Avatar is a box office wonder. IT is almost unheard of most of the time to see a movie even make it to the top box office spot for more than a week or 2 nowadays. There are just too many new movies, and not enough movie goers to get a movie that many tickets sold for over a month. Avatar is one of those movies that it seems people are willing to go see more than once, however.
For the 5th straight week, Avatar sits a top the box office leader boards pulling in another $41.3 million, and is closing in on $500 million with domestic sales alone.
Denzel Washington’s “Book of Eli” settled for the #2 spot for the weekend, opening with $31.6 million. It is a post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.
At #3 was Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones”, earning $17.1 million after expanding nationwide in its sixth weekend showing.
Also, Avatar has just passed Star Wars as the 3rd most grossing film of all-time. They are not coming close to any quick weight loss diets in the sales department anytime soon it appears with a whopping $1.6 Billion worldwide sales total thus far. This is 2nd behind Cameron Crowe's tother top box office hit, Titanic at $1.8375 Billion. It is expected to pass #2 The Dark Knight within 2 weeks.
