'Avatar' is king of the world

Hello All,

I remember when a lot of my friends were working on Titanic and all the stories of the craziness that was going on at the time. At that time it had the smell and feel of a "Water World" situation. With Avatar everyone knew it was going to be BIG but this BIG so quickly. It is going to hit 2.5B within 2 years if not more. 

Have a great day

Film trumps 'Titanic' as the all-time grossing title worldwide
James Cameron has conquered the worldwide box office, again.

As of today, 20th Century Fox and Cameron's "Avatar" surpassed previous record holder "Titanic" to become the highest worldwide grosser of all time.

Fox said final figures won't be available until Tuesday, but with weekend numbers for "Avatar" totaling $1.838 billion worldwide, pic's expected $15 million domestic earnings should give the pic enough steam to sail past "Titanic" with a global cume of $1.842 billion.

This latest record comes just after "Avatar" made history over the weekend, grossing $1.29 billion at the international B.O. to tackle "Titanic's" $1.24 billion.

"Titanic" still reigns Stateside with $600.8 million, but as "Avatar" maintains a heady lead over its competition -- pic fell only 16% in its sixth frame -- holdover should continue to close the gap, having already earned $551.7 million as of yesterday.
