Just one more record and maybe an Oscar or two and I can stop reporting on this mediocre movie.

The record-breaking worldwide figure — $1.858 billion, to the “Titanic” number of $1.843 billion — took just 39 days to secure. That’s quite a jump over the 41 weeks it took Cameron’s doomed love story to reach the lower number. Read more at MTV.com
