BOX OFFICE

(20th Century Fox)

UPDATE – 12:15PM 1/10/10

The receipts are in, and Avatar actually had a BETTER weekend than expected, pulling in $48.5 domestically to help raise its worldwide total to $1.34 BILLION.

With a “B.”

We’d say James Cameron‘s having a pretty good year.

ORIGINAL POST – 1/9/09

An astounding box office run continues for Avatar, estimated to finish as the (easy) #1 at the box office for a fourth consecutive weekend.

Already the second-highest grossing movie of all time (worldwide) behind director James Cameron‘s own Titanic, the sci-fi epic raked in an estimated $13 million on Friday to kick start what looks to be a $46 million weekend. The film’s cumulative haul is expected to rise to roughly $425 million at the North American box office, overtaking Transformers: Rise of the Fallen as the top domestic movie released in 2009.

Meanwhile, the film is approaching $800 million overseas, edging closer to $1.2 billion overall.

Wow.

    This is just freaking crazy! :D… AVATAR FTW!!!!! And here I thought there was an economic crisis! LOL

    Just wondering… ’cause I know the numbers have to be with the ticket price, right? (ie, IMAX)… so if we put it in “tickets sold” and then we compared it to the other 2009 movies… will still be #1?… Yep, right?

    Thanks GC!… :D Keep the updates… me likes! :P

    I’m starting to think someone is playing with the numbers regarding this movie. No one I know has seen it yet and I asked people at a recent meeting how many times they’d seen it and not one person had seen it even once. I smell a rat! Gossip Cop are you sure this is true and it’s not being made up? I plan on seeing it next week but I just find it hard to believe it’s made more than a BILLION in such a short time….

    I’d believe it…I’ve seen it twice would easily see it a third..its brilliant. I’d say i’m not alone in seeing it multiple times. Theres ya billion
