Surprise, surprise - Avatar still atop the global box office

Surprise, surprise - Avatar still atop the global box office The juggernaut that is Avatar is on the highway to potentially hitting the $100 million mark in Australia and the scary thing is - no one knows when this beast is going to stop screaming!

The film took another $1.9 million at the Aussie box office over the weekend, more than double the film in second place, while in the U.S the blockbuster took an astonishing $54.6 million over the Martin Luther King holiday - this in it's fifth week of release.

Industry insiders are amazed at the success of James Cameron's epic and no one can see Stop sign in sight especially when you consider the Golden Globe awards won yesterday (Best Film and Best Director).

Just around the corner are the Academy Awards and who knows what the film will do there - it may just clean up and rightly so. Cameron has set the bar at a height unlikely to be seen again for sometime - the question is - will all films begin to be made in 3D? A revolution is almost upon us it'd be safe to say.

$1.9 million? Sure it wasn''t $7,002,454? That''s what the MPDAA and Urban Cinefile both reported - a mere 16 decline from last weekend.
