Avatar News: Avatar Box Office Earning Zooms Past $800 Million
The sci-fi animation craze Avatar will soon cross the collosus $1 billion mark in revenues. Avatar has done so ridiculously well that it seems Avatar will cross $900 million over the weekend and race towards the $1 billion mark in a matter of couple of days after that.
Avatar seems to be the competition for James Cameron’s Titanic (Cameron has also directed Avatar). Titanic managed to gross $1.8 billion worldwide and Titanic was at the box office for 15 consecutive weeks after release.
Avatar grossed 27 million on its opening night whereas New Moon made 72 million by comparison. If this movie, Avatar had bombed at the box office it would have been a paralyzing loss as the Avatar budget is estimated at over $500 million or half a billion.
Director James Cameron has also been talking about making a sequel for Avatar – Avatar 2 that is. And this he said two months before the first Avatar was released in theaters.
Avatar has been wowing fans all across the globe who have been dazzled by the awesome visual treats that it provides.
Britain’s biggest-selling tabloid, The Sun, called it
“the most dazzling film of the decade. … The final battle scene is 20 minutes long and absolutely mind-blowing.”
There is also some Presidential gossip – President Barack Obama and his family spent the last day of his year watching the tech-heavy Avatar film. Obama, his family and friends watched the movie at a theater near their rented vacation home in Hawaii.They had the whole theater to themselves.
