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.”

Must feel good to be the director of not only the highest grossing movie of all time but the 2nd highest too ha!

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.
