‘Avatar’ becomes James Cameron’s second biggest hit behind ‘Titanic’
Avatar earns $250.4 million in 12 days
The mammoth-budgeted 3D sensation, Avatar, is director James Cameron’s second biggest hit behind the biggest earner of all time, 1997’s Titanic.
Avatar earned another $18.29 million on Tuesday, which pushes the film’s domestic total to a whopping $250.4 million after only 12 days at the box office. The $18.29 million is an increase over last Tuesday’s $16.1 million. Both numbers trail The Dark Knight’s $20.9 million on the all-time non-opening Tuesday list.
Overseas, Avatar has reached $476.2 million as of Dec. 29 for a worldwide total of a staggering $726.6 million. Cameron’s Titanic had a worldwide gross of $1.84 billion with $601 million coming from the United States.
James Cameron’s other top grossing films include Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies, Aliens and The Abyss. It’s hard to tell just how successful Avatar really is when inflated ticket costs from IMAX and 3D sales are added in along with the movie playing on more screens than any of Cameron’s previous films.
