James Cameron just out did himself because Avatar just beat out Titanic as the highest grossing film domestically according to Box Office Mojo. It took Titanic 252 day to reach the $600.8 million mark, but it only took Avatar 47 days to sink that number and earn $601.1 domestically. Granted the movie was able to soar in sales because it played in 3D and IMax theaters and those tickets cost more than the average movie ticket. If I were Paramount I would re-release Titanic in 3D just to beat Avatar. Although since it looks like nothing will stop Avatar from being #1 at the box office, I don’t even think that will help beat what ever numbers Avatar eventually gets.
BTW now that movie is the highest grossing movie ever, I think it is about time I see it.
