James Cameron's epic blockbuster, Avatar, once again well and truly dominated the U.S box office and is the number one film after 7 weeks of release, taking another $30 million to push the overall worldwide gross past the $2 billion mark (yes that's what I meant - BILLION!) and looks only days away from breaking the long held record held by Titanic of $600.8 million as the top domestic film of all time in the U.S Edge Of Darkness, starring Mel Gibson, debuted in second spot with a disappointing $17.1 million while romantic comedy When In Rome starring Kristen Bell landed in third spot with $12.1 million. The Tooth Fairy didn't face much competition from other kid flicks and took $10 million while The Book Of Eli featuring Denzel Washington rounded out the top five with $8.8 million. Does anyone know when Avatar will slip from top spot and more importantly - how much is the film actually going to end up taking. What we do know is Mr Cameron is one rich man. |
