The News Corp (NWSA.O)-owned studio said “Avatar” has sold $1.841 billion worth of tickets worldwide during its unbroken six-week reign, and was a day or so away from surpassing the seemingly insurmountable $1.843 billion racked up by “Titanic” in 1997-1998.
The international portion stands at $1.288 billion, eclipsing the $1.242 billion haul of “Titanic.”
James Cameron’s “Avatar” dominated the North American box office for the fourth weekend in a row, earning $48.5 million and becoming the second-highest-grossing film of all time.
So far, Cameron’s other mega-hit, “Titanic,” which remained No. 1 for 15 weeks straight and garnered $1.8 billion in global sales, is the only movie to top the $1.34 billion worldwide earnings of “Avatar.”
If I was Cameron I would be feeling really good about myself right now. Just imagine the amount of money he will be paid to direct any movie from now on.
