James Cameron must be feeling like the King of the World! right about now. "Avatar" has made $1.02 billion dollars worldwide in just three weeks. And it topped the domestic box office again, as well. That rumored $500 million budget is paying off bigtime for Cameron and his investors.
I’m not surprised. It really is a great movie, even though moviegoers are having a love/hate relationship with Avatar’s political/environmental message.
Here’s the rundown on the weekend numbers:
1. "Avatar" ($68.3 million)
2. "Sherlock Holmes" (38.4 million)
3. "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" ($36.6 million)
4. "It’s Complicated" ($18.7 million)
5. "The Blind Side" ($12.7 million)
