After months of claiming the top spot at the box office week after week, James Cameron's animated film Avatar has officially become the highest grossing movie of all time. With over $1.8 billion in ticket sales in just 39 days, the film has outshined the previous leader, Titanic, also a Jame Cameron film.
The next step for Avatar is to top Titanic's domestic revenue record - $600.8 million, and Avatar is well on its way with $555 million in domestic revenue already. There is also a lot of buzz about possible Oscar nominations for the film, which could put Avatar in a place that no film has gone before - $2 billion in worldwide profit.
Do you think they'll make it? Anyone reading this who HASN'T seen Avatar yet? Will you buy the DVD or do you think this is a theatre-only film because of the 3D animation?
