    Wow mushy, are they really YOUR execs? I've never heard you "name" drop before. I'm not picking a fight here just find it funny how you phrased it.

    I did some checking with my studio execs in the know and AVATAR, thus far, has made $352 in profits. That's not $352 million. It's $352!!

    At least it is in profit land. The exec said it should top out at $3,000.

    Lol. Well I honestly don&#699t think it will beat Return of The Ring or Dead Man&#699s Chest let alone Titanic. As Cell said below it was a slow and steady ride which grew higher and maintained a paste like Avaar is now but less spur of the moment. This movie will not sty in theaters for 10 months and continue to make money like titanic. but it might bet TDK.

    Btw I always go by worldwide not us, because we&#699re not the only ones that matter folks. ;)

    Good info Cell, albeit better than your usual tirade of exclamation points and RANDOM CAPITALIZATION!!! ;P

    Glad to see Avatar's moving forward. I doubt it will sink Titanic's record, but I've been wrong before (actually, a majority of the time).

    PER WIKIPEDIA/Titanic (1997 film):

    The film debuted with $8,658,814 on its opening day and $28,638,131 over the opening weekend from 2,674 theaters, averaging to about $10,710 per venue, and ranking #1 at the box office, ahead of the 18th James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies. By New Year's Day, Titanic had made over $120

    million, had increased in popularity and theaters continued selling out. Its biggest single day took place on Saturday February 14 (Valentine's Day) 1998, making $13,048,711, more than six weeks after it debuted in North America. After it was released, it stayed at #1 for 15 consecutive weeks in the U.S. and Canada box office, which remains the record for any film.

    By March 1998, it was the first film to earn more than $1 billion worldwide.[41] The film stayed in theaters in North America for almost ten months before finally closing on Thursday October 1, 1998 with a final domestic gross of $600,788,188, and making double that amount overseas with an international gross of $1,248,025,607. The film acc*mulated a grand total of $1,848,813,795 worldwide, and to this day Titanic retains the record as the highest-grossing film in history.
