Battle at the Box Office 1/4

It was pretty much an exact copy of the previous weekend at the box office. Everything stayed exactly where it was with the exception of Did You Hear About the Morgans and Nine, which swapped eighth and ninth place. The major story however is that Avatar has crossed the $1 billion dollar mark with it’s worldwide total and is currently fourth in the all time box office totals behind Titanic, The Dark Knight and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Analysts are predicting it will likely jump up to second all time if it continues to perform as well as it has. Oh, and it made $1 billion in 17 days as well. I think the lesson we all should take from this is that no matter how much James Cameron spends on a movie, if you double it, you’ll get it’s box office total.
