Avatar Takes Top Spot In All Time International Box Affice
James Cameron’s Avatar took the top spot at the box office for the sixth-straight weekend with $36 million, lifting its domestic total to $552.8 million.
Avatar hit $1.29 billion in international ticket sales, passing the $1.24 billion mark set by Cameron’s 1997 Titanic
After passing The Dark Knight on Saturday to become the second highest grossing film the science fiction epic is firmly in Titanic’s wake and should overtake it within two to three weeks.
Avatar raised its worldwide total to $1.841 billion just $2 million behind Titanic sitting at $1.843 billion.
Avatar continues to soar with relatively small competition. However, Mel Gibson’s first major role in fornt of the camera in seven years, The Edge of Darkness, has a good shot at taking Avatar down next week.
