Christmas keeps going and going for James Cameron.
Thanks to Avatar‘s unrelenting box office might over the holidays and into the new year, the director is set to have the two highest-grossing films in history in a few days from now.
That’s right — Avatar has not only topped $1 billion in worldwide receipts, but will soon snag the #2 spot in box office history, right below Cameron’s own Titanic.
Boosted by enormous overseas business and 3D ticket prices, the sci-fi epic has shot to the #4 spot already, with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in its sights and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (the current #2) less than $100 million away.
Whether the film can come close to Titanic‘s mind-blowing $1.8 billion haul remains to be seen. But Avatar‘s blue aliens are seeing some serious green.
