Default Avatar thrashes Titanic's Box Office Figures!
Avatar is now the highest grossing film of all time, by a mile!!

Avatar has taken a collossal 2.6b in the box office worldwide... almost 50% of the worlds population, teh previous record was held by Titanic who was far ahead than any other movie with 1.8b!!!

That is a jaw dropping number for Avatar!!

Most films dont even make it to make 100m!!

Only 5 movies have made it passed the 1b mark.

1. Avatar- $2,556,989,342
2. Titanic- $1,843,201,268
3. Lord Of the Rings- Return of the King- $1,119,110,941
4. Pirates of the Carribean Dead Mans Chest- $1,091,345,358
5. The Dark Night- $1,022,345,358

Strange 4 out of the 5 have been in the 2000s. And we thought cinema was dead.

I think it's amazing. The story is beautiful and it's so sad. The acting is pure perfection too, great cast.

The saddest parts are when it's actually sinking and when the old couple are on the bed hugging. It's really sad stuff.

Sequels always ruin films anyway so I'm glad it couldn't get one. J, admit it. You cried!

Titanic is being re-released next year in 3D, does that mean it could pass avatar as highest grossing film, i.e last times takings + this times takings

With sheer delight when the iceberg hit. Has some of the cringiest dialogue I've ever heard and I never thought the cheesiness would be equalled. Then Avatar came along.... I see you. What absolute rubbish.

The only sequels that didnt ruin the original were IMO, American Pie 2 and The Godfather Part 2.

All other sequels are always much worse. However sometimes the 3rd movie is good (mostly in horror movies), eg. Scream 3 was much better than Scream 2, and Saw 3 was much better than Saw 2.

The worst sequel in the world is probably The Son of The Mask, sequel to The Mask (possibly my fave film ever).

A Titanic 2 would be absoloutley horrific to the original. Titanic, I got to admit, its a classic.

You know Di Caprio hates Titanic? Hates the effect it had on his career.

Nah, Cameron's had a few sequels of his own that have been as good as the first flicks in some ways - Terminator 2 and Aliens.
