BOX OFFICE UPDATE

James Cameron has done it again.

Avatar grossed $25 million on New Year's Day, setting it up perfectly to destroy the best-ever 3rd weekend record currently held by Spider-Man ($45 million). Early estimates suggest Avatar will earn ~$61 million this weekend.

If estimates are accurate, Avatar will end the weekend with over $340 million domestic and well over $800 million worldwide. Only 4 movies have ever broken the $1 billion worldwide mark, the most recent being The Dark Knight.

It looks as though, when the dust settles, Cameron will sit with not only the #1 movie at the box office ever, but probably #2 as well.

This is the top 5 as it stands today:

All-Time Worldwide Gross

1. Titanic ($1842.9 million)
2. LOTR: ROTK ($1119.1 million)
3. POTC: DMC ($1066.2 million)
4. The Dark Knight ($1001.9 million)
5. Harry Potter 1 ($974.7 million)
