mensah, Laz Alonso, Wes Studi, Stephen Lang and Matt Gerald. http://www.movieweb.com/news/NELoqPLOscsDPP ----- In Cameron's own words: "He's the King of the World....again!" :clap: Edited January 26, 2010 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Avatar Surpasses Titanic as the Highest Grossing Domestic Film! February 3rd, 2010 It has taken James Cameron's latest film just over seven weeks to accomplish what his last film took almost a year to do. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron's Avatar has broken the all-time domestic box-office record, with an updated domestic take of $601.2 million through Tuesday. The mark surpasses Cameron's previous film, Titanic, which held the domestic record for 12 years with the seemingly-untouchable mark of $600.8 million. The increase in ticket sales and the surcharge for 3D viewing was instrumental in this record falling in so short a time. Cameron's film still doesn't hold one all-time box office mark though: Gone With the Wind still holds the all-time record for total tickets sold, a record that has stood since the film's release in 1939. http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEa86ccaXIFRde ----- Okay, Cameron isn't only the King of the World. He's also the King of the Universe! Simply awesome.. :faint: Edited February 4, 2010 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
