This past Tuesday, Avatar beat a record that I thought would go unbeaten in my lifetime. Avatar overtook Titanic’s Domestic record of $601 million on Tuesday, and their looks to be no end in sight, especially with it’s 9 Oscar nominations this week. Many of you will cite inflation, 3D ticket price costs and other things to negate Avatar’s record breaking run, but in all fairness money is money to the studios, and Avatar has made the most ever. Also, consider all the things going against it like high ticket costs, blu ray, home theatre, ridiculous hype, and internet piracy and still it made all of that money. As of now, Avatar is at $2.05 billion worldwide, which is also a worldwide record. Head on over the The-Numbers.com to see a full list of Avatar’s records, there are many more like weekend and international records that I didn’t list here. Potentially, at it’s current pace, $750 Million domestic and $2.8 billion worldwide is not out of the question. James Cameron has once again claimed his throne as box office king, and who would have predicted the movie to beat Titanic would be none other than James Cameron’s next film.
